Abstract

We present in this paper some of the various usages of wireless technology, through web services and WAP. The importance of this paper is emphasized by the permanent interest of web developers to add WAP functionality and support to their web sites.

As for the practical part of the paper, we provide here two applications, both developed for the academic environment. The first one uses web services and let users consult their schedule from mobile devices. The second one leverages the WAP protocol to provide students with the opportunity to check their schedule and have access to information about professors and classes.
