Abstract

Pervasive computing promises to make life simpler via digital environments that sense, adapt, and respond to human needs.Yet we still view computers as machines that run programs in a virtual environment. Pervasive computing presumes a different vision.A device can be a portal into an application-data space, not just a repository ofcustom software a user must manage.An application is a means by which a user performs a task, not software written to exploit a device's capabilities.And a computing environment is an information-enhanced physical space, not a virtual environment that exists to store and run software.
