The proliferation of wireless networks and small portable computing devices has led to the emergence of the mobile computing paradigm. Mobile and nomadic users carrying laptops or hand-held computers are able to connect to the Internet through publicly available wireline or wireless networks. In the near future, this trend can only grow as new services and infrastructures delivering wireless voice and multimedia data are deployed.; This text is intended for technical and non-technical readers. It includes substantial coverage of the technologies that are shaping mobile computing. Current and future portables technology is covered and explained. Similarly, current and future wireless telecommunication networks technology is covered and reviewed. By presenting commercial solutions and middleware, this book will also help IT professionals who are looking for mobile solutions to their enterprise computing needs.; Finally, this book surveys recent research in the area of mobile computing. The research coverage is likely to benefit researchers and students from academia as well as industry.
The general understanding of design is that it should lead to a manufacturable product. Neither the design nor the process of manufacturing is perfect. As a result, the product will be faulty, will require testing and fixing. Where does economics enter this scenario? Consider the cost of testing and fixing the product. If a manufactured product is grossly faulty, or too many of the products are faulty, the cost of testing and fixing will be high. Suppose we do not like that. We then ask what is the cause of the faulty product. There must be something wrong in the manufacturing process. We trace this cause and fix it. Suppose we fix all possible causes and have no defective products. We would...

This book examines the joint effort of twentieth-century public schoool administrators and private philanthropy to initiate reforms to provide for children with learning difficulties. The author explores the development of these reforms from the establishment of special classes for backward children at the beginning of the century to the creation of programs for learning disabled children. He considers what this history tells us about current efforts to provide for at-risk students. He looks at both the way school administrators conceptualized childhood learning difficulties and the institutional arrangements which they introduced to accommodate these students, and pays particular attention to the preference of school administrators throughout this century for accommodating low achieving children in segregated classes and programs.
