My interest in mobile computing stems from ongoing research at Rutgers University, where I was an undergraduate. At the University of Washington I am part of a group working in the area. I am interested in the systems aspects of mobile computing and hope to stumble over academic research in this area by immersing myself into a mobile environment.

For our research we initially worked with the hardware and software infrastructure built around the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center's (PARC) ``Ubiquitous Computing Project.'' The hardware includes low-power, infrared transceivers and handheld pen-based tablets. The software includes an application suite and service infrastructure that allows the handheld devices to operate with stationary applications.

Our current research is described in the UW Mobile Computing home page. This fall Terri Watson will be joining our research group, who has been working on WIT.

Marc's immediate project is to write a device driver for the PROXIM rangelan2 wireless ethernet card. This work is part of his Mobile Computing Independent Project.

Marc is also interested in PCMCIA devices and how they tie into mobile computing:

Below is a list of mobile computing projects/papers/information found on the web.
