17. Ubiquitous Services
 Care about service, not application
 Want to receive a message using whatever device is handy
nearby
 Message is tailored to work according to device
Issues
 What is software infrastructure for integration?
 Do we get it by just adopting some standard?

18. Context-Aware Computing
 computers will be able to understand enough of a user’s current
situation to offer services, resources, or information relevant to the
particular context
 Walk into conference room, my email is projected on a big screen
there
 E.g : device will automatically switch itself to “vibrate” instead of
“ring” when it is in the cinema
For example:
Automated call forwarding (context awareness – should where the
person is)
lighting control  smart sensor wall - control heating and lighting.

19. Issues : Context Awareness
 Current location
Need location detection e.g. GPS or base station Indoors – radio beacon, IR.
 User activity
Walking, driving a car, running for a bus – how to detect this?
 Ambient environment
In theatre, alone, in meeting
 Local resources or services available
Device capabilities
 Screen, input, processing power, battery life ….
 Current QoS availability – particularly for radio links

20. Intelligent Environment
 An intelligent environment is a location (e.g. home, office, hospital,
etc) that is equipped with sensors, actuators and computers that are
networked with each other and the internet.
 The components are controlled by "intelligent agent" software that
knows the preferences of the occupants.
 It tailors the environment to suit them.
 The occupants can talk to the environment using speech and natural
language and the sensors can monitor the environment.

21. Business Services
 Ubiquitous Computing will lead to Ubiquitous Commerce (right
message, to the right person, at the right time!)
 Work can occur anytime, anywhere becomes all-the-time, everywhere.
 Ubiquitous will enable people to focus on their tasks and on
interacting with other people.
 Impact on Business Strategy – awareness, accessibility,
responsiveness
 Point of Presence! Context!
 Change in nature of service providers (bursty, point-of-presence value,
service level commitments)
 New services (businesses) will arise…

49. What is Ubiquitous Computing ?
• Ubiquitous computing is the method of enhancing computer
use by making many computers available throughout the
physical environment, but making them effectively invisible
to the user
– Mark Weiser
• Ubiquitous computing, or calm technology, is a paradigm
shift where technology becomes virtually invisible in our
lives.
- Marcia Riley

52. Three Waves of Computing
● Mainframe computing (60’s-70’s)
– Massive computers to execute big data processing
applications
– very few computers in the world
● Desktop computing (80’s-90’s)
– one computer at every desk to help in business related
activities
– Computers connected in intranets to a massive global
network
(internet), all wired
● Ubiquitous computing (00’s?)
– Tens/hundreds of computing devices in every room/person,
becoming
“invisible” and part of the environment

56. What Ubiquitous Computing Isn't
• A Mobile Computer – even if you have access to “everything”
you do it through only one access point.
• Multimedia Computing – while it may employ sound and
video it should fade into the background rather than demand the
focus of your attention.
• Virtual reality - where virtual reality puts people inside a
computer-generated world, ubiquitous computing forces the
computer to live out here in the world with people.

57. Overview- Issues and Challenges

58. Other related fields:
• Sensor networks
• Human-computer interaction
• Artificial intelligence

59. Other related fields:
1-Sensor Networks
• A sensor network consist of a large number
of tiny autonomous computing devices,
each equipped with sensors, a wireless
radio, a processor, and a power source.
• Sensor networks are envisioned to be
deployed unobtrusively in the physical
environment to monitor a wide range of
environmental phenomena
• e.g., environmental pollutions, seismic
activity, wildlife

60. Other related fields:
2. Human Computer Interaction (HCI)
• HCI is the study of interaction between people (users) and
computers.
• Goal of HCI: to improve the interaction between users and
computers by making computers more user-friendly and
receptive to the user's needs.
• Long term goal of HCI: to design systems that minimize the
barrier between the human's cognitive model of what they want
to accomplish and the computer's understanding of the user's
task.

61. Other related fields:
3. Artificial Intelligence
• AI can be defined as intelligence exhibited by an artificial
(non-natural, manufactured) entity.
• AI is studied in overlapping fields of computer science,
psychology and engineering, dealing with intelligent
behavior, learning and adaptation in machines, generally
assumed to be computers.
• Research in AI is concerned with producing machines to
automate tasks requiring intelligent behavior.

 The Airport Scenario
>>Jane wants to send e-mail from the airport before her flight leaves.
– She has several large enclosures
– She is using a wireless interface
>>She has many options.
Simply send the e-mail
 Is there enough bandwidth?
Compress the data first
 Will that help enough?
Pay extra to get reserved bandwidth
 Are reservations available?
Send the “diff” relative to older file
 Are the old versions around?
Walk to a gate with more bandwidth
 Where is there enough bandwidth?
>>How do we choose automatically?76/30

77. Example Projects :
Project Aura (5)
 The Mobile Task Scenario
 Aura saves Scott’s task.
 Scott enters office and gets strong authentication and
secure access.
 Aura restores Scott’s task on desktop machine and uses a
large display.
 Scott controls application by voice.
 Bradley enters room.
 Bradley gets weak authentication, Scott’s access changes to
insecure.
 Aura denies voice access to sensitive email application.
 Scott has multi-modal control of PowerPoint application.
 Aura logs Scott out when he leaves the room.

