            Abstract : 
Communication and scheduling are very important in today´s computer driven world. People are bound to meetings, tasks, and other events that run their daily lives. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a Web-based communication and scheduling system. Our goal was to create an efficient usable system that will allow users to stay in touch via e-mail and to provide a means for them to access their schedule from any where that is Web accessible whether it is a wired computer or a wireless mobile device. We discuss the problems we encountered in converting our Web application that we designed for a wired computer to its equivalent wireless interface.
