CSCE 5013 - 003 Hot Topics in Mobile and Pervasive Computing

New course for Fall 2009

Description:

Advances in wireless and sensor systems has fueled the growth and evolution of a new class of computing:  mobile and pervasive computing. Mobile and pervasive computing is a conglomeration of several diverse areas of networking (mobile and sensor), and embedded systems. Hence, it suffers from unique complications including disruptive connectivity, variable bandwidth, energy constraints and easily sniff-able communications. Moreover, it spans a wide spectrum of applications including sensors networks, location-aware services, social networking, and wearable computing. This seminar will critically examine these topics from a systems perspective. It will cover a wide spectrum of applications under the umbrella of mobile and pervasive computing.

Requirements:

Knowledge of Operating Systems and Computer Networking concepts are required to understand the topics covered in the course.

Course content:

This will be a seminar style course where students are required to critically review papers from leading mobile, ubiquitous, and operating systems conferences such as Mobicom, SOSP, OSDI, MobiSys, Ubicomp, and Sensys.

The evaluation for the course will be based on class presentations and participation, written paper reviews, a take-home midterm, and an independent research project related to mobile and pervasive computing (groups of at most two student are allowed)
