Rapid integration of information technology into health care systems has included the use of highly portable systems-in particular, personal digital assistants (PDAs). With their large built-in memories, fast processors, wireless connectivity, multimedia capacity, and large library of applications, PDAs have been widely adopted by physicians and nurses for patient tracking, disease management, medical references and drug information, enhancing quality of health care. Many health-related PDA applications are available to both dietetics professionals and clients. Dietetics professionals can effectively use PDAs for client tracking and support, accessing to hospital database or information, and providing better self-monitoring tools to clients. Internship programs for dietetics professionals should include training in the use of PDAs and their dietetics applications, so that new practitioners can stay abreast of this rapidly evolving technology. Several considerations to keep in mind in selecting a PDA and its applications are discussed.

The fusion of Internet technology and applications with wireless communication provides a new business model and promises to extend the possibilities of commerce to what is popularly called mobile commerce, or m-commerce. In mobile Internet banking service through wireless local area network, security is a most important factor to consider. We describe the development of security service for mobile Internet banking on Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs). Banking Server and Authentication Server were developed to simulate banking business and to support certificate management of authorized clients, respectively. To increase security, we took hybrid approach in implementation: symmetric block encryption and public-key encryption. Hash function and random number generation were exploited to generate a secret key. The data regarding banking service were encrypted with symmetric block encryption, RC4, and the random number sequence was done with public-key encryption. PDAs communicate through IEEE 802.IIb wireless LAN (Local Area Network) to access banking service. Several banking services and graphic user interfaces, which emulatedthe services of real bank, were developed to verity the working of each security service in PDA, the Banking Server, and the Authentication Server.

최근 모바일 컴퓨팅은 계속적인 초소형 모바일 단말기의 출시와 다양한 응용 프로그램의 개발로 산업 전반에 영향을 주고 있다. 동시에 모바일 장비와 무선 네트워크는 서로 불가분의 관계로 이들에 대한 관심과 기대가 커지면서 모바일 컴퓨팅 및 무선 네트워크 기술도 향상되고 있다. 본 논문은 사용자가 지속 적으로 증가되고 모바일 장비인 PDA 에 무선 랜 카드를 장착하여 무선 인터넷에 접속하여, 일정 반경의 인트라넷 안에서 이동하면서 PDA 간에 자신의 음성(voice) 메시지를 송수신할 수 있는 보이스 메신저 시스템을 설계 및 구현하였다.

We have designed and implemented a Voice Messenger System(VMS) for sending and receiving voice data in order to measure and analyze the performance of a multimedia data transfer system using PDAs(Personal Digital Assistants) in a fast wireless LAN environment. The VMS has been configured as an infrastructure network by integrating a wireless intra-network based on IEEE 802,11 b standard with a wired network based on Ethernet. A sending time, a receiving time and a round-trip time(RTT) have been measured by varying its pecket size from 256 to 6656 bytes, Besides, we have performed the experiments to see which NIC is more stable between CF and PCMCIA type in such a wireless LAN environment, The results of such experiments show that the NIC with PCMClA type is better than that with CF type from the points of both efficiency and stability. The performance of a notebook computer with the attachment of a wireless NIC that is used as a VMS client is almost constant by varying its packet size when transferring voice data. However, with PDA client, in the case of receiving packets from the VMS server, the performance is the best when the pecket size is 6656 bytes, In addition, in the case of sending packets from PDA client to the VMS server, the performance is the best when the packet size is 4096 bytes. Even with the same pecket size, the time of receiving packets from the VMS server to PDA is longer than the time of sending packets from PDA to the VMS Server, Thus, we conclude that when PDA is used as a client by applying different pecket size when sending and receiving packets should be achieved a better performance over a wireless LAN environment.
