Abstract

With increased use of smart mobile devices in recent years, we can note that the latter have already largely replaced conventional methods of organization and communication. The problem occurs when we want to use more than one device, which allows us to efficiently organize our time. Therefore, in this field the need for synchronization of these devices is great, whether we are talking about an application installed on a local computer and used at workplace or an application that is installed on a mobile device and is always within our reach. In this thesis we also compare the protocols most commonly used in the synchronization of events located on a remote calendar server. Based on initial comparisons we chose a protocol, which fulfilled our requirements. In the paper we also show the implementation of an open source solution that uses the selected protocol for data synchronization, and operation of the solution tested in a real environment.
