  1. Ubiquitous Computing andC-DAC's initiative Elitex-2008

  2. UbiComp: Habitat for Computers and Humans Dwelling with computers means that they have their place, and we ours, and we co-exist comfortably. Unfortunately, our existing metaphors for computers [are] inadequate to describe the 'dwelling' relationship. - Mark Weiser

  3. Colligation to UbiComp and Pervasive UbiComp Applications TECHNOLOGY DRIVEN CONCEPT DRIVEN Touch Screen, Displays, Keypads WSN, BTL, GPS, RFID AVR, ARM, TinyOS, Embedded Linux Smart Phones, Mobile Phones, Symbian, WinCE Bluetooth, WiFi, 802.15.4, IrDA, GSM, GPRS, CDMA

  4. Ubiquitous Computing: Impact • Huge impact on society: good & evil • Benefits from applications that make our life easier • Social issues in every single aspect

  5. Ubiquitous Computing: Challenges • Social Behavior • Ubiquitous computing challenges individuals to rethink their behavior • The Environment • Environmental issues of mass production/destruction of these devices and energy consumption • Privacy and Human Rights • Requires continuous monitoring of user actions

  6. Strategic Challenges for u-India • Constituents of e-India are at various stages of implementation(e-Governance, broadband connectivity, rural connectivity, e-commerce, e-Security, e-Learning, e-Health, i-Grid etc) • A Conceptual framework for u-India with time-frame, objectives and people’s expectations from ubiquitous networks and those of Industry need to be developed concurrently • Arriving at digital convergent environment & infrastructure integrating broadcasting, communications and Internet • Possibly adoption of open technology and inter-operable standards in ICT systems

  7. Strategic Challenges for u-India • Ubiquitous Computing Research Initiatives • Enabling technologies such as wireless sensor networks, RFID, ad-hoc networks, middleware, context-aware computing and human-computer interaction • Deeper insights into issues of ubiquitous information society • Needs of elders, trust & privacy, natural calamity forecast and management system • Building-up cooperation with countries implementing u-Information Society
