– Pervasive= “present or noticeable in every part of a
thing or place”
Characteristics
✓ Invisible: tiny, embedded, attachable…
✓ Every where: wireless, dynamically configurable,
remote access, adapting, …
“It is about making computers so embedded, so fitting,
so natural that we use them without even thinking
about them.”
16
 Pervasive computing Example
• The automatic adjustment of heating,
cooling and lighting levels in a room based
on an occupant’s profile.
• Refrigerators "aware" of their suitably
tagged contents, able to both plan a variety
of menus from the food actually on hand,
and warn users of stale or spoiled food.

17
 Pervasive computing

 Mobile computing issues &
Challenges
• Location issues
• Connection Quality
• Device limitations
• Active transaction
• Security risks
• Wide variety terminals and devices with
different capabilities

73
 Challenges
• Location
– Device location is always changing
– Mobility: challenges and opportunities
– Localization & Location sensitivity
– Routing data and messages

74
 Location…
• Localization is the ability of the architecture of
the mobile application to accommodate logic
that allows the selection of different business
logic, level of work flow, and interfaces based
on a given set of location information
commonly referred to as locales.
• E.g Location in Ethiopia currency ETB ,
TAX… e-commerce Web sites are able to take
into account the different taxation rules
depending on the locale of the sale and the
location of the purchase

75
 Location…
• Location sensitivity is the ability of the
device and the software application to first
obtain location information while being
used and then to take advantage of this
location information in offering features
and functionality.

76
 Collecting location
• Methods for collecting location
– Prompt the user to select the location
– Using the device( GPS, signal strength and
triangulation can be used to come up with some
approximate location information, depending on
the cellular network)
• Techniques
– Triangulation
– Proximity
– Scene analysis

77
 Triangulation: Lateration
Calculation of position information based
on distance measurements
• 2D position requires three distance measurements
• 3D position requires four distance measurements

 Proximity
Detecting an object when it is near a known
location through observed changes at that
location
• Physical contact: pressure sensors, capacitance field
detector, Smart Floor
• Monitoring access point = ‘in-range’ proximity, Active
Badge
• Automatic ID Systems: RFID badges, UPC scanning,
phone & computer logs. Location of scanner, badge,
computer, phone, identifies location of object
 Scene analysis
• The scene analysis location sensing technique
uses features of a scene observed from a
particular vantage point to draw conclusions
about the location of the observer or of
objects in the scene. E.g. using camera

80
Location-Based Applications (LBAs)
• Examples: Location-based
recommendations, geo-tagging
GeoLife: shopping list when near a grocery store
TrafficSense: real-time traffic conditions
Fieldworker assistant
• Location expresses context of user
– Facilitates content delivery

82
83
 Connection ….
• Quality of Service
– Wireless connection is used usually
– Mobility means loss of network connectivity
reliability
– Frequent Disconnection
– Variable Bandwidth( indoor , outdoor)
– Heterogeneous Networks (2G,3G, Satellite, wi-fi..

84
 Frequent Disconnections
• Handoff blank out (>1ms for most cellular's)
• Drained battery disconnection
• Voluntary disconnection (turned off to
preserve battery power, also off overnight)
• Theft and damage (hostile environment)
• Roam-off disconnections

85
 Connection….
• Address Migration
– Existing applications send packets to a fixed
network address
– Need to support dynamically changing “local”
addresses as mobile device moves through
network Mobile IP
• Apps should stop & resume must know how
to deal with lack of reliable connectivity.
– E.g user traveling in a train and downloading
report using his PDA while passing through a
tunnel

86
 Solution variable Bandwidth
» Caching is a good idea, e.g., web cache
– Asynchronous/spool-oriented applications, like
mail or printing
» Trickle back data when bandwidth is available
– Disconnected file systems:
• Applications adaptation to changing quality of
connectivity
» High bandwidth, low latency: business as usual
» High bandwidth, high latency: aggressive pre
fetching
» Low bandwidth, high latency: asynchronous
• Vertical handoff in case of heterogeneous network

87
 Device limitation
• Device limitation
– Power
– Storage
– CPU
– User interface

88
 Device limitation …
• Mobile device are small!
– Physical limitation
Display,
Memory,
CPU,
Power… limitations
– The heaviest part of mobile devices are
batteries

89
 Mobile Computers
• CPUs
– Multiple cores
– Mega Hertz. 1 Giga Hertz new
• RAM
– 512 MB, common in 2011
– in Giga Bytes new
• Persistent Storage
– 32 GB MicroSD common in 2011
90
 Limitations of the Mobile
Computer
• Short battery lifetime (max ~ 12 hours)
• Subject to theft and destruction => unreliable
• Highly unavailable (normally powered-off to
conserve battery)
• Limited capability (display, memory, input
devices, and disk space)
• Lack of de-facto general architecture: hand-helds,
communicators, laptops, and other devices
91
 Device limitation …
• Varying user interface
– some alternative interfaces are voice user
interfaces, smaller displays, stylus and other
pointing devices, touch-screen displays, and
miniature keyboards
– For example, drivers who want to get some
directions to their destination may use a data-
enabled cellular phone.
– Most apps must be multichannel /multimodal

92
 Active transaction
• Active transaction
– Most stationary applications, passive systems
because they are in a passive state, waiting for
some external signal from the user to tell them
to start doing some particular thing..
– Then comes message based system any one
participant in the system could send a message
to another participant in the system. and, if
desired, in an asynchronous manner.

93
 Active transaction..
• Later came the idea of push. In the push model of
communication, an information producer
announces the availability of certain types of
information, an interested consumer subscribes to
this information, and the producer periodically
publishes the information (pushes it to the
consumer).
• There is much in common between the concepts of
messaging systems and push systems. The principle
difference is that messaging systems are
asynchronous by definition. This requirement does
not exist for push based systems. Push systems,
by definition, are active systems.

94
 Active transaction…
• We will define active transactions as those
transactions initiated by the system.
• Active transactions may be synchronous or
asynchronous.
• Synchronous transactions are time
dependent transactions.

95
