Anticipatory, Adaptive, and Scalable Mobility Infrastructure for On-board Information Access

无线技术的最新进展为车载移动计算中的无处不在的信息访问提供了新的机会。实现有效的车载移动计算基础设施在应用层和数据传输层都带来了巨大的技术挑战。我们的方法的特点是集成了卫星通信、预期传输协议和个性化数据管理系统的技术。最终成果将是有效和高效地在船上获取全球信息源和服务(例如，天气信息、股票行情和信息娱乐)的通用技术和概念。这些概念和技术将有更广泛的应用范围，如航空、海上和陆地公共交通系统。

The recent advances in wireless technologies are offering new opportunities for ubiquitous information access in on-board mobile computing. Realising an effective on-board mobile computing infrastructure poses significant technical challenges at both application and data transport layers. Our approach features the integration of techniques from satellite communications, anticipatory transport protocols, and personalised data management systems. The final outcome will be generic techniques and concepts for effective and efficient on-board access to global information sources and services (e.g., weather information, stock quotes, and infotainment). These concepts and techniques will have wider application scope, such as aeronautical, maritime and terrestrial public transport systems.
