Inhaltsangabe

Pervasive systems are today's hardware/software solution to Mark Weiser's 1991 vision of Ubiquitous Computing, with the aim of enabling everyone to enjoy computer services by means of the surrounding environment. Mainly thanks to low cost wireless communication technology and small portable personal devices, pervasive services can now be implemented easily. Advanced local or network applications can be joined everywhere simply by means of a mobile terminal like the ones we already carry (cellular, PDA, smartphone ...). Pervasive systems aim to free people from conventional interaction with desktop and laptop computers and allow a new human-environment interaction to take place on the basis of wireless multimedia communication. This book on pervasive systems discusses the theory fundamentals of pervasive systems as they are currently studied and developed in the most relevant research laboratories.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Pervasive systems, due to inexpensive wireless technology can now be implemented easily and local and network advanced applications can be joined anytime simply by using a mobile terminal (cell phone, PDA, smartphone etc.) Pervasive systems free people from conventional interaction with desktop and laptop computers thereby allowing a new human-environment interaction to take place on the basis of wireless multimedia communication.Addressing the theoretical fundamentals of pervasive systems as they are studied and developed in the major research laboratories, Pervasive Systems and Ubiquitous Computing is aimed at MSc and PhD engineering students
