Abstract :
Summary form only given. Pervasive computing is a human-centric computational paradigm beyond desktop to achieve a convergence of the cyber, physical, and social world with smart devices, smart environments, and smart interactions. In pervasive computing environments, people will receive context-aware proactive services anytime and anywhere in a non-intrusive manner. Since Mark Weiser\´s vision of "the most profound technologies are those that disappear" was presented in 1991, many efforts have been made in the community to make pervasive computing a reality. This talk will provide a comprehensive overview of recent advances in this field. Trends and challenges will be reviewed, and potential applications of pervasive computing will be discussed. We will also give a brief introduction of our work.
