Mobile Computing In The Academia
- Universities & Research Centers -

"Academic research being conducted in the universities today represents the product innovations of tomorrow that practitioners should be aware of, while building their long-term mobile technology architectures" - Chander Dhawan, the Site Managing Editor

The following list represents some, not all of the universities that are either providing graduate level education programs or doing research in mobile computing related areas.  Many of these sites maintain very good pages of various research projects being conducted at various universities. "These sites are not updated regularly and are not organized enough for simple-minded and time-starved practitioners who want everything served on a platter.  However, these sites are good reference sites for the academic community" - the Editor

We would like to mention links to following web pages which we found to be quite comprehensive for academic research in mobile computing:

ACM's Special Interest Group in Mobile Computing - Click here.

Aline Baggio's page for Academic Research and Papers in Mobile Computing; By far the best reference for academic research that we have seen. We wish Aline would have the time to update it. Nonetheless, it is a good start.
