TL;DR: This paper deals with the problem of maintaining distributed directory server, that enables to keep track of mobile users in a distributed network in the presence of concurrent requests, and uses the graph-theoretic concept of regional matching for implementing efficient tracking mechanisms.
Abstract: This paper deals with the problem of maintaining distributed directory server, that enables us to keep track of mobile users in a distributed network in the presence of concurrent requests. The paper uses the graph-theoretic concept of regional matching for implementing efficient tracking mechanisms. The communication overhead of our tracking mechanism is within a polylogarithmic factor of the lower bound.

TL;DR: The design of the Student Electronic Notebook (SEN) is sketched to provide a partial catalog of problems in building a real system for wireless mobile computing.
Abstract: Some of the possibilities and requirements for mobile computing on wireless local area networks (LANs) are discussed from the systems software viewpoint. The design of the Student Electronic Notebook (SEN) is sketched to provide a partial catalog of problems in building a real system for wireless mobile computing. This project was initiated to investigate the potential of wireless mobile computing to reshape education. Some of the key directions for research in software technology for wireless, mobile computing are examined. Some of the authors' experience with wireless LANs is related. >
