This extended abstract presents an overview of the goals and preliminary design of Genesis. We believe that ATIS provides a very important commercial application of mobile computing and can be the killer application to bring mobile computing to mass markets. This paper describes the application domain rather than evaluating candidate solutions. 1 Introduction Advanced Traveler Information...
