Abstract
Mobile computing devices have become both affordable and
sufficiently sophisticated to allow for both commodity products such
as PDAs and their growing use as customisable research tools.
In this paper we lay out various lines of research being pursued by
our research group in: distributed algorithms for mobile devices in
temporary nomad use; use of wireless devices for stationery sensor networks;
use of wireless devices for mobile and cooperative robotics;
development of middleware and p2p software infrastructures for use of
mobile devices in ad hoc networks.
We are particularly interested in mobile decision support applications
and we review some of the emerging application areas and the support
and software infrastructure needed.
We consider how such commodity personal devices and the wireless
technologies associated with them are enabling a world of ubiquitous
computing in support of smart devices and appliances.
Keywords:
