Subject: Talk: Itsy: An Open Platform for Pocket Computing
On Wednesday, May 20, 1998, we will host a talk by Dr. Deborah Wallach of
DEC WRL. 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.
