【 摘 要 】

Problem statement: The emerging technology in broadband telecommunication andmobile devices has increased the use of mobile applications. However, the use of mobile application isaffected with low bandwidth or disrupted broadband telecommunication due to building blockage orout of coverage area. Approach: We proposed a Disruption-Tolerant Mobile Application Model(DTMA) that enables remote data access and overcomes constraint due to dysfunctionaltelecommunication. The interview process of Educational Service Officer at the Malaysian EducationalService Commissioner (MESC) is selected as the case study. Design of the mobile application is basedon the Smart Client and wireless Internet application concepts. The main components of the model aremobile devices with its own processing power, data storage, business logic and Web service. Thesefeatures enable the application to become disruption-tolerant, which can be run even whencommunication line is not available or disrupted. In order to prove that the proposed model is effective,a prototype based on the DTMA model is developed and evaluated. Results: The prototype is knownas Mobile Interview Information System (MIIS) and it was developed using Visual Basic and .Net