78. Example Projects:
Oxygen
 Oxygen (MIT)
 Pervasive human-centered
computing.
 Goal of Oxygen is bringing
abundant computation and
communication, as
pervasive and free as air,
naturally into people's lives.

79. Example Projects :
Oxygen (2)
 To support highly dynamic and varied human activities, the Oxygen system must be
 pervasive— it must be everywhere, with every portal reaching into the same information
base;
 embedded— it must live in our world, sensing and affecting it;
 nomadic— it must allow users and computations to move around freely, according to
their needs;
 adaptable— it must provide flexibility and spontaneity, in response to changes in user
requirements and operating conditions;
 powerful, yet efficient— it must free itself from constraints imposed by bounded
hardware resources, addressing instead system constraints imposed by user demands and
available power or communication bandwidth;
 intentional— it must enable people to name services and software objects by intent, for
example, "the nearest printer," as opposed to by address;
 eternal— it must never shut down or reboot; components may come and go in response
to demand, errors, and upgrades, but Oxygen as a whole must be available all the time.

101. The Ubiquitous Computing Challenge
 Society and ubiquitous computing could form an evolutionary
symbiosis
 Research is needed to guide and focus the evolution to the goal:
uncertainty and privacy
 Can systems autonomically adapt to satisfy evolving human needs?
 Ubiquitous Computing is the arena for pervasive computing
champions to fight out for their best ideas

120. UC – Here And Now
• Most work now is concentrating on the mobile infrastructure
for wireless networking
• TCP/IP and OSI are unprepared for handling mobility
(machine's name, and its network address are variant ).[6]
• “Calm Technology”: Calmness is a new challenge that UC
brings to computing [7]
• “The Periphery”: Calm technology will move easily from the
periphery of our attention, to the center, and back.

157. What is the cloud?
 IT as a service
 Cloud allows access to services without user technical knowledge or control of
supporting infrastructure
 Best described in terms of what happened to mechanical power over 100 yrs ago
 Now computers are simple devices connected to the larger cloud
 Data processing, storage and software applications that used to run locally are
now being supplied by big central computing stations. They're becoming, in
essence, computing utilities.

188. Advantages of Cloud Computing Instant software updates:
 Another advantage to cloud computing is that you are no longer faced with
choosing between obsolete software and high upgrade costs.
 When the application is web-based, updates happen automatically - available the
next time you log into the cloud.
 When you access a web-based application, you get the latest version - without
needing to pay for or download an upgrade.
 Improved document format compatibility.
 You do not have to worry about the documents you create on your machine being
compatible with other users' applications or operating systems.
 Where Word 2007 documents cannot be opened on a computer running Word
2003, all documents can be read!
 There are potentially no format incompatibilities when everyone is sharing
documents and applications in the cloud.
188

189. Advantages of Cloud Computing
 Lower computer costs:
 You do not need a high-powered and high-priced computer to run cloud
computing's web-based applications.
 Since applications run in the cloud, not on the desktop PC, your desktop PC
does not need the processing power or hard disk space demanded by
traditional desktop software.
 When you are using web-based applications, your PC can be less expensive,
with a smaller hard disk, less memory, more efficient processor...
 In fact, your PC in this scenario does not even need a CD or DVD drive, as
no software programs have to be loaded and no document files need to be
saved.

190. Advantages of Cloud Computing
 Improved performance:
 With few large programs hogging your
computer's memory, you will see better performance from your PC.
 Computers in a cloud computing system boot and run faster because they have fewer
programs and processes loaded into memory…
 Reduced software costs:
 Instead of purchasing expensive software applications, you can get most of what you
need for free-ish!
 That is right - most cloud computing applications today, such as the Google Docs suite,
are totally free.
 That is a lot better than paying $200+ for similar Microsoft Office software - which
alone may be justification for switching to cloud applications.

