Abstract
The opportunities offered by the Internet are encouraging research aimed at the creation of a computational infrastructure that exploits the wide spread communication infrastructure. The mobile computation paradigm is a proposal to build a computational infrastructure that goes beyond the well-known client-server paradigm and increases dynamicity and flexibility. Despite the promising first steps, there is still confusion on the role of paradigms and technology in the development on applications based on the mobile computation paradigm. We present a case study in which we develop several versions of an application using different paradigms and different technologies in order to show when these concepts come into play and which are their relationships.
