Ubiquitous Computing: Extending Access To Mobile Data

iii DEDICATIONS The most important dedication: to Nicole, my wife-to-be, for sticking by me and being so understanding when I was frustrated and grumpy. I'd really like to thank my advisor, Gregory Abowd, for giving such a wonderful opportunity (and a chance to play with cool toys) even though I was only a Masters student. Gregory never once laughed at my ideas, and stuck up for me when I needed it. Of course, if it were up to him, this project would have been called " Newton's AGo Go. " We'll try to ignore that. I'd also like to the entire Future Computing Environments group (I can't name you all) for providing such a fertile playground in which to develop such new and fascinating ideas. My work would have been useless without applications to existing projects. I'm glad I could do my part in furthering their research in ubiquitous computing.
