Designing Urban Pervasive Systems

A conceptual framework describes three aspects of designing and analyzing pervasive systems in an urban environment.

Key to this interdisciplinary integration is the concept of space, by which we mean not only physical location or volume but also the social protocols, conventions, and values attached to a particular space
