    "abstract": "With the advent of readily available wireless communications and small\nhand-held computers, commonly known as personal digital assistants (PDAs), it\nis interesting to consider using these portable devices to access a control\nsystem. We have successfully ported the Experimental Physics and Industrial\nControl System (EPICS) to Windows CE 3.0 (WCE) for the Pocket PC (PPC), and\nthis paper describes the issues involved. The PPC was chosen because the WCE\napplication programming interface (API) for the PPC is a subset of the Win32\nAPI, which EPICS already supports, and because PPC devices tend to have more\nmemory than other PDAs. PDAs provide several ways to connect to a network,\nusing wired or wireless Compact Flash or PCMCIA Ethernet cards and modems. It\nis the recent advent of readily available wireless networks that makes using\nthe portable PDA interesting. The status and issues surrounding the various\nkinds of wireless systems available are presented.",
