This paper presents the design and implementation of M-Board (Mobile Notice Board) for Ad-hoc Network Environment that can be established and made available for an educational or industry environment. The cost-free communication among the mobile phone clients and server takes place with the help of Bluetooth wireless technology. M-Board is particularly developed as an informative application environment to provide the basic information like daily events or timetable to the users. The design is based on the amalgamation of Java ME with other technologies like Java SE, Java EE, PHP and MySQL. The system is designed to provide simple, easy-to-use, cost-free solution in a ubiquitous environment. The system design is easily implemented and extensible allowing the number of clients in Personal Area Network (PAN) for information exchange with the hotspot-server. %K M-Board %K Ad-hoc %K Ubiquitous %K Bluetooth %K mobile %K Java ME %K PAN %U http://www.ijcse.com/docs/INDJCSE13-04-02-071.pdf
