Abstract

In this paper we describe an application model for seamless mobile data access using handheld devices and wireless links. We go be- yond the current model in which handhelds are used as smart organizers augmented with stripped down versions of popular desktop programs. In- stead, we propose to integrate handheld devices seamlessly in a distributed computing environment. Componentized applications, adaptable middle- ware frameworks, and standardized protocols play a significant role in this new paradigm. We also describe an implementation within this paradigm using PalmORB, a CORBA client for the 3Com Palm devices.
