Opis

Having moved from the age of the mainframe to that of personal computing, we are now entering what some refer to as the third wave, ubiquitous computing, the era when computing moves from front and center to become more subtly integrated into our lives. However, much of the information on this third wave is not clear at all.

Written by top experts from industry and academia, this book provides a comprehensive and well-organized overview of ubiquitous systems design and deployment. It covers everything from the application of quantitative methods to ubiquitous systems software and provides a clear vision of what our daily lives will look like in the age of ubiquitous computing.
