Era 0 – Human Computer (~ ? – 1960)
Era 1 – Mainframes (~1960-1980)
Era 2 – Personal Computer (~1980-1990)
History of Computing
5
Osborne 1 (1981)
Era 2.5 – Mobile Computing
(~1980 – ...)
Wearable Computing
•
Wearable computer worn directly at the body
– Example: Smart Textiles – Textiles with integrated electronics
6
Implantable Computing - Cyborgs
•
Implanted computers
•
Example: injection of glass containers with RFID antenna
Ubiquitous Computing
M. Weiser: The Computer for the 21st Century
Scientific American, September 1991, Volume 265, Number 3 (Special Issue: Communications, Computers, and Networks)
„Ubiquitous Computing enhances computer use by making computers available throughout the physical environment, while making them
effectively invisible for the human user.“ (Mark Weiser, 1988)
Ubiquitousness
• Example: Electromotors
Pervasive Computing
Uwe Hansmann, Lothar Merk, Martin S. Nicklous und Thomas Stober
Pervasive Computing. The Mobile World.
2nd Ed. Springer 2003, Berlin Heidelberg New York
„… a billion people interacting with a million e-businesses with a trillion intelligent devices
interconnected …”
Lou Gerstner, CEO IBM (1995)
engl. pervasive - existing in or spreading through every part of something
Often synonymously used for Ubiquitous Computing and „Internet of Things (MIT MediaLabs)
„Everyware“ (Adam Greenfield / Nokia) „Disappearing Computing“ (EU)
Pervasiveness
• Example: Electronic Billboards
Embedded Computing
•
Computer with dedicated function
•
Limiting constraints
– Low cost, reduced space, low energy consumption, low memory
– Usually no hard disk, keyboard or mice, etc.
•
Dedicated architectures
– Special CPUs (microcontroller, DSP) – Special operating systems (e.g., only
firmware)
•
Example use cases:
– Vehicle control (airbag, ESP, etc.) – Household devices (Internet-TV) – Healthcare Equipment
Computers really everywhere? – Social Implications?

Context
G. D. Abowd, A.K. Dey, P. J. Brown, N. Davies, M. Smith, & P. Steggles
Towards a Better Understanding of Context and Context-Awareness.
In Proceedings of the 1st international Symposium on Handheld and Ubiquitous Computing (Karlsruhe, Germany, September 27 - 29, 1999).
“Context is any information that can be used to characterize the situation of an entity. An entity is a person, place, or object that is considered relevant to the interaction between a user and an application, including the user and applications themselves.”
Abowd et al. (1999) Represen-tation Represen-tation Description Key-Value Markup Scheme Graphical Ontology Object Oriented Logical … Context Context Interpretation Place, Identity Activity, Tasks Intentions, Emotions … Luminance, Pressure, Humidity, Position, Time, Date,
Proximity … Entity Entity Data Data Sensor Camera, Microphone, Accelerometer, GPS, Thermometer, Biosensors … 18
Context-Awareness
Pileus (Ubicomp 2006) Umbrella Photo Browser
(Flickr Image Database, Computer in the Grip, browsing with accelerometer sensor)
Ambient Umbrella (Ambient Devices) Radio Access to weather forecast.
Context-Awareness
•
Automobiles
– A car can sense many more relevant data in order to optimize the usage: road conditions, other traffic, state of vehicle parts, even driver intentions ... – Services aid driver decisions: warning lamps, navigation system, etc.
– Services replace driver decisions: ESP, ABS, and many more
20 Mercedes Attention Assist: warns to driver, if he gets too tired for driving
