DATABRICKS
Data Components for Mobile Applications


 DataBricks is a Sapiens 99 - Project Proposal

Sapiens Project # 33924, 2000

The  project focuses on the design and implementation of adequate system support to ease the implementation of new applications for mobile environments. To this end, it will provide, not only a set of data-management solutions suitable for different mobile settings, but also a specialized component-based framework and associated linguistic support that allows programmers to easily create adequate data-management solutions for their applications.

Project Team: Students:
