Sumi HelalMobile and Pervasive Computing

An interview with Sumi Helal

Back in 1984, when he was a student member of IEEE, Sumi Helal outlined his technological vision of what the world would be like in 2084 for the magazine IEEE Potential. He came across the magazine years later, after he’d helped make some of those technological predictions come true. Now at the University of Florida, Gainesville, Helal spoke to the IEEE Computer Society’s Dick Price about teaching and the two mobile middleware startups he helped found. His advice to students? Stay in school as long as you can.
