Abstract

Some of the possibilities and requirements for mobile computing on wireless local area networks (LANs) are discussed from the systems software viewpoint. The design of the Student Electronic Notebook (SEN) is sketched to provide a partial catalog of problems in building a real system for wireless mobile computing. This project was initiated to investigate the potential of wireless mobile computing to reshape education. Some of the key directions for research in software technology for wireless, mobile computing are examined. Some of the authors' experience with wireless LANs is related
