Mobile Computing: Addition
built 243 days ago
A graduate course that focuses on recent developments in mobile and pervasive computing has been developed by M. Satyanarayanan and Dan Siewiorek. The course is cross-listed both by the School of Computer Science (15-821) and by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (18-843). Originally entitled “Mobile Computing Systems and Applications,” the course is now called “Mobile and Pervasive Computing” to refiect the broadening of its scope over time. It has been offered once a year since Fall 2000, and has proved very popular with computer science and electrical engineering students. In addition to extensive readings, the course involves a substantial hands-on project. Each student is ... required to write one of two documents based on an idea in mobile and pervasive computing: a research proposal summary (similar in spirit to an NSF proposal), or a short business plan for a commercial opportunity.

The types of mobile computing equipment discussed here are hand-held computers... known as Personal Data Assistants (PDA), and tablet computers. Hand-held computers are usually less than 8 inches by 6 inches in size and can be easily held in one hand. These devices have a Windows CE operating system, and in addition to typical PDA functions such as viewing e-mail, contacts, and calendar, they can also use software packages such as ArcPad (ESRI field data collection software), Windows CE versions of Word and Excel, reader programs for documents, and voice recording.
