Mobile Computing

Abstract

Integrated Mobile Computing Environment and simulation test bed (MCE) is a software platform to design, develop, and test algorithms and applications for a network of mobile and static computers. MCE is designed with the idea of providing users with a transparent system so that an application may be tested on the simulation test bed and then used directly on the network without any source code changes. MCE provides default functionalities like routing, location tracking, and handoff along with service access points to add or change services resulting in a unique integrated environment for development and testing. MCE may also be used as a platform to evaluate and compare various mobile network algorithms.
