Objectives
The course deals with methodologies and techniques for design and application of pervasive/ubiquitous computing paradigms: ambient intelligence, context-awareness, human-centered computing, sentient computing, and others. Technologies, systems and frameworks for distributed support of these paradigms are studied and related to general models for parallel abd distributed computing. Several case studies are presented.
