WhereProject NameDescription
MIT Project Oxygen From the web site:
The Oxygen system must be
  • pervasive--it must be everywhere, with every portal reaching into --the same information base;
  • embedded--it must live in our world, sensing and affecting it;
  • nomadic--its users and computations must be free to move around --according to their needs;
  • eternal--it must never shut down or reboot; components may come and --go in response to demand, errors, and upgrades, but Oxygen as a --whole must be non-stop and forever.
MIT The GRID Grid is a system for routing in wireless ad hoc mobile networks
ISI SCADDS The SCADDS project explores scalable coordination architectures for deeply distributed and dynamic systems (e.g. wireless sensor networks)
Stanford Mosquito Net From the website:
The main goal of the Mobile People Architecture is to put the person, rather than the devices that the person uses, at the endpoints of a communication session. This architecture introduces the concept of routing between people.
CMU Coda More a file system than a mobile computing environment.
CMU Oddyssey There are several mentions of this on the website, but I can find no links to it. The one on the page does not work.
Berkeley TinyOS In this project, they come up with an application environmnet and describe a programming model for networked devices. Very similar to ours but with no mobile code.
Berkeley IceBerg Mobile routing with cell phones.
Berkeley The Berkeley Wireless Research Institute Many research groups looking at the physical construction as well as various algorithms for routing and networking.
Univesity of Washington Chaos Routing Interested in routing protocols. Also has a routing simulator.
University of Washington Portolano The Portolano project seeks to create a testbed for investigation into the emerging field of invisible computing.
Princeton Networked Research Group (Includes SCOUT) This is the Princeton group in charge of doing happy things with networking. They've moved from the University of Arizona.
CalTech InfoSpheres Researching the composition of distributed active mobile objects that communicate using messages
University of Maryland The Mobile Computing and Multimedia Laboratory The mission of the Mobile Computing and Multimedia Laboratory (MCML) is to perform innovative research in the areas of mobile computer communications and multimedia systems.
Georgia Tech Everyday Computing Everyday Computing leverages computational capabilities to enhance day-to-day activities, focusing on a continuously present environment
UCLA The WAMIS Project This project will develop techniques for the design of wireless networks that are adaptable to a variety of application scenarios covering different transmission environments, varying network configurations, and a range of user services-data, voice, and image
