课程特征 Course Features：
Mobile and pervasive computing is increasingly prevalent as the latest processors and wireless communication devices enable computer-to-computer links anywhere at anytime. The MSc in Mobile Computing offers an in-depth examination of the software and hardware technologies needed for mobile and embedded devices, including mobile phones and sensor networks. The course also examines web site creation to enable effective functionality for small screen devices and covers aspects of wireless networks that interface with mobile devices.
课程内容 Course Content ：
Semester 1
In Semester 1 you take two compulsory modules and one optional module.
•Paradigms of Programming (compulsory) teaches universal programming concepts such as programming paradigms, design strategies, development environments and testing. This will enable you to adapt to the use of different programming languages needed on your course.
•Middleware (compulsory) introduces the concept of middleware and how it supports interoperability across heterogeneous programming, operating system and network platforms. The module covers a variety of middleware platforms, with a particular focus on those used for web-based and pervasive systems.
•Wireless Systems studies the transmission and system requirements required to establish wireless links in point to point, mesh and broadcast personal, local and wide area wireless networks.
•Network Principles introduces the principles and practice of computer networking, with an emphasis on data communications and local area network technologies and design.
•Digital Mobile Communications introduces the principles and techniques of 2G mobile communications with particular emphasis on GSM networks. It covers infrastructure, protocols, multiplexing technologies, signalling, call set-up, data structures, system design and environmental considerations.
•Structured Data covers the principles and practice of structured data, including how it is represented, managed and transformed.
Semester 2
In Semester 2 you take one compulsory module, one of two alternative compulsories and one optional module.
•Pervasive Applications (compulsory) looks at the understanding and application of pervasive computing technologies, including the use of appropriate middleware and other development environments.
•Programming Mobile Devices (alternative compulsory) covers the current and emerging mobile technologies, giving you experience of developing software applications for mobile devices using appropriate programming languages and tools.
•Web Interfaces and Media (alternative compulsory) looks at the challenges of designing and constructing interfaces using a variety of media (eg text, speech, graphics) that are accessible to users in a wide variety of situations. It covers the physical, technical and psychological aspects of web interfaces design.
•Broadband Wireless Networks covers the latest broadband personal, local and wide area wireless networks, including network technology, protocols and implementation.
•Software Project Management studies the latest practices, skills and techniques that are used in the project management and quality assurance of computing software projects.
•Multiservice Networks covers the principles of multiservice network design and technology, illustrating these with case studies including state-of-the-art practice.
•Computer and Network Security covers the technological and human issues involved in securing and assessing the security level of modern networked computer systems, as well as looking at digital forensics.
教学与评估 Teaching and Assessment：
Coursework and projects form the basis for continuous assessment. These methods have been developed to provide the varied experience that our students require, including the opportunity to discuss your work directly with the lecturers.
