whitepaper Wireless Ad Hoc Discovery of Parking Meters2005-08-16 Boston University
  Locating a suitable parking spot is a common challenge faced by millions of city-dwellers every day. As common is the revenue generation by fee and fine collection in these municipalities. Wireless ad hoc networking technologies offer a new and efficient means to both simplify the process of parking and find collection as well as extending the convenience for drivers. This paper describes a multi-hop wireless Parking Meter Network (PMNET) that, when coupled with a GPS receiver, allows a user (driver) to quickly locate and navigate to an available parking space. The solution is achieved by equipping existing parking meters with wireless Radio Frequency (RF) transceivers and auxiliary hardware and software.

whitepaper XPod - A Human Activity and Emotion Aware Mobile Music Player2006-02-24 01:01:25
  This paper considers the notion of collecting human emotion and activity information from the user, and explores how this information could be used to improve the user experience with mobile music players. Although the device chosen is a mobile MP3 player, the results could also have significant implications in the mobile phone arena. In particular, this paper proposes a mobile MP3 player, XPod, which is able to automate the process of selecting the song best suited to the emotion and the current activity of the user.   
whitepaper Deploying Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 20052005-08-12 03:00:02
  Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 is a powerful, mobile, and versatile operating system that lets you take your PC many more places and use it in many new ways. This new version of the operating system is a superset of Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2, and takes advantage of new features provided by the Tablet PC hardware manufacturers. These new features not only enhance and improve the mobile computing experience, but offer many ways to increase productivity.   
whitepaper Experiments of Entertainment Applications of a Virtual World System for Mobile Phones2006-02-24 01:01:25
  Using a virtual world system for GPS-phones, the authors have developed a small RPG-like game to give information to tourists. Comparing with other virtual systems for mobile terminals, the cost of the system is much lower because only phones on the current market are required but no additional devices are needed. The game follows a Japanese famous tale and a player plays as the hero. Twenty subjects were recruited and they played it 35 minutes in average. Through evaluation sessions of the system, it was found that the system is highly evaluated as an entertainment system.   
whitepaper Microsoft University Relations Program: Tablet PC and Computing Curriculum2005-08-30 03:00:03 Hewlett-Packard
  The Tablet PC has the potential to dramatically alter the educational process. This new technology significantly changes the way students and teachers interact. It adds completely new dimensions to classroom interaction by providing digital ink and drawing tools for writing, sketching, and drawing; and for real-time collaboration. When integrating Tablet PC technologies with other advances in the computing sciences, undergraduate computing educators must re-think what one teaches students and how one enable students to learn.   
whitepaper Mobile Devices and Users - Keep mobile working safe, secure and under control2005-08-15 08:11:07
  Working with technology outside the office brings many challenges. Use of laptops has grown from limited user communities to widespread desktop replacement and broad deployment. The complexity of managing these devices outside the walls of the office is something IT departments have learned to address. Remote connection has extended from fixed location dial-in to wireless on the move, and smart handheld devices such as PDAs have become networked, converging with mobile phones. This larger and more diverse community of mobile users and their devices increases the demands on the IT function which has to secure the device, data and connection to the network, keeping control of corporate assets, while at the same time supporting mobile user productivity.   
whitepaper GPRS Wireless Internet Connectivity Using i.MX and Palm OS Based PDAs2005-11-15 01:00:02
  This paper describes and provides source code for a reference application, called GSM-GPRS, which provides mobile Internet access on a personal digital assistant (PDA) based on a i.MX processor and the Palm OS operating system, using a Motorola general packet radio service (GPRS) enabled phone, the Timeport 280. Guidelines for porting this application to other i.MX-based PDA platforms is also provided.   
whitepaper Fingertips of the Network: Featherweight Communicators and Sensors2005-12-22 01:01:52
  Hewlett-Packard has a business opportunity in low-power, general-purpose, networked, 'featherweight' computing devices that act as sensors or user interaction tools. Hewlett-Packard has designed and built a set of very small devices targeted to hospital applications. The first device assists caregivers with patient management in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Each patient in the unit has a battery-powered wireless 'clipboard' that stores and displays medication plans, messages, and other patient-specific information. The clipboards use IR to communicate with Pocket PC iPAQs carried by the staff and low-power 802.15.4 radios to communicate with a back-office data server.   
whitepaper Beyond the Datacenter - Backup and Restoration of Desktop PCs and Laptops2007-01-23 01:00:26 Acronis
  In this day and age, most businesses have a backup and restore solution in place for the data center. However, a solution covering only the data center puts organizations at risk of losing a significant amount of data and of incurring significant losses in productivity. According to IDC, 60% of corporate data resides on laptops and desktop PCs. Moreover, an employee without a desktop computer has severely curtailed productivity while IT is restoring the system and just imagine a situation where a virus has infected an entire network. Organizations cannot afford to lose data, much less have downtime. It costs too much.   
whitepaper Development of a Personal Digital Assistant-Based (PDA) Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA) Data Entry Program for Connecticut DOT "SUPERPAVE" Paving Projects2006-01-11 01:01:43
  The objective of the project presented in this paper was to develop and implement a PDA-based data collection system. This system would be an accurate, convenient and cost-effective alternative to traditional paper/pencil or computer spreadsheet data recording systems. The resulting system would be used in the daily operations of the Department's HMA quality inspection and assurance activities.
