Principles of Ubiquitous Computing Systems

This paper provides a concise summary of pervasive computing and also the challenges faced in computer systems research posed by the emerging field of pervasive computing. This papper probes the relationship of this new field to its predecessors distributed systems and mobile c functionality need to be held apart, so that they can graciously evolve in a global computing infrastructure. Second, the applications must be able to acquire any resource they need at any time, so that they ca their services in a highly dynamic environment. Third, pervasive computing requires a common system platform, which allows the applications to run across the range of devices and to be automatically distributed and installed. This paper also discusses about the growing debate over privacy, safety and environmental implications. Finally the paper closes with a discussion of the research necessary to develop these capabilitie
