Ubiquitous and Pervasive Computing-Concepts, Methodologies,Tools, and Applications

Why is this an important question? What will be gained if we know the answer to this question? Currently, many aspects of ubiquitous computing are the domain of enthusiasts. Enthusiasts push the development forward in pockets. However, for true transformation, a broader approach is needed. If we can understand what is driving forward the development of ubiquitous applications in one vertical sector, then perhaps we can work out ways to encourage development in other sectors. To understand the aspects of technology better, let’s look at the Technology Adoption Lifecycle (Figure 1).
