Abstract
The decreasing size of computer components and the increasing availability of wireless communication technology make possible ubiquitous mobile computing: access from anywhere, at any time, to computer networks and the rich set of services attached to them. Mobile computers provide a powerful interface to services that allow a mobile user to access diverse sources of information, exchange electronic messages, interact with other users in real time, and utilize remote computing resources. Previous advances in distributed systems provide a base for such applications, but realizing the full potential of mobile computing requires solutions to new problems. Achieving mobility requires trading performance for weight and power. The hardware weighs less, but is less powerful. To achieve high-performance, mobile computers must utilize wireless networks to access the resources of more powerful but less mobile computers. In addition, moving a computer implies the need for reconfiguration at diffe...
