From the earliest days of mobile computing, Carnegie Mellon has been a major contributor of fundamental ideas, systems, and experimental validations. For example, the Wireless Andrew project transformed Carnegie Mellon into the world’s first campus with complete wireless coverage. The Coda file system pioneered the concepts of disconnected and weakly-connected operation, and the Odyssey project introduced the concept of application-aware adaptation. Carnegie Mellon created the term “wearable computing” which employs user-centered design methodologies to seamlessly integrate into current end-user work flows while dramatically improving user productivity. The entire February 1996 issue of IEEE Personal Communications was devoted to mobile computing at Carnegie Mellon. This early momentum continues unabated.

Current mobile computing applications are infrastructure-centric, due to the IP-based API that these applications are written around. This paper identifies the general scenario faced by the user of Pocket Switched Networking (PSN), and discusses why the IP-based status quo does not cope well in this environment.
