mBOSSS+: A Mobile Web Services Framework

Web services have been widely accepted as a platform-independent services-oriented technology. On the other hand, ubiquitous technologies are getting popular in a variety of domain applications. In particular, hosting web services from mobile devices became a way of extending knowledge sharing for teaching and learning purposes. This paper presents our design and implementation of a mobile web services framework for syndromic surveillance diagnosis and learning. This framework can assist farmers and veterinary students to study surveillance and diagnosis of farm animal diseases in the field. In this paper, we also present a performance study of hosting web services on mobile devices by evaluating the mobile learning application.
