What’s in this Room?
• Anything electronic which processes information
Typically we find
‣ Mobile Phones
‣ PDAs
‣ Laptop computers
‣ Games consoles (hopefully turned off...)
‣ Mp3 players
• Any other info processing devices?

What Else is Here?
• Passive information storage
‣ Bank cards with chip-&-pin
‣ Products with RFID tag
• Anyone got a device inside?
‣ Pacemaker
‣ Diabetic insulin release

Energy Processing
• Humans used own energy
‣ Helped by animals
‣ and devices
• Industrial revolution
‣ Energy was harnessed or generated (e.g. steam engines)
‣ Expanding human physical power

Energy Processing (2)
• Energy decentralised
‣ Power stations
‣ National Grid – distributed power
‣ Individual engines – mobility
• Energy made pervasive
‣ Application-driven devices
‣ Battery power
‣ Miniaturisation

Information Processing (3)
• Devices which do NOT look like computers, but :
‣ Process data
‣ Store information
‣ Connect to: other devices and/or the Internet
• Pervasive Computing
‣ Focus on the application
‣ Often portable, low-power, always connected

Computing Eras
• Mainframe
‣ Many people, one computer
‣ Fixed, central location
• PC
‣ One person, one computer
‣ Fixed location, decentralised
• Pervasive (Ubiquitous)
‣ One person, many computers
‣ The same computer is used by many users

The Father of Pervasive Computing
• 1990s: Mark Weiser (Xerox PARC)
• First to talk about Ubiquitous Computing
• Weiser’s principles (source Wikipedia)
‣ The purpose of a computer is to help you do something else
‣ The best computer is a quiet, invisible servant
‣ The more you can do by intuition the smarter you are
‣ Technology should create calm
• Please read “The Computer for the 21st Century” (1991)

Principles of Pervasive Computing
• Decentralisation
‣ Mainframe → PDAs and Embedded Computers
‣ Distributed, Peer-2-Peer, Mobile, Small, Powerful
• Diversification
‣ Universal → (Task) specific devices
‣ Huge number of new ‘Clients’
• Connectivity
‣ Data exchanged between (always-on) devices
‣ Wireless connection / internet
• Simplicity
‣ Seamless interfaces, intuitive, “calm”

“The most profound technologies are those that disappear. They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are
indistinguishable from it.” [Mark Weiser: 1952-99]
