Ibis for mobility

Abstract

Mobility is an increasingly important part of today's computing landscape. There is currently an incredible growth in the deployment of "SmartPhone" devices, mobile computers with a variety of networking and sensor technologies. In addition, the growth of wireless networks such as WiFi have untethered users from the wall bringing mobility to traditional laptop computers. The challenges that the mobility of these devices create for networked computing are analogous to many of the problems faced in the area of Grid Computing.
