3. INTRODUCTION
☻ Pervasive computing (also called ubiquitous computing ) is the growing trend
towards embedding microprocessors.
☻ The words pervasive and ubiquitous mean “ existing everywhere ".
☻ The aim of Pervasive Computing is for computing available wherever it's
needed. It spreads intelligence and connectivity to more or less everything.
☻ Ships, Aircrafts, Cars, Bridges, Tunnels, Machines, Refrigerators, Door handles,
Lighting fixtures, Shoes, Hats, Tools, Homes and even things like our coffee mugs
and even the human body embedded with chips
☻ Mobile Internet access, Third-generation wireless communication, Handheld
devices, and Bluetooth have made pervasive computing a reality.
4. PERVASIVE COMPUTING
Pervasive computing means.,
1. Anytime/anywhere: 7 days x 24 hours, global, ubiquitous access.
2. Any device: PC, Palm/PDA, cell phone, and so forth.
3. Any network: Access, Notification, Data Synchronization, Queued
transactions, Wireless optimization, Security, content
adaptation/reformat, development tools, device and user management.
4. Any data: E-mail, Personal Information Manager (PIM); Inter-Intranet;
Public Services.

6. Continued
Other terms for pervasive
computing:
Ubiquitous computing
Calm technology
Things that think
Everywhere
Pervasive internet
Ambient intelligence
Proactive computing
Augmented reality
Characteristics of
pervasive computing:
Physical integration: integration
between computing nodes and the
physical world, e.g., a whiteboard
that records what’s on.
Instantaneous Interoperation:
devices interoperate spontaneously
in changing environments, e.g., a
device changes its partners as it
moves or as the context changes.
10. Differences between Ubiquitous
and Pervasive Computing
Ubiquitous computing
Ubiquitous means
everywhere
Ubiquitous computing is
more user & application
driven
involves use computers at
all.
Pervasive computing
Pervasive means "diffused
throughout every part of“
Pervasive computing is more
technology driven
involves devices like
handhelds devices, notebook,
palmtop etc.
15. ONGOING RESEARCH
PROJECTS
IBM ‘s “smarter planet “
The project is about building
a smarter planet by including
everyday case scenarios like
parking the car in a place by
communicating with another
car.
16. Benefits of pervasive
computing
Manage information quickly, efficiently & effortlessly
Removes complexity of new technologies
Convenient access to relevant information stored on networks
Easily allow user to take actions anywhere, anytime
provide supplemented environment with interconnected digital
technologies
17. Limitations of pervasive
computing
Pervasive computing is Not entirely secure
Frequent line connections that are broken
Slow connections
Very expensive operating costs
18. FUTURE ASPECTS
Cell phones will ask the
landline phone what its
telephone number is and
will forward our calls to it.
Wrist watches will monitor
our sugar
Cars will use the Internet to
find an open parking space
or the nearest vegetarian
restaurant inform the owner of
the needed service or
automatically install the
necessary (software) repair
Digi-tickers or implanted heart
monitors in heart patients will
talk wirelssly to computers,
which will be trained to keep
an eye open for
abnormalities.
19. CONCLUSION
Pervasive computing in an increasingly networked world
continues to affect more and more of the world's population.
Although this is a global phenomenon, regional and national
social and cultural factors will directly influence the
technologies and promise of pervasive computing.
Pervasive Computing - the next era of computer science.
PervasiveComputing.net is intended to be a information and
news website. It will cover various new developments
happening in pervasive computing area - basically mobile
computing, sensors, networking, security/privacy, ubiquitous
access to information, and related fields.
