  9. Cross-platform programming with Java technology and the IBM Web Services Toolkit for Mobile Devices
    When you?re writing a Java application for the server or desktop, you can be reasonably sure that the Java platform will fulfill its ?Write Once, Run Anywhere? promise. But when you?re dealing with code that will run under the J2ME Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP), things get a little trickier.
     
  10. Understanding quality of service for Web services Improving the performance of your Web services
    With the widespread proliferation of Web services, quality of service (QoS) will become a significant factor in distinguishing the success of service providers. QoS determines the service usability and utility, both of which influence the popularity of the service.
