Course content
Mark Weiser, known as "the father of Ubiquitous Computing", predicted the computing environment for the 21st century where computers are always connected to the network. As he asserts, however, there is one more important concept for Ubiquitous Computing called "Invisible Computing". The main purpose of this class is to comprehend how this concept has been realized with state-of-the-art technologies from the viewpoint of informatics.
Purpose of class
This class aims at surveying the research on Ubiquitous Computing System in terms of "invisible computing" and comprehending how each system is put into practice with information and communication technologies.
Goals and objectives
  1. To understand the concept and technologies of Ubiquitous Computing System
  2. To understand how to develop Ubiquitous Computing System
  3. To understand the relation between Ubiquitous Computing and Mobile Computing
