Mobile computing is embedded in our society. With our smart phones and tablets, we can use it ubiquitously: anywhere, anytime. And mobile is changing at a more rapid pace than ever; the so-called Internet of Things will reach 28 billion devices by 2021. Canada needs to stay ahead of the curve in applied research on mobile to support economic growth, educational standards, and security. New Brunswick's capacity to deal with rapid change is legendary: as Maritimers say, it is easier to turn a small boat than a big one. The province's small size makes it the ideal technology test bed for research and development into anywhere, anytime mobile computing. Our local attitude of co-operation on common-good efforts among partners from all sectors including business (on the principal that a rising tide lifts all boats) also makes NB ideal for large-scale partnered projects in applied research. With the renewal of the NSERC Industrial Research Chair for Colleges (IRCC) in Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing, the New Brunswick Community College (NBCC) and its partners will undertake applied research in technologies for education and workforce training, the Internet of Things, 5G and other communications standards, and cybersecurity. To make the biggest impact for Canadians, the IRCC's research will focus on three main areas: (1) Smart Communities; (2) personal learning environments; and (3) cybersecurity. We are not only dealing with market changes that have happened but those that will happen and are as yet unknown - equipping ourselves for an increasingly uncertain future of ever more rapid change. How much did the telephone change in its first 50 years? And how much have communications technologies (and our habits with them) changed in the last five? The next five are critical. By our research priorities and our work with partners, we are focused on perhaps the greatest impact of all for Canada's future: agility.

移动计算已融入我们的社会。借助智能手机和平板电脑，我们可以随时随地使用它。移动技术正在以前所未有的速度发生变化。到 2021 年，所谓的物联网设备将达到 280 亿台。加拿大需要在移动应用研究方面保持领先地位，以支持经济增长、教育标准和安全。新不伦瑞克应对快速变化的能力是传奇的：正如海员所说，转动小船比转动大船更容易。该省面积较小，使其成为随时随地移动计算研发的理想技术试验台。我们在包括商业在内的各个部门的合作伙伴之间为共同利益而进行合作的本地态度（原则上水涨船高）也使 NB 成为应用研究领域大型合作项目的理想选择。随着 NSERC 大学工业研究主席 (IRCC) 移动和普适计算领域的续任，新不伦瑞克社区学院 (NBCC) 及其合作伙伴将在教育和劳动力培训、物联网、5G 和其他通信标准和网络安全。为了给加拿大人带来最大的影响，IRCC 的研究将集中在三个主要领域：(1) 智能社区； (2)个人学习环境； (3) 网络安全。我们不仅要应对已经发生的市场变化，还要应对那些即将发生且尚未可知的市场变化——为日益不确定、变化更加迅速的未来做好准备。电话在诞生的前 50 年里发生了多大变化？在过去五年中，通信技术（以及我们的使用习惯）发生了多大变化？接下来的五个至关重要。通过我们的研究重点以及与合作伙伴的合作，我们专注于也许对加拿大未来影响最大的方面：敏捷性。
