Good-day Everyone: Sorry for posting something slightly off-topic; I'll keep this short. I have been authorized by the University of Victoria's Research Ethics committee to begin a study pertaining to how organizations use and apply data synchronization services for semi-connected, mobile computing devices. In particular, this study is trying to ascertain the patterns and best practices used by individuals within such organizations pertaining to data synchronization of handheld devices. The currently approved survey consists of only seven questions, and should take the average respondent no more than five minutes to complete. The survey is completely anonymous, and neither asks nor stores any identifying information whatsoever. The output of this research will be used to create accurate user models for use in a Masters project entitled "Optimizing Synchronization Cost for Mobile Devices: The Expedient Trickle Sync Algorithm". Please note that this research is not currently interested in individual users synchronizing only personal, PIM-style data, but in organizations which have deployed handheld devices for business applications. If you are interested in participating in this survey, please send an e-mail to "yaz...@cs..." expressing your interest. Brad BARCLAY M.Sc.
