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结果。这些项目涉及学生团队，他们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。该项目主要关注用于诊断电信网络的移动计算。包括固定和移动计算机、接口设备和软件在内的移动计算机系统正在为这些应用而设计和制造。该项目的目标是通过几种方式使原型过程系统化：通过提供可以同时表示电子、热和机械约束的集成设计工具；通过为移动计算机提供模块化模板架构；以及通过报告移动计算系统中的软件、移动硬件和固定硬件的联合设计经验。

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.
