Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing

Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing researchers come from diverse core areas and are working on various aspects of developing computing infrastructure that are intuitive to use in everyday scenarios irrespective of where and how they are invoked. Specifically, various faculty members are working on 1) developing intuitive interfaces and pervasive media processing to support sensor data management; 2) developing multimedia software to help blind people to easily search text in library; 3) developing biomedical sensor-based middleware for pervasive health monitoring; 4) developing mobility-tolerant and mobility-aware protocols for seamlessly integrating mobile devices into the wired infrastructure; 5) developing light weight security solutions for pervasive commercial applications. These research works are being conducted in various labs (IMPACT, SNAC) and centers (CuBiC) under various interdisciplinary projects funded by various sources such as NSF, Intel Corporation, and MediServe Corporation. For more information on these projects, visit individual faculty member’s Web page.
