Riassunto:

This book is a guide for the world of pervasive computing. It covers a variety of front-end devices and their opening systems as well as the back-end systems which have to integrate the pervasive components into a seamless IT world. A strong emphasis is placed on the underlying technologies and standards applied when building up pervasive solutions. These fundamental topics include commonly used terms such as XML, WAP, transcoding, and cryptography, to mention just a few. The book presents an overview of the different development strategies and tools for different pervasive platforms. In order to ease the planning and development of new solutions, concepts and considerations specific to a variety of different target environments, such as e-Business, private home, finance, and travel, are explained. Case studies of pervasive computing in upcoming real-life solutions are comprehensive

Dalla quarta di copertina: This book is a guide for the world of Pervasive Computing. It describes a new class of computing devices which are becoming omnipresent in everyday life. They make information access and processing easily available for everyone from anywhere at any time. Mobility, wireless connectivity, diversity, and ease-of-use are the magic keywords of Pervasive Computing. Devices include handheld computers, mobile phones, interactive television, smart cards, household appliances as well as intelligent automotive equipment. The book covers these front-end devices as well as their operating systems and the back-end infrastructure which integrate these pervasive components into a seamless IT world. A strong emphasis is placed on the underlying technologies and standards applied when building up pervasive solutions. These fundamental topics include commonly used terms such as XML, WAP, UMTS, GPRS, Bluetooth, Jini, transcoding, and cryptography, to mention just a few.
Besides a comprehensive state-of-the-art description of the Pervasive Computing technology itself, this book gives an overview of today's real-life applications and accompanying service offerings. M-Commerce, e-Business, networked home, travel, and finance are exciting examples of applied Pervasive Computing.
