The Implications of Pervasive Computing on Network Design

  • Chapter
Intelligent Spaces

Part of the book series: Computer Communications and Networks ((CCN))

Abstract

Mark Weiser’s late-1980s vision of an age of calm technology with pervasive computing disappearing into the fabric of the world [1] has been tempered by an industry-driven vision with more of a feel of conspicuous consumption. In the modified version, everyone carries around consumer electronics to provide natural, seamless interactions both with other people and with the information world, particularly for eCommerce, but still through a pervasive computing fabric.
