S oftware engineers who want to migrate existing applications from fully connected environments to mobile environments face a significant problem in obtaining and maintaining network connectivity. In fully connected environments, connectivity is static and permanently established through wired networks. Applications simply "assume" that they are online continuously. This assumption is clearly invalid in mobile environments that use wireless connections. While decreases in computer size and cost have made it more practical to use a portable computer as a mobile workstation, and advances in wireless technologies have made it possible to access networks outside the reach of wired connections, the development of software for use in a mobile environment has lagged behind these technologies. In general, support for mobile computing is poorly integrated in operating systems and network software.In this article, we discuss some of these problems. We then describe a wireless design of a communication layer for mobile computing and a prototype based on that design. Our work was part of AMIGOS (Advanced Mobile Integration in General Operating Systems), a col-

Modern cellular telephone systems extend the usability of portable personal computers enormously. A nomadic user can be given ubiquitous access to remote information stores and computing services. However, the behavior of wireless links creates severe inconveniences within the traditional data communication paradigm. In this paper we give an overview of the problems related to wireless mobility. We also present a new software architecture for mastering them and discuss a new paradigm for designing mobile distributed applications. The key idea in the architecture is to place a mediator, a distributed intelligent agent, between the mobile node and the wireline network. A prototype implementation of the architecture exists in an environment consisting of Linux and Windows platforms and the GSM cellular telephone network.
