>"Pervasive Computing" is the strongly emerging trend toward:
>     Numerous, casually accessible, often invisible computing devices
>     Mobile or embedded in the environment
>     Connected to an increasingly ubiquitous network structure
>
>Failing to see and act upon this trend may be very costly to U. S.
>Information Technology companies; just as it was for mainframe companies
>to
>ignore the emergence of personal computers; and for the PC companies to
>ignore the infant World Wide Web.
>
>The innovative firms which establish a critical mass relatively early in
>the generation life cycle are usually the ones with superior returns on
>investment.
>
>For computer users, the underlying premise is compelling: simplicity of
>use, ubiquitous access, minimal technical expertise, reliability and
>more
>intuitive interaction methods. Through intelligent use of technologies,
>Pervasive Computing presents an unusual opportunity to better serve
>human
>needs.
>
>TOPICS: Human-computer interaction, pico-cellular wireless, multimedia
>information access, service discovery, human-centered integration and
>interoperability, programming pervasive computing applications, and
>innovative pervasive computing devices
