Abstract
Mobile devices become more complex and harder to manage due to the advance of technologies. In this paper, we designed and implemented the DM Agent based on OMA(Open Mobile Alliance) DM(Device Management) which is a standard for mobile device management. The proposed DM Agent basically can manage parameter configuration through the commands ADD, DELETE, REPLACE and GET currently. Each module of the agent was designed and implemented separately for additional functions such as error reporting and software management. So the additional functions can be added by modifying Adaptor part which processes the management commands instead of modifying other modules which analyze or generate management commands. The DM Agent proposed in this paper is implemented based on WIPI(Wireless Internet Platform for Interoperability), therefore portability of the agent can be improved. In addition, this research can give a development example for dissenminating OMA DM as well as verify functional compatibility of WIPI platform. SK WIPI SDK and a Funambol DM test server are used to test operations of the implemented DM Agent.
