| Summary |
"Pervasive Computing describes a new class of mobile computing devices which are becoming omnipresent in everyday life. Handhelds, phones and manifold embedded systems make information access easily available for everyone from anywhere at any time. But Pervasive Computing is far more than just fancy devices: A powerful wireless communication infrastructure extends the reach of enterprise networks to mobile clients. Web services and portal servers offer flexible gateways to the back-end server systems and their data. And finally, a variety of new mobile solutions, and services take advantage of the possibilities and feature mobility, connectivity, and ease-of-use."--BOOK JACKET |
