Enabling Pervasive Computing with Smart Phones

Abstract

PERVASIVE computing 23Smart phones' processing capability permits flexible functionality that can be adapted or extended to include control functions for particular devices.

CAMPUS NEWS - Artificial Intelligence Methods Combined for an Intelligent Information Network

“…These technologies require state-of-the-art hardware and broadband mobile network connections. Other groups researching applications on mobile personal computers for ambient intelligence have come to the same conclusion as we have, that the main attention with pervasive applications has shifted from a "use anytime, anywhere" perspective to a location-based, personalized view [RMM05]. A lot of work is happening in this area at the moment.…”

A brief introduction to distributed systems

“…These are not necessarily restrictive characteristics, as is illustrated by smartphones [51]. Nevertheless, notably the fact that we often need to deal with the intricacies of wireless and mobile communication, will require special solutions to make a pervasive system as transparent or unobtrusive as possible.…”

Extending Pervasive Devices with the Semantic Grid: A Service Infrastructure Approach

“…Portable devices refer to general-purpose pervasive mobile devices, such as smart phones [16], or PDAs. While there is no commonly-accepted universal device platform, mobile phones have the greatest potential to replace all the different devices we currently carry in our pockets [17] because of emerging mobile phone technologies which provide various styles of networking capability through which the Grid can be accessed.…”
