VDict - Definition of ubiquitous computing

Computing (FOLDOC) dictionary

ubiquitous computing

Computers everywhere. Making many computers available

throughout the physical environment, while making them

effectively invisible to the user. Ubiquitous computing is

held by some to be the Third Wave of computing. The First

Wave was many people per computer, the Second Wave was one

person per computer. The Third Wave will be many computers

per person. Three key technical issues are: power

consumption, user interface, and wireless connectivity.

The idea of ubiquitous computing as invisible computation was

first articulated by Mark Weiser in 1988 at the Computer

Science Lab at Xerox PARC.
