Pervasive Service Computing for Elderly applies service composition and pervasive computing into assisting elderly Activities of Daily Life. Taking advantages of context-awareness and service-oriented computing, Pervasive Service Computing expects to bring brilliant opportunities for pursuing global successful ageing. This paper proposes a Pervasive Service Computing for Elderly (PSC4E) framewo...

As portable devices have become a part of our everyday life, more people are unknowingly participating in a pervasive computing environment. People might engage in many computational devices simultaneously without even the awareness of their existence. The idea of pervasive computing is that almost every device we see today will be capable of communication and function in collaboration with one...

Ubiquitous computing refers to building a global computing environment where seamless and invisible access to computing resources is provided to the user. Pervasive computing deals with acquiring context knowledge from the environment and providing dynamic, proactive and context-aware services to the user. A Ubiquitous computing environment is created by sharing knowledge and information betwee...

Moving away from decades of machine-centric computing and making pervasive human-centric computing, the new wave of computing, a reality revolutionizes the relationship between humans and computing systems. There is a growing interest in the use of context-awareness as a technique for developing pervasive computing applications that are flexible, adaptable, and capable of acting autonomously on...

Pervasive computing is the next generation computing paradigm, which not only enables users to compute “everywhere, all the time”, but also distinguishes itself from mobile computing and distributed computing in terms of invisibility, heterogeneity, smartness and scalability. How to implement pervasive computing is a challenging task. In this paper, we propose to use the concepts of “ambient ne...
