Motivation the characteristics and limitations of this environment affect a number of aspects of distributed computing and give birth to a number of interesting research challenges Wireless mobile computing breaks the stationary barrier and allows users to compute and access information anywhere, anytime and from any device However Dagstuhl 2006
The characteristics-limitations(and opportunities) • Wireless link • limited bandwidth • Asymmetry • High bandwidth variability • high latency • high cost • poor reliability • Frequent disconnections • Predictable disconnections • Mobility • System configuration not static • Heterogeneity • Hand-off • Location management • Mobile elements • resource-poor: • Limited memory • Limited computational power • Small screen • Limited battery life • unreliable • portability problems Dagstuhl 2006
Totally related to create a new distributed paradigm Dagstuhl 2006

The Research Flow: user’s aspect area itinerary Dagstuhl 2006
What are we working on?? • Personalizing the wireless user • Pervasive visual query language • QBB and Active Folders • Directory services for mobile services • Extend our work on Mobile views • Mobile agent-based pervasive middleware • Location-based Web crawling • eHealth • Sensors and query processing (Views) • Web Dynamic Content • Mobile and Internet commit processing Dagstuhl 2006
Final word “The problem in times of turbulence is not the turbulence; it is acting with yesterday’s logic.” Peter Drucker If you’re trying to look far ahead, and what you see seems like science fiction, it might be wrong. But if it doesn’t seem like science fiction, it’s definitely wrong. Christine Peterson, Foresight Institute Dagstuhl 2006
In the meantime... • Rersearchers and Professor are working hard to develop newer and better things for you... Dagstuhl 2006
