Abstract :
This paper describes PCC, a distributed multidisciplinary research program in personal computing and communication. The rich diversity of emerging services in the area of personal mobile distributed computing gives rise to new complex traffic patterns that impose new requirements on the infrastructure. These requirements call for the design of a completely new system architecture, integrating distributed computing concepts, wireless communication concepts, and high-performance communication concepts. With this in mind, PCC started its activities in June 1997. The main activities in the program are multidisciplinary research projects covering several universities and industries, and a distributed graduate school comprising 30 Ph.D. students today and a planned increase to more than 50 students by the end of 1999
