Summary

• Mobile computing is one of the biggest issues in computer technology, science and industry today. This book looks at the requirements of developing mobile computing systems and the challenges they pose to computer designers. It examines the requirements of mobile computing hardware, infrastructure and communications services. Information security and the data protection aspects of design are considered together with telecommunications facilities for linking up to the worldwide computer infrastructure.
• The book also considers the mobility of computer users versus the portability of the equipment. The text also examines current applications of mobile computing in the public sector, and future innovative applications.
• . This book contains the complete proceedings of the World Conference on Mobile Communications, held as part of the IFIP 14th World Computer Congress in Canberra, Australia in September 1996. Mobile Communications will be invaluable reading for engineers, technology managers and computer scientists working in telecommunications and mobile computing.
