Abstract

With today's technologies focus on mobility and portability, mobile networks suffer more and more from the increasing traffic load. This is due to the fact that millions of email servers are now prompting the network providers to notice their clients when emails are ready to be read using proprietary protocols like MS Exchange. This work improves our existing software connector model by giving the opportunity to use existing protocols such as IMAP, POP3 and so forth. Generic XML-based definition of both the client and the protocol of target system has been introduced. The implementation of a software solution has been done in order to illustrate the work follow of designing a connector based on the model.
