Ubiquitous Computing ISNM Luebeck Summer 2004 Overview Slides References Seminar Project Link Collection |
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 computers 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. The course consists of lectures, seminar talks and project work. Details will be given in slides. |
