Techniques for the Efficient Resource Management of Context-Sensitive Mobile Applications and Their Utilization in Industrial Field Service

Context-sensitive mobile applications require a certain amount of flexibility due to the fact that they have to provide services for many different situations. The limited resources available make resource management a major challenge in such applications. In this paper, we present different techniques for the efficient use of resources of mobile devices. These techniques support the development of adaptable and flexible context-sensitive applications. Afterwards, we present some application scenarios from industrial field service in which some of these techniques can be utilized to improve service processes by providing tailored information and knowledge support.
