Ubiquitous Computing ISNM Luebeck Summer 2007 Overview Slides References 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 and project work. Details will be given in slides. Examination: Please note, that the examination will take between 20-40 minutes. No materials are allowed. Pen and paper will be provided. We will not discuss numbers or exact definitions, but rather discuss concepts, principles and methods of ubiquitous computing. The following parts of the lectures will be covered in the oral examination:
The following parts of the lectures will NOT be covered in the oral examination. Of course you can speak about these topics during the examination, but no explicit questions will be asked.
