What is Sensing and Systems in Pervasive Computing: Engineering Context Aware Systems (Undergraduate Topics in Computer Science) about?

Pervasive Computing is an important area in current computer science research and industrial development. It relates to smart phones, sensors and other computing devices which, by being sensitive to the user, are disappearing into the background of life. The computing systems challenges are significant and it is here (rather than on life or social sciences, interaction design, electronics or formal approaches) that this book focuses. Success requires considering a broad range of issues, including: Low power and a wide range of different hardware; Personal and local area wireless networking and networks of smart sensors; Location sensing and handling located data; Adaptation to the environment, or context, in various ways; Data processing which considers state, events, time-varying signals and noise; Systems design for scalability and handling variation, beyond Internet scales. Sensing and Systems in Pervasive Computing brings together these issues in a practical form for the undergraduate or postgraduate -- describing the core ideas and providing programming exercises which explore these issues. Many of the programming exercises are described in terms of the Phidgets sensor interfa
