Abstract
The evolution of mobile computing strongly resembles the evolution of the three generations of computing that preceded it, but with a few crucial differences. Like the past generations, value shifts between hardware, software and services in fairly predictable ways. Unlike past generations, mobile computing is encumbered both by the complexity of distributed computing and by the hard limits imposed by physics and human physiology. Both mobile and connected embedded computing face issues related to power and scale. This talk examines the evolution of mobile computing, probes some of the difficult problems at its heart, and identifies a handful of challenges that could drive new research. We will examine some of these in detail. We also examine connected embedded computing and its evolution toward a true platform.
