Pervasive Computing - A Unified Comprehensive Approach to Build Smart Environment

Pervasive computing is an emerging trend associated with embedding microprocessors in day-to-day objects, allowing them to communicate information. It is also known as ubiquitous computing. The terms ubiquitous and pervasive signify "existing everywhere." Pervasive computing systems are totally connected and consistently available. Pervasive computing goes past the arena of desktops so that virtually any device, from apparel to kitchen appliances, could be embedded with microchips, connecting these devices to a boundless network of other gadgets. This book provides a complete guide to selected topics, both ongoing and emerging, in pervasive computing and networking. The main topics covered in the book include pervasive computing and systems, pervasive networking security, and pervasive computing applications.
