  1. GUEST EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION 

  Mobile Learning 

  Inmaculada Arnedillo-Sánchez 

  Introduction to the best paper from the 2006 IADIS International 

  Conference on Mobile Learning, revised for this issue of DS Online.

  2. MOBILE LEARNING <article> 

  A Comparison of Presentation Methods for Reading on Mobile Phones 

  Björn Hedin and Erik Lindgren 

  This study compares traditional scroll-based methods for reading 

  text-based content on mobile phones with Rapid Serial Visual 
Presentation
  (RSVP), a method that displays words sequentially.

  3. FROM IEEE INTERNET COMPUTING: GUEST EDITORS' INTRODUCTION 

  Evolving the Infrastructure for Technology-Enhanced Distance Learning 

  Vincent P. Wade and Helen Ashman 

  IEEE Internet Computing's guest editors examine key areas of evolution 
in
  learning technology and standards while attempting to maintain the 
balance
  between educational imperatives and technology offers.

  4. EDUCATION 

  Teaching Wireless Sensor Networks at the University of Melbourne 

  Egemen Tanin 

  Wireless sensor networks are an interesting, emerging topic in both 

  computer science academia and industry. The University of Melbourne's 

  Master of Engineering in Distributed Computing program offers a WSN 

  course, Sensor Networks and Applications.

  5. FROM IEEE INTERNET COMPUTING: TOWARD INTEGRATION 

  Let's Have a Conversation 

  Gregor Hohpe 

  Defining a conversation policy important in establishing service 
contracts
  between providers and consumers, but doing so can be a complicated 
task.
  Luckily, we have several approaches from which to learn. 

  http://dsonline.computer.org/portal/pages/dsonline/2007/06/w3tow.html 

  6. FROM IEEE INTERNET COMPUTING: WEBSENSE 

  Evolving the Link 

  Danny Ayers 

  This review of the hyperlink discusses early criticisms of the Web's 
most
  basic—though arguably most powerful—feature. 

  http://dsonline.computer.org/portal/pages/dsonline/2007/06/w3web.html 

  7. NEWS 

  Royalties and Taxes: Making Money on the Net 

  Greg Goth 

  Public officials and online entrepreneurs are struggling to achieve 

  economic equilibrium over the Internet. Integrating online logistics 
to
  brick-and-mortar statutes is harder than it looks. 

http://dsonline.computer.org/portal/pages/dsonline/2007/06/o6006news.html

  8. FROM IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PARALLEL & DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS <article> 

  pFusion: A P2P Architecture for Internet-Scale Content-Based Search 
and
  Retrieval 

  Demetrios Zeinalipour-Yazti, Vana Kalogeraki, and Dimitrios Gunopulos 

  The Peer Fusion (pFusion) architecture aims to efficiently integrate 

  heterogeneous information that is geographically scattered on peers of 

  different networks.

  9. BOOK REVIEW 

  A Door to State-of-the-Art High-Performance Computing 

  Arturo Ortiz-Tapia 

  A review of High-Performance Computing: Paradigm and Infrastructure , 

  Laurence T. Yang and Minyi Guo, eds. 

http://dsonline.computer.org/portal/pages/dsonline/2007/06/o6004bks.html

  10. BOOK REVIEW 

  Manufacturing and Control: Putting Agents to Work 

  Costin Badica 

  A review of Massimo Paolucci and Roberto Sacile's Agent-Based 

  Manufacturing and Control Systems 

http://dsonline.computer.org/portal/pages/dsonline/2007/06/o6005bks.html
