IGESSIGESS (Institute for Global Economics and Social Sciences)

This course covers ubiquitous computers, devices, networks, applications and key technologies in ubiquitous systems and services.

This course attempts to provide a unified overview of the broad field of ubiquitous computing. Students are expected to understand ubiquitous devices, networks and systems, as well as key technologies including context-awareness, smart u-things, IoT, security, privacy, etc.

英語 / English

This course will first give general introductions of ubiquitous computing, essential devices, important networks and representative services, and then check various ubiquitous devices including RFID, e-tag, sensors, handhelds, wearable devices, robots, etc. as well as their typical applications. The context as a special kind of information in ubiquitous computing will be described in details and related context-aware computing technologies, systems and application will be presented. Various key issues in ubiquitous computing smartness, intelligence, security, safety, trust and related social issues will be discussed. Students are encouraged to ask questions in class and via email after class. All questions will be answered and feedback promptly in class or after class.
