How should we react with respect to research opportunities? How should we adjust our curriculum at the undergraduate and graduate levels? Mobile Operating Systems - PEDS December 2009 * Android {Wikipedia} Android is a mobile operating system running on the Linux kernel. It was initially developed by Android Inc., a firm later purchased by Google, and lately by the Open Handset Alliance.[3] It allows developers to write managed code in the Java language, controlling the device via Google-developed Java libraries.[4] Mobile Operating Systems PEDS December 2009 * Android [R. Yang 4/14/2009] * Mobile OS A Mobile operating system or a Handheld operating system, is the operating system that controls a mobile device—similar in principle to an operating system such as Linux or Windows that controls a desktop computer. They are currently somewhat simpler, and deal more with the wireless versions of broadband and local connectivity, mobile multimedia formats, and different input methods. Mobile Operating Systems PEDS December 2009 * Comparing Mobile OSs “In my thesis I will compare these operating systems both qualitatively and quantitatively. The qualitative analysis will focus on the different features the operating systems offer to enhance quality attributes that are important for ubiquitous computing applications. The most important quality attributes that have been listed in the table below, together with the most important operating systems.” Mobile Operating Systems PEDS December 2009 * Comparing Mobile OSs “TinyOS is not a mob
