Light weight student mobile organizer for netbook: A preliminary study

This paper describes a proposed Student Mobile Organizer application to help university students in organizing their college and personal activities. The application is designed to run in a netbook with Linux Ubuntu operating system. The application will be integrated with a university server, which is a case study at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). The integration allows the application to retrieve data from the server to improve the capability of the application system with additional functions. The examples of the data are lecture´s schedule, university announcement and important university dates. All the retrieved data is placed in the student´s schedule. In order to develop the integrated organizer, a methodology is proposed, that will cover from requirements until implementation. A framework to support the system is also proposed. This paper ends with conclusion and discussion that describe the benefits, disadvantages and suggestions to complete the organizer´s features.
