About this Item

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is one of the early efforts in building areal-life Intelligent Environment. The author dreamsthat one day not only smart devices could communicatewith each other but also smart houses throughContext-Aware Computing (CAC) approach. CAC is a newapproach in software engineering for IntelligentEnvironment. It is an approach in the design andconstruction of a context-aware application thatexploits rapid changes in access to relevantinformation and the availability of communication andcomputing resources in the mobile computingenvironment. The goal of CAC is to make interactionbetween users and computers easier in a smartenvironment, where technology is spread throughout(pervasive), computers are everywhere at the sametime (ubiquitous) and technology is embedded(ambient) to the environment. Context-awareapplications need not be difficult, tedious orrequire the acquisition of new skills on the userpart. They should be safe, easy, simple to use andshould enable new functionality without the need tolearn new technology. This book also proposes theevaluation of context-aware application to determinewhat to test, how to test and the appropriate metricsto use.

Synopsis

This book is one of the early efforts in building a real-life Intelligent Environment. The author dreams that one day not only smart devices could communicate with each other but also smart houses through Context-Aware Computing (CAC) approach. CAC is a new approach in software engineering for Intelligent Environment. It is an approach in the design and construction of a context-aware application that exploits rapid changes in access to relevant information and the availability of communication and computing resources in the mobile computing environment. The goal of CAC is to make interaction between users and computers easier in a smart environment, where technology is spread throughout (pervasive), computers are everywhere at the same time (ubiquitous) and technology is embedded (ambient) to the environment. Context-aware applications need not be difficult, tedious or require the acquisition of new skills on the user part. They should be safe, easy, simple to use and should enable new functionality without the need to learn new technology. This book also proposes the evaluation of context-aware application to determine what to test, how to test and the appropriate metrics to use.
