Research and Latest Trends in Mobile Computing
[attachment=30925]
Mobile Computing
Two word definition in itself: computing while mobile
Could be wireless or even wired
Laptop connection over WiFi or Ethernet
Application could be local on the device or connecting to server over network
Mobile computing becoming synonymous with wireless mobile computing
Key characteristics
Low device resources (interface, display, memory, battery, CPU)
Disconnected operation
Wrt Wireless
Low / varying bandwidth (compared to wire-line)
Handoffs/changing servers
Disconnections
Latest trends in Mobile Computing
Converged devices (communication, consumer electronics, computing)
Phone, Radio/TV, Camera, PC – all in one
Seamless mobility
Mobility across heterogeneous wireless networks (WiFi GSM)
Device operating systems
Moving towards Linux from Symbian and Windows CE
Motorola has already introduced Linux smart phones
BREW (Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless) from Qualcomm
Device form factor
Global Positioning System
Built-in sensors
Gait sensors for security
Ad-hoc networks
M-Commerce
Latest Trends in Mobile Computing – Examples BREW
Binary Runtime for Wireless Environment® (BREW™) provides a framework for creating applications on a wide variety of mobile devices
Application examples: Email, IM, navigation (location based), address content sync, games, etc
Product of QUALCOMM Internet Services, a division QUALCOMM Incorporated
BREW applications run on phones on which BREW Application Execution Environment (AEE) is present. AEE is loaded by the manufacturers using the BREW Porting Kit
BREW SDK
Facilitates development of software applications
Provides
general development and debugging tools
sample applications with source code
reference material and user guides
phone emulator: lets developers run applications on PC
BREW SDK is available on Qualcomm website free of cost
Microsoft VC++ is used as the development enviroment
DLL can be used on emulator
ARM compiler used to create mod file for handset
