Ubiquitous computing technologies including mobile
computing, sensor-based systems and context-aware systems which
can adapt to their users' preferences and current situation are
becoming prevalent in our daily lives. Mobile computing systems
based on wireless communications which offer personalised services
are common and familiar to large sections of society. Sensor-based
and context-aware systems have the potential to spread to all
areas of daily life ranging from transportation to healthcare and
from environmental monitoring to education and entertainment.
Additionally, smart spaces such as smart homes and
smart offices have the potential to support lifelong
learning outside the traditional classroom.
Development of ubiquitous computing applications to
address these needs represents an increasingly important and
valuable research and development domain. This teaches students
the fundamental skills and knowledge in the area through the use
of case studies and other methods. Emphasis will be placed on
examining real-world scenarios where ubiquitous computing is
deployed.
