3. Trends in Computing

4. Ubiquitous (Pervasive) Computing • Era 1: Mainframes (past) • Central, “powerful” and expensive computer • Many users access a single computer from “dumb” terminals • Used for enterprise data processing • COBOL, Database, etc • Computer not easily accessible • IBM 360, IBM370, DEC, HP

5. Ubiquitous Computing (Cont…) • Era II: Personal computers (present) • “Powerful” and relatively inexpensive computers • At least one machine per user • Used for word processing, personal productivity applications, video, audio etc • Powerpoint, MS Word, Web browser etc.. • Computer still not that accessible

6.  Ubiquitous Computing (Cont…) • Era III: Post-PC (future) • Explosion in number and variety of computing devices • A number of devices/machines share one user • Devices (inexpensive) vary in complexity and function • Used to make “our lives better” • Computers become “invisible”

7. Key requirements for ubiquitous computing All the devices are network capable, though not necessarily connected all the time. The devices can communicate with each other. Thus a computer in your washer, microwave, car emission controller, laptop projector, etc are not ubiquitous devices unless you can connect and modify their behavior. Devices communicate to seamlessly simplify our lives

8.  Example Ubiquitous scenario • You want to setup an appointment to meet me. You walk up to me and make an appointment • Underlying processes: • Location: So that I can figure out your computer incarnation • Communication: So we can decide on how to talk to my appointment scheduler. We have to figure out the mechanisms (Bluetooth), protocols (XML over TCP) • Authentication: So that I can know who you are and let you see my “appropriate” calendar • Authorization: So that I can let you make an appointment • Consistency management: So that the appointment that I made is reflected “everywhere”

9. Another ubiquitous scenario • My flight gets delayed and so I can’t keep the appointment. Our appointment is converted to a telephone call, I automatically call you from the InFlight phone to a pay phone near you • Authentication • Authorization: so I can know where you are and entities around you • Location management: so I know how to contact you (Inflight phone and pay phone near you) • Socially appropriate: don’t route the lovers call to the spouses’ home phone!!

10. Course Organization • Fairly new and emerging area – no “right solution” • I encourage open discussion about the technologies that comprise ubiquitous computing • Papers will complement class lectures

11. Grading policy • Class participation 10% • Paper evaluation 10% • Midterm 30% • Homework 20% • Projects/Final oral exam 30%

12.  More Examples of Smart Objects • Class participation is very important. You will be graded on your involvement in class discussions. There are no “dumb” questions. You will only be penalized for “no” questions/comments • Over the course of the semester, you will read and critique several papers. You will discuss your criticisms during the class discussion. Critiquing other work is a good way to start thinking of a better solution

13.  Homework projects • During the first half of the semester, you will assigned a programming project that is due every two weeks. • Projects are individual efforts. • Each project should be electronically turned in with a succinct report on your implementation strategy and what you learned. • Projects should compile without any modifications • I will randomly select submissions for an one-on-one oral interview

14.  Course Project • Teams of 3 students. Start thinking about what you want to do w/ partners etc. • Individual grades influenced by the final oral examination and presentation. • We can talk about the project ideas • You will explore a substantial topic and show its validity with an implementation • At the end of the semester, there will be a mini-symposium where you will publically present your work. Best idea, implemenation, and presentation will be recognized.

15.  Reevaluation policy • Arithmetic errors, missed grading will be reevaluated. • I encourage you to discuss concerns with your solution with me • I discourage re-evaluation of partial credits: • Football penalty policy: If you think you deserve a better partial grade, write down the reason why you think that you deserve a better grade and how many extra points you think you deserve. If I agree, you could get upto this many extra points. If I disagree, you will lose this much points.

16. Academic Honesty • Freedom of information rule: • Collaboration is acceptable • To assure that all collaboration is on the level, you must always write the name(s) of your collaborators on your assignment. Failure to adequately acknowledge your contributors is at best a lapse of professional etiquette, and at worst it is plagiarism. Plagiarism is a form of cheating.
