Introduction to Mobile Computing -CSE 535 Fall 2007

Sandeep K. S. GuptaSchool of Computing and InformaticsArizona 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 GoalTo 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!
