Information and communication technology are potentially significant tools in strengthening local initiatives towards sustainability. The Science and Technology (S&T) Framework for Sustainable Development provides a context for such development. This article describes a study aimed at examining how the existing mobile technologies of standard messaging service and wireless application protocol can be used to support the activities of an environmental grassroots organisation -London 21 Sustainability Network (henceforth London 21). Following the S&T Framework, it is clear that to realise the potential of these technologies a new mobile service should be effectively embedded into the structure and activity of the network. Using a participatory research approach, an extensive user requirements study with 273 participants was carried out to ensure that the development of the mobile service for London 21 fulfils the purposes, goals and expectations of the organisation.This article describes a Mobile Spatial Messaging Service, called EcoTEXT, which was developed and deployed for London 21. This service allows individuals to receive geographically targeted, action-orientated, time-relevant information via text messages on their mobile phones. The content of the service is information about upcoming local environmental events and activities, which match the interest of the user, when these events occur in close spatial proximity to where that user resides. This type of service represents a powerful new dimension for the provision of data-driven services in comparison to current textbased services. Location is giving the service additional meaning and value. The introduction of such a service into the organisation's communication toolkit offers the potential to create, supplement and strengthen social ties and interactions within the community.

The construction of intelligent mobile phone coal mine production and safety-monitoring system is based on the various existing safety-monitoring systems, for instance the coal mine gas-monitoring system etc, and coal mine production management system already in use in the coal mine. It makes use of intelligent phone as a platform and realizes its functions of safety monitor and production control by the surveillance of the data threshold of these existing systems and extracting correlative data, transferring alarm information timely to the safety and managerial staff in form of SMS. So it can be said that this system provides the managerial staff 'a mobile production and safety control center' which enables the users to get the production and safety information at hand anywhere and anytime.

“…Prior to GPS chips being embedded into mobile devices, the approximate position of a mobile phone is computed from trilateration with signal analysis from known base stations. Relevant messages can be received via Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) or SMS and could then be pushed out to known mobile devices in the area [14]. This positioning approach which constantly scans for a device's position can be costly and less accurate due to the size of area covered making it less viable as a technique for indoor navigation assistance.…”

Abstract-Travel can be an enjoyable experience but it can also be stressful when one is unable to get to the destination in timely manner. Satellite navigation systems (satnav) such as the ubiquitous Global Positioning System (GPS) provide an aid to locating unfamiliar places without hassle. However, the effectiveness of satnav stops at the doorstep of the building due to its requirement for line of sight with orbiting satellites. Within a large complex building, navigation typically relies on building signage, information from kiosks and getting assistance from information desks. The advancement of mobile devices and wireless technology offer an interesting proposition for the development of indoor positioning systems. In this paper, we propose a passive indoor positioning system to provide navigational aid and discuss findings from our pilot experiment using NFC technology.
