Introduction to Mobile Computing -CSE 535 Fall 2007 Sandeep K. S. Gupta School of Computing and Informatics Arizona State University

Mobile Computing? Computing enabled by presence of wireless enabled portable devices (PDAs, cell phones etc.) Many other names/overlapping computing paradigms: –Pervasive Computing –Ubiquitous Computing –Wireless Computing –Embedded Computing

Course Goal To understand what are the fundamental challenges in MC and what are some of the solutions towards solving these fundamental challenges

Course Goals - Indirect To get you a high-paying job To enrich you with new ideas To train you in (mobile) systems oriented thinking To prepare you for research/profession in mobile computing – but more generally – in “adaptive” (next- generation) computer systems

Course Pre-req Knowledge of Computer Networks, Operating Systems Willingness to learn!
