Abstract

In this paper, we present PESYMO (PErvasive SYstem for MObile lifelong learning) a solution for Mobile Professionals (MP) that motivates workers to improve their skills through lifelong learning. In fact, they have to move from one place to another to accomplish their studies. This makes very complex the mapping of their timetable to Lifelong Learning Centers (LLCs) learning schedules. Consequently, they logically fail to get their diploma. PESYMO is performed in 4 steps: LLCs localization, LLCs courses matching with MP curriculum, LLCs courses schedules matching with MP free time, and MP subscription according to LLCs vacancy. Moreover a database is designed to support MP and LLCs activities in order to generate decisions guiding to the enhancement of this mobile learning system.
