![Ubiquitous computing (ubicomp) is a post-desktop
model of human-computer interaction in which
information processing has been thoroughly
integrated into everyday objects and activities. In the
course of ordinary activities, someone
"using" ubiquitous computing engages many
computational devices and systems simultaneously,
and may not necessarily even be aware that they are
ubiquitous doing so. This model is usually considered an
advancement from the desktop paradigm. More
formally, ubiquitous computing is defined as
"machines that fit the human environment instead of
forcing humans to enter theirs."[1]
This paradigm is also described as pervasive
computing, ambient intelligence,[2] or, more
recently, everywhere,[3] where each term emphasizes
slightly different aspects. When primarily concerning
the objects involved, it is also physical computing,
the Internet of Things, haptic computing,[4] and things
that think. Rather than propose a single definition for
ubiquitous computing and for these related terms, a
taxonomy of properties for ubiquitous computing has
been proposed, from which different kinds or flavors of
ubiquitous systems and applications can be
described.[5]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/mobileappsforeducationfinal-120606154759-phpapp01/75/Mobile-apps-for-education-final-19-2048.jpg)

nature[5]—by sharing knowledge, learning

leadership can be social within
a decentralized and egalitarian group.[6] In
particular, teams that work collaboratively
can obtain greater resources, recognition and
reward when facing competition for finite
resources.[7] Collaboration is also present in
opposing goals exhibiting the notion
of adversarial collaboration, though this is not
a common case for using the word.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/mobileappsforeducationfinal-120606154759-phpapp01/75/Mobile-apps-for-education-final-22-2048.jpg)
