  1. ISA5428: 普及計算Pervasive ComputingCourse Outline 金仲達教授 清華大學資訊系統與應用研究所 九十三學年度第一學期 (Slides are taken from the presentations by Prof. Friedemann Mattern of ETH Zurich)

  2. 普及計算 Ubiquitous Computing Pervasive Computing

  3. Size Number One computer for many people One computer for each person Many computers for each person Computing: The Trend

  4. As the Trend Goes .. Number Dust can compute and communicate! “Smart” Dust 請掃床底下，我們有三吋厚了！ Size

  5. and Communicating When Everything Smart .. Computing BecomesUbiquitous!

  6. Ubiquitous Computing • Environments saturated with computing and communication capability, yet gracefully integrated with human users - M. Satyanarayanan • People and environments augments with computational resources that provide information and services when and where desired - Mark Weiser • Computing and communicating everywhere and always

  7. Imagine … • What could happen when things are connected? And connected to the Internet?

  8. Requirements • Things must be smart … • small, cheap, mobile processors, with sensors, actuators, and networking • in almost all everyday objects,including on our body(“wearable computing”) • Real world objects areenriched with informationprocessing andcommunicationcapabilities

  9. Requirements • Things must be smart … Smart and smarter What makes it smart?

  10. Requirements (cont.) • Things are connected … • wireless, most probably to the Internet • to form a smart space/environment • and is linked to the cyberspace • access to virtual world, virtual counterpart, augmented reality

  11. But, What If All Things Were Smart?

  12. Consequences • Indistinguishable and more tightly integrated physical and virtual worlds • Scarcest resource: human attention

  13. Good Technology Is Invisible • “Invisible” stays out of the way of task • Like a good pencil stays out of the way of the writing • Like a good car stays out of the way of the driving • Bad technology draws attention to itself, not task • Like a broken, or skipping, or dull pencil • Like a car that needs a tune-up • Computers are mostly not invisible • They dominate interaction with them • Pervasive computing is about “invisible computers”

  14. Pervasive Computing Vision Mark Weiser (1952 –1999), XEROX PARC • “In the 21st century the technology revolution will move into the everyday, the small and the invisible…” • “The most profound technologiesare those that disappear.They weave themselves into thefabrics of everyday life until theyare indistinguishable from it.”e.g., motors

  15. Invisible/Disappearing Computing • Clam, non-intrusive, disappearing, proactive • Information processing moves to background • Human centered: concentrate on task, not tool • Computing as an invisible, ubiquitous, autonomic background assistance • Specialized, invisible computers will become an integral part of the nature human environment “Computing without computers” • Adaptive, self-healing, self-managing, ... • Natural human interfaces (speech, gesture) interact with real objects, not computers

  16. Course Administration • Instructor: Prof. Chung-Ta King • Office: EECS443 Telephone: 2804email: king@cs.nthu.edu.tw • Class hours: • Monday 15:20-17:10Thursday 14:10-15:00 • Classroom: EECS132 • Course page: http://www.cs.nthu.edu.tw/~king/courses/isa5428.html

  17. Expected Course Workload • Each student is expected to make two in-class presentations during the semester • Other students are expected to ask questions and actively participate in discussions • Homework assignments: • programming, surveys, essays • Term project • Grade breakdown • Class presentation and participation 35% • Homework assignments 25% • Term project 40%
