普适计算综述

1 引言普适计算(Pervasive Computing)概念最早源自Xerox PARC(Palo Alto Research Center)计算机科学实验室首席科学家Mark Weiser在1988年提出的“Ubiquitous Computing(缩写为Ubicomp或UC)”思想,现在文献中又常以“Pervasive Computing”出现。其基本思想是为用户提供服务的普适计算技术将从用户意识中彻底消失,即用户和周围环境(无数大大小小的计算设备)在潜意识上进行交互,用户不会有意识地弄

A Survey of Pervasive Computing

Pervasive computing has being now considered and noticed universally, which is the 21st century compute mode. This article first analyzes the origins of generating Mark Weiser's pervasive computing idea and the thrusts of researching it in the process of computing development. It then simply describes the pervasive computing projects of scientific research organizations of main developed countries, such as enterprise and universities, to realize Mark Weiser's idea. Next, it sketches a Layered Pervasive Computing (LPC) model and its related terms. Finally, the article closes with a discussion of great influence of pervasive computing technologies, and makes prospects of human being living environments such as economic, daily life, work, etc. , according to the current development of computer hardware and software technologies and the evolvement of researching pervasive computing.
