Course Goals To give an insight into the technological trends of Mobile Computing in the emerging area between Smartphones and UMPCs. To identify new applications and paradigms that these technologies enable To investigate scientific and engineering challenges in that area To provide application development expertise in cutting-edge mobile technologies

Course Goals - Indirect To get you a high-paying job To enrich you with new ideas To train you in systems-oriented thinking To prepare you for research/profession in mobile computing

That is … CSE494 Goal 1 “To give an insight into the technological trends of Mobile Computing in the emerging area between Smartphones and UMPCs.” To gain in-depth knowledge of technologies on smartphones (e.g. iPhone, Android), Ultra-mobile PCs, and Mobile Internet Devices and In-Vehicle Information Systems (e.g. Atom/Moblin). To understand the differences between platform-dependent and platform-independent software development, including application revenue and business models To understand emerging HCI interfaces: gesture-based, attentive, immersive, zero-input etc

That is … CSE494 Goal 2 “To identify new applications and paradigms that these technologies enable” How they can change existing applications and paradigms: Telephony Personal assistance Social networking How they can enable new or long-visioned applications Internet-enabled automobiles Personal health care and monitoring 5

That is … (Cont.) CSE494 Goal 3 “To identify the scientific and engineering challenges in that area” Conserving Energy Ensuring security Communicating efficiently and effectively with the user Presenting information Gathering information Processing and managing information Context-aware computing

That is … (Cont.) CSE 494 Goal 4: “To provide application development expertise in cutting-edge mobile technologies” Intel Atom/Moblin Google Android

Definitions – Mobile Computing What is mobile computing? Computing that is not obstructed while the location of it changes Mobile computing = + ? Mobile computing draws from Wireless communications and networking Ability to communicate via wireless links Ubiquitous and pervasive computing Ability to provide computing anywhere and anytime (ubiquitous), usually in a seamless manner, potentially not perceived (pervasive)

Mobile Computing – Examples Mobile Medicine 911 Call and dispatch Ambulance arrives/departs Closest hospital Access patient records Send vital signs Update patient records Page hospital personnel Order medical supplies

Mobile Computing – Examples Party on Friday Update Smart Phone’s calendar with guests names. Make a note to order food from Dinner-on-Wheels. Update shopping list based on the guests drinking preferences. Don’t forget to swipe that last can of beer’s UPS label. The shopping list is always up-to-date. AutoPC detects a near Supermarket that advertises sales. It accesses the shopping list and your calendar on the Smart Phone. It informs you the soda and beer are on sale, and reminds you. that your next appointment is in 1 hour. There is enough time based on the latest traffic report. 13

Definitions – Health What is health? Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity (WHO)

Definitions – Social Networking What is social networking? Social networking is about enabling interactions with individuals who share interests

Definitions – Smartphones a device that combines the functions of a cellular phone and a handheld computer = + ? Characteristics: 5˝-10˝ screen, possible keyboard, cellular capability, embedded operating system, storage, internet applications, organizer, calendar Examples Blackberry iPhone G1 Characteristics: cellular capability, Embedded Operating System (e.g. WindowsCE), Storage, internet applications (email, browser), personal assistance and productivity (organizer, calendar)

Definitions – Mobile Internet Devices Mobile Internet Device (MID) a multimedia-capable handheld computer providing wireless Internet access = + ? Characteristics: 4˝-6˝ screen, no keyboard, near-general purpose O/S, HSDPA capability, no telephony Examples

Definitions – UMPCs Ultra-Mobile PCs (a.k.a Netbooks) a portable personal computer (may be a TabletPC) of very small factor (5˝-10˝) Characteristics: 5˝-10˝ screen, possible slate design, true general-purpose O/S, wifi/wimax capability Examples Samsung Q1 Sony VAIO UX OQO 02

Why talk about all the above? Technology convergence What technology will survive? A significant shift in consumer computing since laptops What will happen to laptops? Change in application development paradigm No keyboard, no mouse/pad, small screens

Course Mechanics Homeworks+Exams+Quizzes Quizzes – many will be un-announced Exams – one mid-term Homeworks – may involve programming In-class and online discussion Term Project Group or Self-defined (with help of instructor) Involves design and implementation Term Project presentation and demo Presentation, Demo, critiquing, summary

Class Format Lecture (5-75 min) As class progresses the lecture time will decrease (on average) One or Two Project presentations (1/2 hr each) Towards the end of the semester! 5 min. mid-break – if desired Note: slides of presenters should be provided 24 hours in advance they will be reviewed and feedback may be provided before the presentation
