Wireless
and mobile systems are growing at a breath taking pace and are
influencing the way people live and interact. The persuasiveness
of mobile computing is being felt not only by the business, but
also by each household. The characteristic of anywhere, anytime,
any device access to information is a reality and future of mobile
computing seems to be very promising. This talk explains in detail
how a wireless and mobile system works, how mobility is supported,
what the underlying infrastructure is, what interactions are
needed among different functional components and what the applications
are. Recent technological advances have enabled tiny micro-sensors
to do reliable monitoring and control of a variety of applications
without any human intervention. In this talk, we discuss many
applications of ah hoc and sensor networks and illustrate their
potential application areas. Finally, we look at the future directions
of wireless systems.
