Innovation in Mobile Computing for Science and Technology

Enterprise mobile computing is a significant innovation having impact across all professional disciplines. The future vision for mobile computing is influencing science and technology and mobile applications have been developed to enhance education, access to global scientific references, chemical and biological utilities and medical tool sets.
