  1. Pervasive Computing Review Joshua R. Smith, Class of 2006 Interdisciplinary Engineering and Management Mentor: Dr. Sunil Kumar July 31, 2003

  2. Definitions and Rationale • What is pervasive computing? • Computer of today vs. pervasive computing • Interest in automation and simplification

  3. Topics • Brief history • Applications • Infrastructure Systems • Personal Systems • Critical technologies • Adoption Hesitation • Conclusions

  4. History • Roots in late 1980s at Xerox PARC • Merger of two research projects • Intuitive input/output device • How computers impact people • Weiser 1991 Scientific American article

  5. Topics • Brief history • Applications • Infrastructure Systems • Personal Systems • Critical technologies • Adoption Hesitation • Conclusions

  6. Applications: Infrastructure Systems • Classroom 2000 • Enhance education by recording lecture (shift attention from notes to speaker) • Rapid development strategy

  7. Classroom 2000: Original Prototype Setup

  8. Applications: Infrastructure Systems • Classroom 2000 • Enhance education by recording lecture (shift attention from notes to speaker) • Rapid development strategy

  9. Applications: Personal Systems • Inspection / Maintenance • BIW, Maine 80:1 return over 3 years (70% reduction in inspection times)
