What is Ubiquitous Computing

ubiquitous computing (also called Pervasive computing) is the growing trend towards embedding microprocessors in everyday objects so they can communicate information. The words ubiquitous mean "existing everywhere." Pervasive computing devices are completely connected and constantly available.

Goals of Ubiquitous Computing

•Invisible Technology•Simplifying works•Enabling Computing In class rooms and Home and Mobile and everywhere.

EP 1506

Ubicomp’s devices characteristics• In every where• Very tiny – even invisible-small • inexpensive • Light & strong technologies • robust networked processing devices either mobile or

embedded in almost any type of object such as cars, tools, appliances, clothing and various consumer good – all communicating through increasingly interconnected networks.

Internet of Things (IoT) With operating Systems The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the ever-

growing network of physical objects that feature an IP address for internet connectivity, and the communication that occurs between

these objects and other Internet-enabled devices and systems.

Advantages of Ubiquitous Computing

• Quick, efficient and effortless.• It supports a new class of intelligent and portable

appliances or “smart devices”.• It gives people convenient access to relevant information.• It removers the complexity of new Technologies
