Abstract

Seamless mobility entails providing consumers an enhanced experience -- with reduced effort -- as they move between different devices and environments. Because of the increasing diversity of user preferences, device capabilities and environmental conditions, engineering efficient and usable seamless mobility solutions can be quite challenge. This talk will present an applications research perspective on realizing seamless mobility, focusing on ongoing research in developing enablers for mobile gaming, device-to-device interactions, sensing, advertising and cross-device context sharing. Understanding the device limitations as well as the user expectations of the technology is critical to developing seamless mobility solutions that are both useful and commercially viable. From the tools and development perspective, we see opportunities and challenges in the four phases of realization -- design & development, deployment, usage and evolution. This talk will conclude with a look at existing support for tools and enablers for seamless mobility, and a discussion on future research directions for the developer community.
