Synopsis

The concept of pervasive and ubiquitous computing challenges our existing understanding of human-computer interaction, as it suggests a world in which computers become increasingly integrated into our daily lives. Emerging Pervasive and Ubiquitous Aspects of Information Systems: Cross-Disciplinary Advancements reviews pervasive and ubiquitous computing as it informs modern information systems. This publication provides an overview of emerging trends in context-aware computing, pervasive and smart environments, as well as research on applications of pervasive technologies in healthcare organizations, work environments, and educational settings.
