Mustapha Laoudi cs843 Research Proposal Mobile Data Synchronization Protocol Using SyncML Major Goals: Mobile device applications are not always connected to a network and its stored data in the server. Disconnected wireless applications can perform tasks based on the local copy of the application data. When the connection is reestablished between application components, the component inform each other of data changes which is know as data synchronization. In this paper we will describe SyncML architecture and protocol of synchronization techniques. The Scope: - SyncML Protocol Architecture - Sync Types - Sync Initialization - Implementation of SyncML - Conclusion and future development References: [1] SyncML Initiative Ltd., SynML Sync Protocol, Version 1.0.1 http://www.syncml.org/docs/syncml_protocol_v101_20010615.pdf, 2002 [2] Hugh Ji, WAP and SyncML Overview, http://www.cs.sfu.ca/CC/470/qyang/lectures/hughwireless.pdf,
