their busy schedules, it was very kind of them to spare some of their precious time and give us
valuable suggestions which ultimately formed heart of this report. Mr. MOHAMMAD ASIF
(Professor of Computer Engineering) was a great source of inspiration and allowed us to work in
the lab for extended hours.
We also extend our thanks to all the professors of our department for their valuable guidance.
We would also like to thank our fellow students for their support and good wishes.
Finally we thank entire computer engineering department for excellent facilities and
encouragement given during the course of report.
ABSTRACT
Mobile Computing has fast become an important new paradigm in today's world of networked
computing systems. Ranging from wireless laptops to cellular phones and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth-
enabled PDAs to wireless sensor networks, mobile computing has become ubiquitous in its
impact on our daily lives. The debut if i-Phones and the proliferation of other handheld devices
have spurred excitement and interest in this evolving field. In this seminar, we will study the
state-of-the-art in both the research and commercial communities with respect to mobile
computing. We will investigate standard protocols and platforms, the capabilities of today's
commercial devices, and proposed next-generation solutions. In the process, we will seek to
gain an improved understanding about where the field is headed, and what is the importance in
themobile computing.
