Abstract

Within this paper, a client-server mobile eLearning (mLearning) system is presented, which operates within an InfoStation-based networking environment for the provision of mobile services to users under the always best connected and best served (ABC&S) paradigm. A light-weight distributed framework is utilized for service governance on the server side, along with a generic Android mobile application operating on the client side. This distributed design helps improve the system´s reliability and performance as it allows mLearning services to be deployed on multiple machines located in different areas.
