These undertakings can be leveraged to capture new markets, customize the delivery of products and services, streamline and expand operations, and form business collaborations for the purpose of sharing resources and risks. In a rapidly changing environment, it is critical to focus on the fundamental technological aspects that enable the concept of pervasive computing. This book is designed to address some of the business and technical challenges of pervasive computing that encompass current and emerging technology standards, infrastructures and architectures, and innovative and high impact applications of mobile technologies in virtual enterprises. The various articles examine a host of issues including the challenges and current solutions in mobile connectivity and coordination, management infrastructures, innovative architectures for fourth generation wireless and Ad-hoc networks, error-free frequency assignments for wireless communication, cost-effective wavelength assignments in optical communication networks, data and transaction modeling in a mobile environment and bandwidth issues and data routing in mobile Ad-hoc networks. The book is essentially based on the technical theme of the first IEEE sponsored Academia-Industry Working Conference on Research Challenges, 2000 (AIWoRC’00). The conference held in Buffalo, New York in April 2000 carried the theme “Next Generation Enterprises: Virtual Organizations and Mobile/Pervasive Technologies”. Three papers have been selected from the AIWoRC’00 Conference, which cover some of the business and x technical topics pertinent to the above theme. The book has been enhanced by adding several articles on the architectural and technical aspects of mobile computing and communication. About This Book The primary audience for this book is industry practitioners, university faculty, independent researchers and graduate students. The articles have a mix of current and successful efforts, innovative ideas on providing the infrastructure support, and open problems—both conceptual and experimental. While some of the chapters in the book are significantly revised versions of the papers that appeared in the AIWoRC conference proceedings, the rest are new proposals from experts in the field. People in the academia as well as industry can benefit from this book. All the articles have gone through a peer review process. It is anticipated that the book will act as a single, consolidated source of information on the cutting edge of pervasive computing technologies. The reader will find four different flavors of mobile and pervasive computing and technologies, namely, business and management, architecture, communication, and computing. The first three chapters focus on the business aspects of mobile computing and virtual organization. The fourth chapter lays out an architecture for a fourth generation wireless network. Chapters 5 and 6 are geared towards communication technology, both wireless and wireline. Chapter 7 is a taxonomy of data management environments in mobile computing and Chapter 8 is a review article on data and transaction management and research directions in this area. Finally Chapter 9 addresses various routing strategies for the seamless switching between mobile hosts in an Ad-hoc network. Business and Management The first chapter by P. Mukherjee opens with a review of the various digital cellular standards such as Global System for Mobile communications (GSM), Time Division Multiple Access (TMDA) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), and the evolution of and generation of mobile technology and the technology options available in a developing country like India. The issues involved in introducing a new technology into a developing country is discussed along with critical success factors for choosing an application for use with mobile computing. Some of the initiatives taken in India to use the technology in an innovative fashion are explained and supplemented with a few case studies highlighting successful use of the technology. It observes that the Indian web and Internet companies simply cannot risk not going mobile.
