Evolution of Ubiquitous Computing with Sensor Networks in Urban Environments
Eiko Yoneki · 2005
A significant increase in real world event monitoring capability with wireless sensor networks will lead to a further evolution of ubiquitous computing. This paper describes this evolution, leading to humans being connected to the real world via computers without awareness. We address an ad hoc communication paradigm, a data-centric approach, and a middleware’s task, to understand the ultimate goal of this new world. We also briefly explain our upcoming new traffic monitoring project in the city of Cambridge.
