(*)The continuously unfolding field of Pervasive Computing refers to computing which is made to appear anytime and everywhere. The concept of using small internet-connected and inexpensive computers to help with everyday functions in an automated fashion touches on distributed computing, mobile computing, location computing, mobile networking, sensor networks, human–computer interaction, context-aware technologies, and artificial intelligence.
This course focuses on the underlying state-of-the art of ubicomp technologies, the challenges it raises across computer science: in systems design and engineering, in systems modelling, and in user interface design, as well as the potential domains of application.
The students should understand the fundamental underlying principles, methods and models essential for enabling a fully robust ubiquitous computing systems and environments.
