These are used for filtering and setting update order priorities for the information that users intend to monitor, which depends on their location and changes as they roam. We also present a new development methodology for a class of mobile computing applications operating under an information dissemination metaphor. The methodology is based on UML, the OMG standard for object-oriented analysis and designporMobile computing applicationsInformation-pushObject-oriented developmentreport
