Abstract:
Advances in wireless networking technology have engendered a new paradigm of computing, called mobile computing, in which users carrying portable devices have access to a shared infrastructure independent of their physical location. This provides flexible communication between people and continuous access to networked services. Mobile computing is expected to revolutionize the way computers are used. This paper is a survey of the fundamental software design pressures particular to mobile computing. The issues discussed arise from three essential requirements: the use of wireless networking, the ability to change locations, and the need for unencumbered portability. Promising approaches to address these challenges are identified, along with their shortcomings. Keywords: mobile computing, hand-held computers, PDAs, surveys, wireless communication, networks, disconnection, low bandwidth, data security, mobility, location dependence, portability, low power, small user interfaces Available ...
