Developing and Managing Mobile Content
Thursday, May 8

In Japan, the ubiquitous mobile phone has reached proportions
equaling browser usage for email and web access. As such, it provides
a rich test bed for new technologies in the mobile space. Green-
Penguin has developed dynamic content applications for deployment on
mobile devices, and at May's meeting Rajiv Trehan, Chief Architect
and Lead Developer, will discuss the issues and architecture
necessary to providing manageable mobile content. The talk will
provide some background to current web technologies, the need for
separation of data and content, device considerations, attaining
device independence, login processing, payment considerations and
tracking of content views on mobile devices. Examples can be seen in
the www.tabemo.com application.

Rajiv was educated in England and Scotland, and has degrees in
Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science and Network Engineering. His
Masters thesis was in the area of Artificial Intelligence and
specifically in the area of Logic Programming and Mathematical
formalizations. He has acted as Chief Architect and Lead Developer on
a number of projects in the mobile and Web spaces. The projects
include: a Restaurant Table Exchange for the I-mode, J-phone and KDDI
platforms in Japan; a Web tracking ASP which monitors over
150,000,000 page view a month; multi-supplier online fulfilment
package for online shopping Malls. The technologies in these projects
form the basis of Rajiv s new company, Green Penguin. Rajiv vision
for Green Penguin is a technology company that works in close
partnership with existing business to enable them to develop new and
niche business models.
