Collaborative Research: Architecture, Design and Implementation of Mobile Computers

这是两所大学为移动计算机的快速原型而共同努力的成果。这些项目需要学生组成的团队在一个学期的课程中设计移动计算机系统的硬件、软件和包装，并通过将标准电子部件与定制制造的外壳和互连线束相结合来制造原型。该项目主要侧重于电信网络诊断的移动计算。移动计算机系统，包括固定和移动计算机、接口设备和软件，正在为这些应用设计和制造。该项目的目标是通过几种方式使原型制作过程系统化：通过提供一个集成的设计工具，可以同时表示电子、热和机械约束；通过为移动计算机提供模块化模板体系结构；并通过报告在移动计算系统中软件、移动硬件和固定硬件的协同设计经验。

This is a joint effort between two universities for rapid prototyping of mobile computers. The projects involve teams of students who over the course of a semester design the hardware, software, and packaging of mobile computer systems, and fabricate prototypes by combining standard electronic parts with custom fabricated cases and interconnect harnesses. This project focusses primarily on mobile computing for the diagnosis of telecommunications networks. Mobile computer systems that include stationary and mobile computers, interface devices, and software, are being designed and fabricated for these applications. The project goal is to systematize the prototyping process in several ways: by providing an integrated design tool that can simultaneously represent electronic, thermal, and mechanical constraints; by providing modular template architectures for mobile computers; and by reporting on experience in the co-design of software, mobile hardware, and stationary hardware in a mobile computing system.
