Ubiquitous Computing Initiative
Ubiquitous Computing is often considered as third era of computing after desktop computing and mobile computing in the recent past. Ubiquitous Computing is the trend towards increasingly Ubiquitous (another name for anytime, anywhere) connected computing devices in the environment, a trend being brought about by a convergence of advanced electronics and particularly, wireless technologies and the Internet. This is achieved by the drop in cost of hardware equipments, the miniaturization of the same, development of sensors, proliferation of low power devices, web services, semantic web and ideas such as wearable computing. Ubiquitous computing is thus integration of Distributed Systems, Mobile Networking, and Embedded Smart devices and much more. Some of the applications of Ubiquitous computing, which basically drive research in this area, are Healthcare, Business, Emergency response, Farmland & other agricultural activities, Irrigation, service provisioning, information management, and for enhanced comfort in day to day life.
