Beginning from wireless laptops to cellular phones and Wi-Fi/ Bluetooth- enabled PDA’s to wireless sensor networks, mobile computing has become found in its impact on our daily lives. The objective of this paper is to point out some of the limitations, challenges, advantages and issues of mobile computing. In this paper, we also discuss security issues arising from the use of mobile components in distributed systems. We find that mobile agents can be used to overcome intrinsic problems of wireless networking. We know the operational model of our mobile computing environment, where we plan to show our proposed solutions. We also discuss security problems and challenges in mobile computing model.
