Conclusions
- Wireless data communication is clearly here to stay
- GSM and CDPD widely deployed
- Lots of interest on third-generation wireless: IMT-2000, UMTS
- Wireless communication and portable devices enable new visions (“paradigms”) of mobile computing: (ubiquitous computing, nomadic computing, ....)
- Raises many interesting research problems in areas of networking, distributed computing, and software engineering
- discussed problem of location management and our proposal
- propose dynamic application partitioning as design approach to address many of the problems inherent to mobile computing
- Consequences for choice of design methodologies, programming language, developments tools, software maintenance, ....?
- Own research: architecture for adaptive mobile applications, location-aware mobile applications, user mobility vs. device mobility
