What Is Mobile Computing?
What is computing?
Operation of computers (according to oxfords advance learner’s dictionary)
What is the mobile?
That someone /something can move or be moved easily and quickly from place to place
What is mobile computing?
Users with portable computers still have network connections while they move
What Is Mobile Computing
A simple definition could be:Mobile Computing is using a computer (of one kind or another) while on the move
Another definition could be:Mobile Computing is when a (work) process is moved from a normal fixed position to a more dynamic position.
A third definition could be:Mobile Computing is when a work process is carried out somewhere where it was not previously possible
Why Go Mobile
Enable anywhere/anytime connectivity
Bring computer communications to areas without pre-existing infrastructure
Enable mobility
Enable new applications
An exciting new research area
Moving Object Databases
DOMINO (Databases for Moving Objects Tracking) Approach
System Architecture
Conclusion
Mobile computing has severe limitations
- however, it is far from impossible, and technology improves all the time
Lots of challenges
- some have (good) solutions, many others are still waiting to be solved
