Ubiquitous Computing ISNM Luebeck Summer 2003 Overview June 28 June 30 July 25 July 26 Seminar Project Link Collection |
Overview
Content: In this lecture the basic building blocks of the next era of computer usage are presented. Starting from the vision of Mark Weiser about invisible computer weaved in our daily life, current trends in computer developments are outlined and new technologies are listed, that could be used to realize this vision. The lecture continues with a set of research examples, prototypes and commercial products. Since Ubiquitous Computing is an interdisciplinary approach, discussions about privacy and security as well as general social impacts will be performed. Finally, a small demonstration setup is planned to show some features of Ubiquitous Computing. |
Keywords: Main trends (Moore's law, new materials, sensors), pervasive/mobile/embedded computing, devices, smart objects, multi-modality, computer systems, operating systems, processors, hardware, display technologies, wearable computers, smart clothes, sensor networks (smart dust), human computer interfaces, network technologies, wireless networks (irDA, Bluetooth, Wireless LAN, GSM/GPRS, UMTS), adhoc networks, middleware and protocols (RPC, CORBA, JINI, RMI, WebServices, UpnP), applications, augmented reality, location awareness, security, privacy.

For those of you, who want to print several slides on one page to save paper and printer ink (good idea!) I would recommend to use any free printer tool like fineprint: http://www.fineprint.com.
