Abstract

Short Message Service (SMS) is a service available on most digital mobile phones that permits the sending of short messages which is also known as text messages transferred between mobile phones, other handheld devices and even landline telephones. GSM Short Message Service becomes more and more popular world wide due to its low price, reliability and easiness of processing. It's used for personal communication as well as for business processes. Objective of this project is to develop an API where such SMS Service can be provided in the MS Windows Operating Systems. Most important aspect of this system is, it doesn’t use a subscriber gateway to implement the SMS services.

This product is mainly addressed not for the domestic mobile user community, but when it comes to the commercial aspects, it can be used in several ways. Typical services that handle large number of concurrent SMS requests and responses can use the product effectively.

The main aspect of this product is that it process messages concurrent. This feature is implemented through a Queuing Model. Further more the system enables the users to query a database through a SMS and take the result set back as a SMS. And also it has a feature to send bulk SMS’s through the system mean while it stores all the incoming messages. Finally the design of this application supports configurability up to the maximum by allowing the users to configure the backend and implement the business logic of their own.
