Pervasive Computing

Abstract: Pervasive Computing environment gracefully integrates networked computing devices from tiny sensors to extremely dynamic and powerful devices � with people and their ambient environment. Service discovery is an essential element for pervasive computing to achieve �anytime, anywhere� computing without users� active attention to computing devices and network services. Privacy and security issues, however, have not been properly addressed. Therefore, devices and network services may be unprotected; personal privacy may be sacrificed; and devices and network services may be inconvenient to use. In this paper, we will present what is pervasive computing and its applications. In particular, I will focus on how pervasive computing provides various features like security, safety, convenience, telemetric etc. to a car.
