Brief Description Mobile Computing research is progressing at a fast pace. While the initial research challenges were about enabling "information anywhere, anytime", we have largely achieved that aim today with mobile devices providing ubiquitous email and web access. With initial goals achieved, mobile computing research now routinely involves use of several other technologies, e.g. cyber foraging, cloud computing, sensing and activity inference, opportunistic communications, etc. to create the next-generation mobile computing systems. An example is the prevalence and popularity of location-aware services where sensing, cloud computing, and mobile platforms are combined to provide a personalized, context-aware service. In this course, we will be studying, through latest research papers, several of these technologies, e.g. external sensor integration, power consumption and analysis, crossplatform applications etc., that have now become an integral part of mobile computing. The course will be of the research nature and will involve advanced programming projects as part of the requirement. It will be assumed that the student has full understanding of Operating System and Computer networks and has advanced programming skills on both mobile (Android/WP7/iOS) aa well as conventional windows/linux based server/desktop systems.
