It will take place in the Stanford Gates Building, Rm B03 in the basement. Time: 3:15. For those interested, there will be a demo in Room 104 at 4:15, after the talk. Itsy: An Open Platform for Pocket Computing Deborah A. Wallach, DEC WRL The "Itsy Pocket Computer" is a small handheld computer based on the low-power, high-performance StrongARM SA-1100 microprocessor. Our current prototype runs at 200MHz on a pair of AAA batteries, and sports a tiny, high-resolution LCD touchscreen, a high-quality audio codec, and up to 64MB of memory. Itsy is designed to be an open platform for research projects ranging from OS power management to novel gesture and speech-based user interfaces. The base Itsy hardware provides a flexible interface for adding a custom daughtercard, enabling a wide range of hardware projects such as wireless networking and GPS. Itsy also supports the Linux OS and standard GNU tools, facilitating the development of both kernel and application software, as well as ports of existing packages such as Apache. Deborah A. Wallach received her S.B., S.M., and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she worked in a variety of areas including massively parallel computer architecture, distributed systems, operating systems, and networks. Dr. Wallach has been a member of the research staff in the Western Research Laboratory since March 1997. Currently she is interested in several aspects of mobile computing, especially applications, operating systems, and user interfaces for portable hand-held devices. +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | This message was sent via the Stanford Computer Science Department | | colloquium mailing list.
