Pervasive Computing and Networking aim at providing ubiquitous,
ever-present, adaptable, smart, enveloping and immersive
environments in which computing components and humans can interact
regardless of the location. The combination of an abundance of
computational power of the processors and the communication
bandwidth provided by the wireless and mobile networking everywhere
and all the time makes such environments within the reach of
current technology. Yet, to realize the full potential of such
environments, many technical and economical challenges needs to be
overcome. These challenges and the perspective on the seminal
directions of the research in this area were the subject of the
Workshop for Pervasive Computing and Networking at Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, USA. This book presents chapters
based on presentations made at the workshop by leaders in the
field. The scope of Advances in Pervasive Computing and Networking
ranges from fundamental theory of pervasive computing and
networking to crucial challenges and emerging applications.
Such seminal topics as a scalable, self-organizing technology
for sensor networks, the fundamental relationship between the
achievable capacity and delay in mobile wireless networks, the role
of self-optimization in sensor networks or similarities and
differences between computer networks and their biological
counterparts are the subject of the first group of chapters.
The next group of chapters covers communication issues, such as
cooperative communication in mobile, wireless and sensor networks,
methods for maximizing aggregate throughput in 802.11 mesh networks
with a physical carrier, and self-configuring location discovery
systems for smart environments. The book closes with chapters
focusing on sensor network emerging applications such as smart and
safe buildings, a design for a distributed transmitter for
reachback based on radar signals sensing and two-radio
multi-channel clustering.
