In a given environment, distributing different devices with computing capabilities around us opens up new possibilities. It allows simple and easy interaction between user and com...
Despite the progress made in Ubiquitous Computing since it was first envisaged back in 1987 [1], its use is still isolated to the research community. In this paper, we present why...
We describe a practical vision of ubiquitous computing with tangible interfaces, that orbits around an individual and is mediated by his or her personal consumer electronic device...
Ubiquitous computing has fueled the idea of constructing sentient, information-rich "smart spaces" that extend the boundaries of traditional computing to encompass physi...

We conducted a questionnaire-based study of the relative importance of two factors, inquirer and situation, in determining the preferred accuracy of personal information disclosed...
This paper describes design directions for ubiquitous computing to facilitate social interaction. The study focuses on elders coping with cognitive decline and their caregivers, b...
As mobile devices become location-aware, they offer the promise of powerful new applications. While computers work with physical locations like latitude and longitude, people thin...
