- Introduces the
key enabling technologies
that make it practical
to deliver data
services over
wireless systems.
- Explores the
promising new
developments that
assure this rapidly
changing field
will have a major
role in emerging
networked applications.
The pace of development
in wireless is
truly compelling,
where the convergence
of wireless communications
and Internet technology
is creating real
opportunity for
innovation. Our
Mobile Computing
course covers
the essential
elements defining
this emerging
discipline, and
gives students
a background that
will make them
effective in contributing
to developing
and supporting
new applications.
• To provide
effective, up-to-date
training that
integrates the
essential elements
of this quickly
developing field.
• To offer
a thoroughly understanding
of the principles
and embedded technologies
that underlie
the delivery of
data services
in a wireless,
mobile environment.
• To present
a rationalized
view of emerging
standards initiatives
in wireless networking.
• To develop
a coherent, systems
view of the relationships
between these
various topics,
and provide an
appreciation of
how to achieve
desired results.
This course appeals
to technical professionals
involved in, or
affected by mobile/wireless
computing technology.
This includes
IT professionals,
engineers, technical
managers, network
administrators.
project planners,
applications developers
and strategic
planners.
It appeals to
a range of backgrounds,
from junior/intermediate
people needing
to develop a more
comprehensive
skill set, to
specialists who
wish to broaden
their knowledge
base.
