Abstract

The goal of this chapter is to discuss the challenges of generic protocols and platforms for mobile collaboration in general and for the adoption of XMPP for mobile collaboration in particular. The chapter will introduce the XMPP protocol family, discuss its potentials and issues for mobile collaboration, and describe experiences with the implementation of mobile collaborative middleware and applications based on XMPP. In particular the protocol family has been used to create a generic middleware for mobile collaboration providing a set of generic services such as publish/subscribe, group management, and chat functionality, as well as advanced functionality for geo-location and geo-tagging, map visualization, and multimedia content sharing. For the implementation of our platform and applications XMPP is used in combination with the Android platform running on the mobile devices. The authors describe their experiences in adjusting and adopting XMPP protocol implementations based on Java on the Android platform.
