The desire and the necessity for accessing and processing
information stored in computer networks anytime and anywhere' has
been the impetus for the growing interest in mobile computing
research. Wired computing networks and end devices such as PCs and
workstations have effectively extended the data-only networking
capability of a few years ago to sophisticated multimedia
networking. The cost of such transformation to the end user turns
out to be very nominal. Undoubtedly the wireless access technology
has given a big boost to mobile cellular telephony and data
networking. Processing general purpose multimedia information
requires, besides higher bandwidth, means for controlling the
available bandwidth and caring for quality of service issues. This
problem is accentuated by the need for providing such service in
the presence of wireless physical layer and host mobility. Thus,
tetherless and ubiquitous mobile and wireless computing systems
should carefully combine advances in computer networking and
wireless communication. While several experimental mobile computing
platforms have sprung up, much research is needed to overcome
technological obstacles in low power system design, sustainable
battery life, unreliability and limited bandwidth of the wireless
channel. Mobile Computing addresses some aspects of this new but
rapidly growing field of research. A total of eight papers span the
areas of protocols, network architecture, and performance issues.
All of the papers deal with the complexities of host mobility in a
wireless setting. They expose several challenges that affect system
design of mobile computing networks at various levels. By
addressing these challenges in an efficient and cost-effective
manner, it is hoped that user-friendly, seamless and faster
networks will emerge to serve the sophisticated and demanding
applications of mobile users. Mobile Computing serves as an
excellent reference, providing insights into some of the most
important issues in mobile and wireless computing.
