Abowd, Georgia Institute of Technology First introduced two decades ago, the term ubiquitous computing is now part of the public vernacular. While this growth is positive, the latest generation of practitioners and researchers ubicomp, isolated to specific tasks, are in danger of losing their sense of history and a broader perspective that has been so important to the field? Creativity and brilliance. Under the guidance of John Krumm, a pioneer of the original ubicomp, Ubiquitous Computing Fundamentals Trailblazers unite eleven ubiquitous computing in which every statement in his area of expertise. Taking a clear perspective of the human, this book includes a discussion of how to observe people in their natural environment and evaluate the critical points where computing technology everywhere canimprove their lives. Among the various topics this book discusses: How to build the infrastructure that supports applications in ubiquitous computing Protection of privacy in a system that connects personal devices and personal information Moving from the graphical user interface in ubiquitous computing Techniques that revolutionized the way we determine the location of a person? And understand other sensor measurements While we needn? T to be experts in every discipline-sub ubicomp, it is necessary that we appreciate all the perspectives that make up the field and understand how our work can influence and be influenced by their perspective.
