Course

4190.406 Mobile Computing and Applications

Instructor : Prof.Heonshik Shin (신현식)

Teaching Assistant

Eligibility for course registration

		·	Fourth-year student of CSE
		·	Or students with equivalent knowledge and skills

Course objectives

		·	To get familiar with technical issues and current trends in mobile computing
		·	To study and practice the techniques of building mobile applications

Overview

		· In the past, computer systems were built on the basis of standalone large- and medium-scale computers. Currently, thanks to unprecedented progress in semiconductor and networking technologies, networked PCs, notebooks and mobile devices play the central role in computing.
		· Furthermore, the ¡®distributedness¡¯ of computing has been a driving force behind the notion of ¡°anytime, anyplace, anyform¡± information processing, called mobile computing. Mobile computing techniques provide a basis for ubiquitous computing or pervasive computing.
		· Thus, the objectives of this course are to understand technical issues and current trends in mobile computing, and to get familiar with the development of mobile applications.
		· These objectives will be achieved through lecture, homework, and project.
