Infrastructure for Pervasive Computing : Challenges.
free download
As mobile and embedded computing devices become more pervasive , it is becoming obvious that the nature of interactions between users and computers must evolve. Applications need to become increasingly autonomous and invisible, by placing greater
Programming for pervasive computing environments
free download
Pervasive computing provides an attractive vision for the future of computing . Computational power will be available everywhere. Mobile and stationary devices will dynamically connect and coordinate to seamlessly help people in accomplishing their tasks. However, for this
Smart classroom: Enhancing collaborative learning using pervasive computing technology
free download
Smart Classroom facilitates collaborative learning among college students. Students in such an environment form small groups to solve a specific problem or develop a group project. In a Smart Classroom, each student has a situation-aware PDA. Students PDAs dynamically
Issues for context services for pervasive computing
free download
Context-aware computing has the potential to greatly alleviate the human attention bottleneck. To facilitate the development of context-aware applications, we envision a context service that provides standardized support for applications. It supports bothWe elaborate on recent developments in the area of ambient intelligence . Our work includes descriptions of possible applications, a general architecture that can help to define such systems, and the computational process that can link perception through sensors with

Classifying pervasive games: on pervasive computing and mixed reality
free download
Pervasive Games have become popular in recent years. Their ambitious goal is to bring the computer into the world in order to augment existing games or to even come up with hitherto impossible or unthought-of forms of entertainment. This paper reflects on the various
Hybrid Approach to Collaborative Context-Aware Service Platform for Pervasive Computing .
free download
The behavior of pervasive applications depend not only on their internal state and user interactions but also on contexts sensed during their execution. In this work, we present a collaborative context-aware service platform based on hybrid context management model
Mobility in hospital work: towards a pervasive computing hospital environment
free download
Handheld computers are increasingly being used by hospital workers. With the integration of wireless networks into hospital information systems, handheld computers can provide the basis for a pervasive computing hospital environment; to develop this, designers need

Indoor location systems for pervasive computing
free download
As computing devices have been shrinking and proliferating and networking technologies have enabled ever greater connectivity, interest in the category of location-aware applications has grown. Determining location in cluttered, indoor environments presentsAt the heart of the ubiquitous com- puting vision lies an inherent con- tradiction. On the one hand, a com- puting environment must be highly knowledgeable about a user to conform to his or her needs and desires without explicit interaction almost reading the users mind. On the
Pervasive computing in hospitals
free download
Pervasive computing offers a compelling vision of unobtrusive, proactive aids to our daily life that vary with and are appropriate to our location and activities. In many respects, pervasive computing aims at moving beyond the desktop computer to weave itself into the very fabric
The dark side of pervasive computing

Bynum raises similar concerns about wearable devices for kids that let parents track them via GPS. Thats great if they are kidnapped or lost. Thats wonderful, Bynum says. On the other hand, they can now be tracked everywhere within 50 feet of where they are going. Tell This volume contains the papers presented at the Third International Conference on Security in Pervasive Computing (SPC 2006), held April 19 2 2006 in York, UK. The conference focused on methods, tools, principles, and practices for assessing and achieving security in
Methods for policy conflict detection and resolution in pervasive computing environments
free download
Recently, there has been increasing work in using policy in pervasive systems. Policy is a relatively new field and much work is still required to explore designs, concepts, and architecture for using policy in pervasive computing environments. In this paper, we briefly
Solar: Building a context fusion network for pervasive computing
free download
The essence of pervasive computing , also called ubiquitous computing , is to enhance the environment by embedding many computers that are gracefully integrated with human users [137]. At the time Mark Weiser proposed this vision in the early nineties, however, the
The battle of concepts: Ubiquitous Computing , pervasive computing and ambient intelligence in Mass Media
free download
For the past two decades the concepts of ubiquitous computing , pervasive computing and ambient intelligence have been used to describe the Internet of Things. This paper studies how the three concepts of ubiquitous computing , pervasive computing and ambient
