Pervasive Computing
by Natalia Silvis-CividjianThis book provides a concise introduction to Pervasive Computing, otherwise known as Internet of Things (IoT) and Ubiquitous Computing (Ubicomp) which addresses the seamless integration of computing systems within everyday objects. By introducing the core topics and exploring assistive pervasive systems which infer their context through pattern recognition, the author provides readers with a gentle yet robust foundation of knowledge to this growing field of research. The author explores a range of topics including data acquisition, signal processing, control theory, machine learning and system engineering explaining, with the use of simple mathematical concepts, the core principles underlying pervasive computing systems. Real-life examples are applied throughout, including self-driving cars, automatic insulin pumps, smart homes, and social robotic companions, with each chapter accompanied by a set of exercises for the reader. Practical tutorials are also available to guide enthusiastic readers through the process of building a smart system using cameras, microphones and robotic kits. Due to the power of MATLAB(tm), this can be achieved with no previous programming or robotics experience. Although Pervasive Computing is primarily for undergraduate students, the book is accessible to a wider audience of researchers and designers who are interested in exploring pervasive computing further.

The book's subject matter includes: transmission techniques; signal processing; radio channel modelling and measurement; radio network issues; and recent paradigms including ultra-wideband, cooperative, vehicle-to-vehicle and body communications. The research reported comes from a variety of backgrounds: academic, equipment-manufacturing and operational and the information contained in this book will bring the study reported to a wider audience from all those spheres of work. Pervasive Mobile and Ambient Wireless Communications will be of interest to researchers for its cutting-edge analysis and to practitioners for its functional usability.
Pervasive Social Computing
by Muhammad Ashad Kabir Jun Han Alan ColmanThis book presents a review of traditional context-aware computing research, identifies itslimitations in developing social context-aware pervasive systems, andintroduces a new technology framework to address these limitations. Thus, thisbook provides a good reference for developments in context-aware computing andpervasive social computing. It examines the emerging area of pervasive social computing, which is a novel collective paradigm derived from pervasive computing, social media, social networking, social signal processing and multimodal human-computer interaction. This book offers a novel approach tomodel, represent, reason about and manage different types of social context. Itshows how users' social context information can be acquired from differentonline social networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Google Calendar. It further presents the use of social context information in developinginnovative smart mobile applications to assist users in their daily life. Themix of both theoretical and applied research results makes this book attractiveto a variety of readers from both academia and industry. This book provides a new platform forimplementing different types of socially-aware mobile applications. Theplatform hides the complexity of managing social context, and thus providesessential support to application developers for the development ofsocially-aware applications. The book contains detailed descriptions of how theunderlying platform has been implemented using available technologies such asontology and rule engines, and how this platform can be used to develop socially-aware mobile applications using two exemplar applications. The bookalso presents evaluations of the proposed platform and applications using real-worlddata from Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. Therefore, this book is a syndicationof scientific research with practical industrial applications, making it usefulto researchers as well as to software engineers.
