چکیده
In this paper we present experiences from adding soft ware mobility to mobile hand held computers In par ticular we have built TACOMA Lite a mobile code system for this environment With TACOMA Lite installed hand held computers can host and execute mobile code TACOMA Lite has been used as plat form for several mobile code applications Through experience with these applications we have derived a layer software architecture suitable for this type of mobile computing We conclude that given certain constraints mobile software can be a useful artifact in this environment

A TACOMA retrospective
For seven years, the Tacoma project has investigated the design and implementation of software support for mobile agents. A series of prototypes has been developed, with experiences in distributed applications driving the effort. This paper describes the evolution of these Tacoma prototypes, what primitives each supports, and how the primitives are used in building distributed applications.
متن کاملResearch Directions in Handheld AR
Handheld mobile devices are an exciting new platform for Augmented Reality (AR). Mobile phones and PDAs have the potential to provide AR experiences to hundreds of millions of consumers. However, before widespread use can occur there are some obstacles that must be overcome. In particular, developers must consider the hardware and software capabilities of mobile devices and how these can be use...
متن کاملThe study of students' lived experiences and perceptions of the effect of reverse learning on technology literacy
In the present study, the lived experiences and perceptions of students about the effect of flipped learning on the literacy of technology were examined qualitatively and phenomenologically. The research community consisted of all fifth-grade elementary school boy students of Ibn Sina Elementary School in Birjand who had the flipped class experience. Due to the nature of the research, a targete...
متن کاملOperating system support for mobile agents
The TACOMA project is concerned with implementing operating system support for agents, processes that migrate through a network. Two TACOMA prototypes have been completed; this paper outlines our experiences in building and using them. A mechanism for exchanging electronic cash was explored, as well as agent-based schemes for scheduling and fault-tolerance.
متن کاملGrid Computing on Mobile Devices
Mobile electronic devices, such as Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), Smart Phones, and wearable computers, have limited processing power, battery life and storage space. These restrictions slow application execution and hinder operability. A non-collaborating collection of mobile devices does not optimally use available resources. With a distributed software system, devices could collaborate ...
