      Welcome to Georgia Tech's PalmPilot Page. It is maintained by the Future Computing Environments group. We're interested in the PalmPilot as platform for investigating mobile and ubiquitous computing.

      This page includes a listing of people at Georgia Tech using, abusing and expanding the utility of PalmPilot, a summary of what we're up to and the resources we use.

    • Ahmad Aslami (ahmad@cc.gatech.edu)
      Project: Student Note-taker for Classrom 2000.

    • Tucker Balch (tucker@cc.gatech.edu)
      Projects: Using the Pilot in a Unix environment, programming the Pilot in Java, developing a clock/syncronization scheme for multiple Pilots, investigating Java-based PC-side applications using portable serial line software.

    • Gary Boone (gboone@cc.gatech.edu)
      Projects: using a Pilot as a destination device for an intelligent email agent. Although there are currently many popular email filtering programs, these are rule-based systems that require explicit end-user programming. In contrast, we are creating a system that learns via suggestions from the user and by watching the user interact with email. The agent learns to sort, delete, store, forward, and perform other actions on messages. In conjunction with other Future Computing efforts, we would like to automatically determine the output device or modality appropriate for a user in their given context. For example, we would like to download to the Pilot only email that is urgent, and leave other email for browsing at the workstation

    • Michael Koetter (michaelkoetter@mindspring.com)
      Projects: we plan to use Netsape calendar as a master class scheduling platform for the LCC's upcoming Graduate Video Production courses. Students will see assignments, be able to check class meeting times, and reserve time on a/v resources online. The cool pilot part comes into play when the pilot equipped academes synch their pilots to the calendar and start really depending on them for vital info.

    • Sean Molley (mollems@cc.gatech.edu)
      Project: the soccer referee game record system. The Pilot is exactly the right size to fit in one of the uniform pockets on a referee shirt. The goal for the system is to integrate it (using HotSync) with a laptop computer that would be taken to the field. The team rosters and such would be entered via the laptop prior to the match and transferred into the Pilot. The referee would then use the Pilot to keep track of goals, substitutions, yellow and red cards, and other administrivia which currently require a notebook.

    • Robert "Rojo" Orr (rjo@cc.gatech.edu)
      Projects: Pilot/PC IR communication.

    • Anna Wines (pegasus@cc.gatech.edu)
      Project: implemented a version of the game Pong for two pilots.
