Pervasive Computing

WHAT DOES PERVASIVE
(UBIQUITOUS) MEAN?
Spreading Widely Through; Present
Everywhere In Something
THEN WHAT DOES
PERVASIVE COMPUTING
MEAN?
“Pervasive Computing Share A Vision Of Small,
Inexpensive, Robust Networked Processing Devices,
Distributed At All Scales Throughout Everyday Life And
Generally Turned To Distinctly Common-place Ends”
For Example, A Domestic Pervasive Computing
Environment Might Interconnect Lighting And
Environmental Controls With Personal Biometric
Monitors Woven Into Clothing So That Illumination And
Heating Conditions In A Room Might Be Modulated,
Continuously And Imperceptibly.
Another Common Scenario Posits Refrigerators
"Aware" Of Their Suitably-tagged Contents, Able To
Both Plan A Variety Of Menus From The Food Actually
Introduction
Pervasive computing is the trend towards
increasingly ubiquitous connected computing
devices in the environment, a trend being
brought about by a convergence of advanced
electronic and particularly, technologies and the
Internet.
Pervasive computing devices are not personal
computers as we tend to think of them, but very
tiny even invisible devices, either mobile or
embedded in almost any type of object
imaginable, including cars, tools, appliances,
clothing and various consumer goods, all
communicating through increasingly
interconnected networks.
Is There A Difference Between
Traditional & Pervasive Computing?
The difference lies in how they connect.
These connections are fundamentally unlike
those we associate with networks. Rather than
using the network to connect computers that
are being used directly by people, these
appliances communicate over networks such
that people do not directly monitor the
communication between machines and
programs. The majority of these
communications will occur in an end-to-end
structure that does not include a human at any
point.
Unlike Traditional Desktop Computers and existing
networks, the new devices will have the following
characteristics:
§ Many will have small, inexpensive processors with
limited memory and little or no persistent storage
§ They will connect to other computing elements without
the direct intervention of users.
§
§ Often, they will be connected by wireless networks.
§
§ They will change rapidly, sometimes by being mobile,
sometimes by going on and offline at widely varying
rates. Over time, they will be replaced or fail far
more rapidly than is now common.
§
§ They will be used as a source of information, often
sending that information into the centre of the
network to which they are attached.
How Do They Connect With
Each Other?
They Connect Using
Internet Networks
Wi-Fi
LAN
VAN
Bluetooth
Mobile Networks
GPS

Advantages Of Pervasive Computing
Higher & Simpler Technology
The Sixth Sense, ect,.
Improved Life Style
The Way People Live Will Change
Improved Performance
Highly Effective
Work Is Completed Much Faster And Thus More Work Done
Highly Efficient
Minimum Utilization Of Resources
Advantages Of Pervasive Computing
Higher Profitability @ Much Lower & Affordable
Cost
High ROI

…
Applications Of Pervasive computing:
Vehicles
Mobile Phones
Handhelds
Household Appliances
Smart Machines
Wearable Computers
…
But It Does Not End Here !
Because, every coin has 2 sides, not 1
Limitations
Where There Is Scope For Infinite Possibilities,
There Is Also Scope For Errors And Failures.
The Possible Risks Associated Are
Error In The Device
Failure
Security & Privacy
More Undefined & Unknown Loop-holes
Conclusion
We are heading toward a reality that plays like
a scene from Star Trek. Pervasive computing
provides an attractive vision for the future of
computing.
Well, we no longer will be sitting down in front
of a PC to get access to information, instead
we use wireless media to access those
things.
As a machine its work is to fulfil the Man's
need, but Pervasive Computing technology
not only fulfils needs, but exceeds/surpasses
expectations.
