Surfing the Next Wave: Design and Implementation Challenges of Ubiquitous Computing

Abstract

As computing becomes more mobile and pervasive, designing and implementing ubiquitous computing environments emerge as key challenges for information systems research and practice. The four short papers in this article report the highlights of the second Ubiquitous Computing Workshop at Case Western Reserve University in October 2003. The objectives of the papers are to set up a research agenda in this emerging interdisciplinary field, to share current levels of understanding of leading edge research topics, and to create cumulative research streams in this field.
