Scabuy gets into bed with Sprint for barcode apps

Rating: Actually it's booked to do the same for Verizon shortly

It's not just analytics companies which are piggybacking on efforts by US network operators to more closely embrace mobile app developers, so are barcode specialists, too. Actually in this case it is Scanbuy which has launched an app developer program called Innovation Exchange. Not only is this available on the recently announced the Sprint Application Developer website (see our previous story here), it will shortly become available on the Verizon Developer Community, too. Are these guys shameless, or what? Anyway, Scanbuy is viewing its Innovation Exchange offering as a place where developers, marketers, and enterprises can link into a complete set of mobile barcode tools.Scanbuy points out that over 90 per cent of phones sold in developed markets now come with a camera thus converting virtually any handset into a personal barcode scanner.

Consequently, the Innovation Exchange offers a wide variety of developer tools which can be used to launch virtually every part of the ScanLife mobile barcode solution from apps to analytics.

Developers can employ one individual product from within Scanbuy's ScanLife system, or they can create a completely customised, end-to-end barcode system to fit their needs.

Included in the program are SDKs for Android and iPhone OS. No need for Symbian or Java, it seems, because this is a US centric initiative.

Resolute Digital & Parents Announce Flash Cards Mobile Application - Yahoo! News

The world of mobile learning is expanding at the same rate smartphones and tablet computers are increasing in popularity. Resolute Digital has already begun to capitalize on the growing need for mobile apps that appeal to both child users and their parents, and the agency's partnership with Parents has yielded exactly that.

Resolute Digital and Parents designed and developed the Parents Magazine Flash Cards App to be a mobile learning experience intended for toddlers and preschoolers. The free app includes free Color and Shape flash card sets and comes with additional Letters and Numbers card packs available through in-app purchase for $0.99 each. Addition/Subtraction and Multiplication/Division packs are coming soon.

Managing Creative Partner Brian McNamee explains that "We knew we had to keep the Parents Flash Cards application constantly entertaining. We focused on bright animations and using three different types of games -- flash cards, quizzes and tracing -- to engage children in different ways to make learning something to look forward to." Exposing children to the equally interesting ways of learning colors, shapes, letters, and numbers featured in the app increases memory retention, which is very beneficial in early stages of mental development. Children also receive kudos for jobs well done, which not only helps maintain interest but also instills a lasting sense of accomplishment.

About Resolute Digital

Resolute Digital delivers integrated creative, technical, media and website analytics solutions for large and small business. Vertical markets for which Resolute has deep practical understanding are publishing, consumer electronics, social networks, pharmaceutical goods and health services, consumer products, financial services, and telecommunications.

Practical issues in the development of a minimalistic power management solution for WSNs

A flexible Wireless Sensor Network platform for implementation of diverse applications has been developed and deployed at Instituto Superior Tecnico – Technical University of Lisbon (IST-TUL). Since its initial deployment in 2007, this testbed has grown steadily, supporting new nodes, applications and experiments. However, some initial problems, which were solved on an ad hoc basis, were becoming more serious as the network spanned throughout the campus. Major issues, like global power management, have to be tackled not only with traditional protocol level approaches but also from a system's viewpoint, providing solutions capable of guaranteeing a consistent testbed. We discuss the main issues related with the development of power management solutions, presenting our architecture, design choices and implementation, and address the lessons learnt from its integration. Experimental evaluation of our solution has shown considerable energy savings, extending network lifetime by up to nine times.

Improved PSOR algorithm for minimum power multicast tree problem in wireless ad hoc networks

In this paper, we introduce the application of partitioning-based SOR (PSOR) algorithm to the minimum energy multicast tree problem in wireless ad hoc networks. PSOR for broadcast was proposed in our previous work and it can be applied to the multicast tree problem with small modification. PSOR for multicast maintains the same theoretical bound for the approximation ratio and computational running time as PSOR for broadcast. The computational results show improvement in the solution quality (in terms of the sum of the transmission powers). PSOR outperforms the other algorithms and it shows better results compared to ISOR (iterated version of SOR). In this paper, we used the results of the corrected version of SOR for the comparisons. In addition, we present an improved version of PSOR based on simplified partition recovery method. The simulation results show significant reduction of computation time by the improved version.

In this article and associated interview with a co-founder of Layar, an AR technology company, Editor in Chief Joe Francica delves into the world of location-based augmented reality.

If you are just beginning to get interested in augmented reality (AR, Wikipedia definition) or potential applications thereof, it's still not too late to watch a revolution unfold. But miss the next wave of location-enabled technology and you'll miss out on both the money and the fun. Gartner "hype-cycle" be damned - AR may not fit its model, whereby emerging technologies promise too much and deliver too little after abundant publicity and media "hype" before finally realizing their potential with a viable mainstream product.
