Publications :: Study Project / Advanced Technologies Study "Java on PDAs"

In my Study Project during an internship at Credit Suisse (CS Financial Services, Technology and Services) from 09/07/2001 to 09/10/2001 I researched to what extent platform-independent software development for PDAs using Java is possible. The project was divided into two parts: Part I consisted of a detailed discussion of cutting-edge Java technologies for PDAs/smartphones (e.g. J2ME), in part II I designed and implemented a cross-platform Java benchmark framework suite (compliant to J2ME/PersonalJava/J2SE) to measure the performances/memory footprints of selected JVMs for PDAs.

Artifacts of the study project are the mentioned Java benchmark framework suite, the two-parts study project paper including test results and conclusions (~100 pages, in English. Published as an "Advanced Technologies Study" in the CSFS TaS intranet), a four-pages summary published in the CSFS journal "Transfer" (by Sönke Gold and me), a detailed presentation I gave at CSFS TaS and finally a short presentation I gave at the University of Zurich (see the slides below).

Currently I am continuing my employment (part-time, besides studying) at CSFS (Department IT Architecture and Standards, Technology and Operations / TOP). I am doing further evaluations, research and prototyping regarding IT Architecture Standardization (with a special focus on mobile device technologies).

In 10/2002 the latest paper "Java Virtual Machines für PDAs" (co-authored by Sönke Gold) has been published in the German IT journal "JavaSpektrum".
