Current mobile computing
infrastructures consist of wireless providers and information providers. Due to
the breadth of companies involved
in
these areas, we envision the growth of a third type of service provider
who
will support many different types of mobility based services- including
location dependent applications. This new service provider will
support
both wireless and information providers as users. The new service
provider
will facilitate access to data from the data providers through
the
wireless infrastructure provided by its customer wireless providers.
Mobile
users will register for the desired services provided by this new
service
provider. Within this framework, we are investigating three major
mobile computing problems:
a. How do we design software to effectively support Location Dependent
queries?
b. How do we support a ubiquitous access and update to wireless
broadcast
data?

They're where it’s at!
Everywhere and anywhere.
