Ubiquitous Computing Fundamentals

Under the guidance of John Krumm, a ubiquitous computing pioneer, this book brings together eleven ubicomp trailblazers who report on their area of expertise. Starting with a historical introduction, it moves on to summarize a number of topics-from the application of quantitative methods to ubiquitous systems software. Taking a decidedly human perspective, the book explains how to observe people in their natural environments and evaluate the critical points where ubiquitous computing technologies can improve their lives.

Zusammenfassung
Having moved from the age of the mainframe to that of personal computing, we are entering what some refer to as the third wave, ubiquitous computing, the era when computing moves from front and center to become more subtly integrated into our lives. This book presents an overview of ubiquitous systems design and deployment.
