Weather Information System for Farmers Based on WAP Technology
description The WAP application is an application that is accessed via mobile device over a wireless network; this technology has been rapidly growing and distributed in different environments and has basically affected our lives directly and indirectly. This study carried out an investigation into the Weather Information System for Farmers based on WAP Technology to simplify the weather queries via the mobile device. Furthermore the proposed application would be able to save the time and effort of the farmers in checking the required weather changes. The WAP Weather Information System was developed based on WML and ASP mobile programming architecture; furthermore, the usability testing results were obtained to determine the system usefulness. Finally, the WAP Weather Information System may help the farmers by providing them with useful functions, such as weather news, product price, and local news.
