This document discusses pervasive computing, which refers to embedding microprocessors into everyday objects to make computing available anywhere. It defines pervasive computing, describes its architecture and principles, compares it to ubiquitous computing, and discusses related fields, applications, benefits, limitations, and future directions. Pervasive computing aims to spread intelligence and connectivity through mobile devices, sensors, and other embedded technologies. It will continue affecting more people as networking allows intelligent objects to communicate and share information.

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.

 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.

7. Architecture
 An important aspect of
the difference between
pervasive computing
and desktop
computing.

8. PRINCIPLES OF PERVASIVE
COMPUTING

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.
