AN EFFICIENT APPROACH FOR THINNING WIRELESS MOBILE MESSAGES

Increasing popularity and wide usage make wireless mobile devices as quin- tessential entities of today's network. Formulating a uniform platform for messaging across a wide range of wireless mobile devices with varying standards, is a potential challenge. The eXtensible Markup Language (XML), though a legacy technology still is in use as a universal solution for the representation of heterogeneous data formats. But the storage requirements and processing requirements make XML less acceptable to the designers. This paper presents a method (based on YAML Ain't Markup Language - YAML) for thinning the message size in heterogeneous wireless mobile devices. The proposed scheme yields better results than XML as a message format. Keywords: Wireless networks, Mobile messaging, Thinning of messages, Knowledge representation, Mobile computing, XML
