Policy Issues for Pervasive Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Pervasive or ubiquitous computing systems consist of large numbers of ‘invisible’ computers embedded into the environment which may interact with mobile users or form intelligent networks for sensing environmental conditions. Users will experience this world through a wide variety of devices, some they will wear (e.g medical monitoring systems), some they will carry (e.g. personal communicators that integrate mobile phones and PDAs), and some that are implanted in the vehicles they use (e.g car information systems). This heterogeneous collection of devices will interact with intelligent sensors and actuators embedded in our homes, offices, transportation systems to form an intelligent pervasive environment which aids normal activities related to work, education, entertainment or healthcare.
