Mobile computing

Mobile computing has been defined as the ability to use computing capability without a predefined location and/or connection to a network to pnblish and/or subscribe to information [23]. It is a technique which has revolutionized the world of hand-held devices like personal digital assistants (PDAs), tablet PCs and smartphones [24]. The standard mobile phone application environment is supplied by Android [25]. The Android operating system released by Google in 2007 is an open catalogne of applications which nsers can download over the air or directly load via 

There are certain limitations of mobile computing, for instance the computing resources are restrained by the batteiy size and can handle only few GB of data [27]. However, these limitations are likely to be overcome in the near future. Another consideration is security as personal data are generally stored on smartphones and are susceptible to attack. Internet speed is slower on a mobile compared to a direct Internet coimection. Of course there are other general concerns as usual associated with the effect of radiations in human vicinity.

As an example of good choice of starting materials, NEC were interested in making wide use of biopolymers instead of petrochemically derived plastics and composites in their consumer electronics. There is a desire to use renewable materials to reduce reliance on non-renewables and to avoid the predicted rising cost of petrochemically derived materials. A range of biopolymers already exist, but they lack the performance required for products such as mobile phones, portable entertainment devices and mobile computers.

Two of the primary applications for wireless data communications systems are to enable mobile or remote connections to a LAN, and to establish wireless communications links between SCADA remote telemetry units (RTUs) and sensors in the field. Wireless card connections are usually used for LAN access from mobile computers. Wireless cards can also be incorporated into RTUs to allow them to communicate with sensing devices that are located remotely.

Digital communication networks are at the heart of modem society. The digitization of communications, development of the Internet, and the availability of relatively inexpensive but powerful mobile computing technologies have established a global communications network capable of linking billions of people, places, and objects.

As a result of a ubiquitous society, displays for electronic appliances such as mobile computers and mobile phones demand high efficiency. High efficiency electronics were realized with the advent of nanoscale devices. Especially for nanoscale devices, the importance of the chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP) process emerged to achieve the integration and multilevel interconnections. The CMP process supports increasing capacity. 

Moreover, significant advances in mobile computing, wireless communications, and network technologies, integrated with parallel advances in pervasive and wearable systems, have had a radical impact on modern healthcare systems. Mobile health (m-health) is propelling the evolution of e-health systems from traditional desktop telemedicine platforms to wireless and mobile configurations [20].

The environment is web-based. This has the advantage that it can be accessed from any machine with an internet connection from home or office or mobile computer. Also the web-pages associated with the environment can be distributed, that is different pages can be hosted by different machines in different locations.
