Ubiquitous Computing Environment: literature review

Abstract

During the fast improvement of computing technology worldwide, the new intelligent concept of Ubiquitous Computing (Ubicomp) has appeared as a promising field that cover different areas such as sensors network, artificial intelligence and computer science. Ubicomp is a way to improve the quality of users life by making many computers available and effectively invisible to the user throughout the physical environment. There have been number of studies, research developments and technologies that have emerged in Ubicomp such as the components and fundamental properties of Ubicomp system, context aware systems, wearable systems, Internet of Things technology(IoT) and Things That Think(TTT). However, there is still a lack of understanding of Ubicomp environments and the comprehensive studies in this part are limited. Therefore, this paper aims to show understanding literature review that classify the Ubicomp environments into Pervasive computing, Context-aware system, Internet of things (IoT), Wearable system and Things that think (TTT).
