Description:

Mobile computing, both physical and logical, draws heavily upon work done in concurrency and distributed systems. This course will survey the core ideas of concurrent systems, then build upon them to look at how these have lead to solutions for mobile computing. The remainder of the course will look at current research topics in mobile computing. Each student will complete a significant paper or project on a topic of their choosing from this area.

Intent:

The goal of this course is to provide students with an understanding of the field of distributed systems and the subfield of mobility. Students will also have the opportunity to explore current research in the field of distributed systems.
