Course Description: This course covers principles
and applications associated with the utilization of computing and sensing
devices in a distributed environment. Pervasive computing deals with
access to and processing of information using a variety of computing
platforms, communication technologies, and I/O modalities. Issues explored
may also include wide variability in available bandwidth, changing network
topologies, impact of limited power sources (batteries) for computation,
communications security, and data fusion.
