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.
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.
- To understand the concept and technologies of Ubiquitous Computing System
- To understand how to develop Ubiquitous Computing System
- To understand the relation between Ubiquitous Computing and Mobile Computing

<Note>
Students are marked absent from the class if they are late regardless of the delay time.
If students are absent from more than one third of the total number of classes, the credit of this course cannot be given to them.
Even though students are absent from the class whatever the reason, e.g. sickness, delay of public transportation systems, forgetting to bring the student ID card, it is counted as absence.
