The final report format is now available. Final reports are due on-line on Wednesday, May 8 at 5 PM.
INSPEC images require Level 1 postscript ... this is why the print jobs have been hanging printers!
Note change in office hours: Fridays at 2 to Thursdays at 11.
Daniel Jiang has placed some information on the CS252 TA Web Page about setting your system up to read Acrobat/PDF files. See it here.
Note: when printing papers from the Melvyl INSPEC database, the print headers will say the job is from user Tulip (the browser application you are running was developed as part of the North Holland Tulip Project for viewing journals on-line). Some of the public printers may not be up to the task. Please, please, please try to use private/office printers whenever possible to print these jobs.
Ubiquitous access to information, anywhere, anyplace, and anytime, will characterize whole new kinds of information systems in the 21st Century. These are being enabled by rapidly emerging wireless communications systems, based on radio and infrared transmission mechanisms, and utilizing such technologies as cellular telephony, personal communications systems, wireless PBXs, and wireless local area networks. These systems have the potential to dramatically change society as workers become "untethered" from their information sources and communications mechanisms. While there is a rich body of knowledge associated with radio system engineering, the needed expertise must build upon this to encompass network management, integration of wireless and wireline networks, system support for mobility, computing system architectures for wireless nodes/base stations/servers, user interfaces appropriate for small handheld portable devices, and new applications that can exploit mobility and location information.
Today, there exists no well-defined body of knowledge a student must learn to become proficient in wireless communications and mobile information systems. This is an emerging field, and builds on radio engineering, data communications, computer networks, distributed systems, information management, and applications. This course will follow an interdisciplinary "tall thin" approach, making the physical limitations of communications technologies understandable to the computer scientist, while making the system architecture and applications accessible to the electrical engineer. In the long tradition of advanced graduate courses at Berkeley, this one will combine extensive reading and in-class discussion of the research literature with in-depth independent research projects of the students' own choosing.
The material in the course, drawn mainly from the research literature, will be presented in a bottom-up fashion. Communications technologies are presented first, to form the foundation for further discussion. This is followed by discussions of networking, distributed systems, and applications. Representative topical details follow in the paragraphs below.
