Focus
Interaction in Ubiquitous Computing
Ubiquitous -or Pervasive- Computing (UC) is an
emerging computing methodology resulting from the
constant miniaturization of electronic components
(e.g. sensors, displays, computing units, tags,..) and
from the massive development of communication
networks, especially wireless technologies.
This technological evolution brings on a new
applicative horizon like mobile computing, wearable
computing, or smart environments, in which computer
facilities and artificial intelligence may be thought as
embedded in everyday objects and environments.

Focus
Interaction in Ubiquitous Computing
Regarding the design of human-machine interaction,
UC calls for specific and new approaches, namely for
coping with numerous and heterogeneous
equipments, sensitivity to the environment and users
(context-awareness), intelligent and autonomous
components, aso.
