SyncML: Synchronizing and Managing Your Mobile Data is designed for every business and technology professional concerned with mobile applications and synchronization. Decision-makers will learn how SyncML will drive new business models and the delivery of entirely new products and services. Software architects and project managers will discover how SyncML components can be integrated into complete solutions; developers will learn how to maximize the performance, reliability, and scalability of those solutions. Annotation -- Written by the developers of the SyncML standard.-- SyncML allows for synchronization of any type of data, from any application, on any device, and over any network - examining deployment on both client and server sides.-- Enterprise adoption of wireless data will grow exponentially over the next five years. SyncML will be a key driver of that growth. This is the first book to explain the SyncML spec and reference implementations in-depth. The authors explain how to integrate Sync M L into mobile devices as well as how to set up a synchronization server which runs SyncML. An entire chapter is devoted to SyncML security. The major coverage is on the categories of SyncML, applications with a heavy emphasis on how to integrate mobile devices more tightly into corporate environments. SyncML was developed by the SyncML Consortium. Founding members include: IBM, Palm, Symbian, Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson and Lotus. It is supported by more than 650 key mobile and wireless leaders worldwide. Doug Heintzman, chairman of the SyncML Initiative says it best, "According to recent research from Cahners In-Stat, enterprise adoption of wireless data will grow exponentially over the next five years, with business users of wireless data skyrocketing to 39 million in 2006, from 6.6 million last year. We feel strongly that SyncML will be a key driver of that growth." Synchronizing and Managing Your Mobile Data is the first book to cover the new XML-based standard that will enable "universal synchronization" across virtually any device, platform, application, or service. Four leaders of the SyncML community offer an insider's guide to SyncML from both a technical and business standpoint. Discover SyncML's goals, components, and capabilities; learn how to build robust, high-performance SyncML solutions; and preview the breakthrough mobile services and applications that SyncML makes possible. A guide to a new standard for synchronizing information on wireless devices.
