Pervasive Computing and Communications Design and Deployment: Technologies, Trends and Applications (Premier Reference Source) Apostolos Malatras 1:a utgåva

Pervasive computing environments based on the ubiquitous communications paradigm have attracted significant research interest and have found increased applicability in commercial settings, attributed to the fact that they provide seamless, customized, and unobtrusive services to their users. Research on pervasive and ubiquitous computing has been prolific over the past years, leading to a large number of corresponding diverse software and hardware infrastructures, networking solutions, methodologies, and frameworks.

Pervasive Computing and Communications Design and Deployment: Technologies, Trends, and Applications has a broad scope since it is intended to provide an overview on the general and interdisciplinary topic of pervasive computing and communications. Particular aspects studied in this book include enabling factors, key characteristics, future trends, user adoption, privacy issues and impact of pervasive computing on Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and its associated social aspects. The book is intended to serve as a reference for computer science practitioners, students and researchers, covering design principles and relevant implementation techniques and technologies regarding pervasive computing.
