Movement of a host in physical space

 
Movement of a unit of mobility among
hosts
 Concerned with mechanisms to discover
who is around
 ˜ g Use of Registries in CORBA
 Passing around acquaintances in Gnutella
 Mechanisms to exchange Info
 Mechanisms to synchronize actions
 Mechanisms for coordination are supplied
by
 Middleware
 Underlying operating system
 Remember ´«Mobile computing is context-
aware computingµ
 Determined by (but different from) current
location of unit of mobility
 ˜ g Two Mobile units may be in the same location
but perceive different contexts due to different
administrative domains
 Context may include resources, services and
other system components
 Location changes may lead to sudden context
changes and are likely to be abrupt
 ˜ g A mobile agent on different servers has access
to different sets of services
 Focus on context is to
 Detect change of context
 React to change (often in a timely manner)
 Distinction between
 ˜vent Based Systems
 State Based Systems
 ˜vent Based Systems
 Consider the occurrence of events that are filtered
through a given specification
 The corresponding reaction is usually guaranteed to
eventually execute
 State Based Systems
 ˜nabling condition is a particular state of the system
 Reaction is completed before any other state
change is performed
Nomadic Computing

Ad Hoc Computing

A Wired core network with a wireless periphery
Opportunistic temporary networks where all the
hosts are wireless mobile devices
 The main goal of
mobile computing
is to work toward
true computing
freedom from
anywhere ,
anytime and
operate as if they
were sitting in the
´HOM˜µ or
´OFFIC˜µ
