Thanks to evolution in the wireless computing and networking domains, technology is becoming ubiquitous, enabling users to access the various networked resources, anytime, anywhere. Still, effective integration of the ubiquitous technology into the environment to seamlessly deliver to users the right service at the right time raises numerous scientific and technological challenges, from usability of the networked environment to software platforms easing technology integration. Promises but also challenges that have arisen with the emergence of the ubiquitous technology are in particular highlighted by the tremendous research work that has been undertaken in the areas of pervasive computing and ambient intelligence, both in academia and in industry.
The Ubiquitous Computing module will provide state of the art survey of software platforms for the seamless integration of the ubiquitous technology, addressing software architectures that have been proposed and are being experimented to enable the pervasive computing and/or ambient intelligence vision. This includes latest solutions exploiting sensor devices that are keys to making systems aware of the physical context. Further, applications that are made possible by the ubiquity of the technology will be extensively presented. Applications in the business and home domains will indeed serve as a basis to discuss promises shown by the ubiquitous technology but also key challenges that need to be overcome.
