Abstract
Data synchronization between data stored in mobile communication terminals and data in a central server is one of essential tasks for efficient mobile communication environments. Since, however, manufacturers of mobile terminals have their proprietary data synchronization mechanisms, data interoperability can hardly be achieved. In this paper, an integrated data synchronization gateway based SyncML is designed and implemented. SyncML data synchronization is one of open standards proposed by OMA(Open Motile Alliance). In other words, by constructing a data synchronization gateway which can transform various proprietary data into SyncML data and vice versa, data interoperability between mobile terminals which use different data synchronization mechanisms can be achieved. With an integrated data synchronization gateway system implemented in this work, interoperability among WinCE-based ActiveSync data, PalmOs-based HotSync data and OMA SyncML data can be achieved.
