This is a project oriented course devoted to learning about system
development issues for small mobile computing devices such as the
PalmPilot. The goal is to introduce the basics of the undelying hardware
and OS issues, and give students first hand experience building novel
applications using existing development tools. We will also explore
research issues raised by these kinds of systems, including power
management, HCI issues, mobile computing, and wireless networking. The
projects may be done by individuals or small groups. Students will be
required to do presentations in class including project proposal, project
design, and relevant papers in the mobile computing literature. The
grades will be based on the project and presentations. We will also
invite outside exprets from the industry to give lectures to students.
