    Title: Ubiquitous Computing

    http://cis.k.hosei.ac.jp/~jianhua/course/ubi/

    Course Instructor: Jianhua Ma

    Objective: This course attempts to provide a unified overview of the broad field of ubiquitous computing. It covers ubiquitous computers, devices, networks, applications and key technologies in ubiquitous systems and services.

    Description: 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, 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.