191. Advantages of Cloud Computing
 Unlimited storage capacity:
 Cloud computing offers virtually limitless storage.
 Your computer's current 200 Gbyte hard drive is small compared to the hundreds
of Pbytes available in the cloud.
 Whatever you need to store, you can.
 Increased data reliability:
 Unlike desktop computing, in which if a hard disk crashes and destroy all your
valuable data, a computer crashing in the cloud should not affect the storage of
your data.
 That also means that if your personal computer crashes, all your data is still out
there in the cloud, still accessible.
 In a world where few individual desktop PC users back up their data on a regular
basis, cloud computing is a data-safe computing platform!
191

192. Advantages of Cloud Computing
 Universal document access:
 That is not a problem with cloud computing, because you do not take your
documents with you.
 Instead, they stay in the cloud, and you can access them whenever you have a
computer and an Internet connection.
 All your documents are instantly available from wherever you are.
 Latest version availability:
 Another document-related advantage of cloud computing is that when you edit
a document at home, that edited version is what you see when you access the
document at work.
 The cloud always hosts the latest version of your documents; as long as you
are connected, you are not in danger of having an outdated version.
192

193. Advantages of Cloud Computing
 Easier group collaboration:
 Sharing documents leads directly to better collaboration.
 Many users do this as it is an important advantages of cloud computing - multiple
users can collaborate easily on documents and projects.
 Because the documents are hosted in the cloud, not on individual computers, all you
need is an Internet connection, and you are collaborating.
 Device independence:
 You are no longer tethered to a single computer or network.
 Changes to computers, applications and documents follow you through the cloud.
 Move to a portable device, and your applications and documents are still available.
193

194. Disadvantages of Cloud Computing
 Requires a constant Internet connection:
 Cloud computing is impossible if you cannot connect to the Internet.
 Since you use the Internet to connect to both your applications and
documents, if you do not have an Internet connection you cannot access
anything, even your own documents.
 A dead Internet connection means no work and in areas where Internet
connections are few or inherently unreliable, this could be a deal-breaker.
 When you are offline, cloud computing simply does not work.
194

195. Disadvantages of Cloud Computing
 Does not work well with low-speed connections:
 Similarly, a low-speed Internet connection, such as that found with dial-up
services, makes cloud computing painful at best and often impossible.
 Web-based applications require a lot of bandwidth to download, as do large
documents.
 If you are labouring with a low-speed dial-up connection, it might take
seemingly forever just to change from page to page in a document, let
alone to launch a feature-rich cloud service.
 In other words, cloud computing is not for the broadband-impaired!
195

196. Disadvantages of Cloud Computing
 Can be slow:
 Even with a fast connection, web-based applications can sometimes be
slower than accessing a similar software program on your desktop PC.
 Everything about the program, from the interface to the current document,
has to be sent back and forth from your computer to the computers in the
cloud.
 If the cloud servers happen to be backed up at that moment, or if the
Internet is having a slow day, you would not get the instantaneous access
you might expect from desktop applications.
196

197. Disadvantages of Cloud Computing
 Features might be limited:
 This situation is bound to change, but today many web-based applications simply
are not as full-featured as their desktop-based applications.
 For example, you can do a lot more with Microsoft PowerPoint than with Google
Presentation's web-based offering.
 The basics are similar, but the cloud application lacks many of PowerPoint's
advanced features.
 If you are a power user, you might not want to leap into cloud computing just yet.
197

198. Disadvantages of Cloud Computing
 Stored data might not be secure:
 With cloud computing, all your data is stored on the cloud.
 The questions is How secure is the cloud?
 Can unauthorised users gain access to your confidential data?
 Cloud computing companies say that data is secure, but it is too early to be
completely sure of that.
 Only time will tell if your data is secure in the cloud.
 Stored data can be lost:
 Theoretically, data stored in the cloud is safe, replicated across multiple
machines.
 But on the off chance that your data goes missing, you have no physical or local
backup.
 Put simply, relying on the cloud puts you at risk if the cloud lets you down.198

199. Disadvantages of Cloud Computing
 HPC Systems:
 Not clear that you can run compute-intensive
 HPC applications that use MPI/OpenMP!
 Scheduling is important with this type of application – as you want all
the VM to be co-located to minimise communication latency!
 General Concerns:
 Each cloud systems uses different protocols and different APIs… so it
may not be possible to run applications between cloud based systems.
 Amazon has created its own DB system (not SQL 92), and workflow
system (many popular workflow systems out there) – so your normal
applications will have to be adapted to execute on these platforms.

Top Reasons Why you should consider SaaS?
OPEX not CAPEX:
• “Pay as you go”
operational expense
rather than a capital
expenditure
• A subscription-based
on usage metrics (instead of
a perpetual license)
Lower cost-of-business
solution ownership
Predictability of costs over
time
The management, support,
and upgrading of the software
and the infrastructure that
supports it is the responsibility
of the solution provider
Economic Reasons
More rapid access to state-
of-the-art technology
Highly responsive and
scalable (upwards and
downwards) solutions that
cover entire business
processes
• Greater ability to
scale as business needs
change
User access to the
application
is over the Internet
• Ubiquitous and
relatively inexpensive
Flexible and customizable
solutions
Functional Reasons
Reliable access to data,
anywhere, anytime
Increased risk mitigation
with better support for
compliance
More rapid time-to-
production
Improved security,
performance, and availability
Avoidance of vendor lock-
in
Shift in focus to core
business management, rather
than disproportionate attention
on the computer environment;
redeploy headcount to
strategic IT initiatives
