E Learning

Pervasive computing is an evolving environment for the next generation providing with Information & Communication Technology everywhere, for everyone, at all times. e-learning is a phenomenon which is catching up the fire fiercely not only in corporate training world but also in the different sections of society. Pervasive computing is still in the evolving stage and opens a great naïve market yet unexplored. This chapter studies the features of Pervasive Computing which can take e-learning to the greater heights opening a new horizon for its growth and development. It also tries to analyze the factors that can contribute to the success of e-learning not only in making it reach the corporate training world but also in the rural areas of the world making a dream of education to all a reality in the environment of Pervasive Computing. It also studies and tries to find out the scope of e-learning in the light of Pervasive Computing.

Improve Access

Pervasive computing technologies are providing opportunities and challenges for new musical practices and offering greater access to musical interactions for people at all levels of musical experience. In this chapter we review theoretical insights and practical experiences of taking advantage of these opportunities and meeting these challenges; we describe how to leverage ubiquitous technologies to support ubiquitous music; and we discuss ideas and techniques that can assist in ensuring that social music activities provide an appropriate variety of experiences and strategies to maximize socially positive and musically creative outcomes. Strategies include starting with what is known and available, enhancing human skills with computational automation, and increasing participation through simplification to improve access and promote cultures of open sharing. Three case studies illustrate how these ideas are put into practice, covering experiences from across the world based in varied social contexts and using differing technologies, but sharing the same ambition of enhancing everyday experience through musical interactions mediated by pervasive technologies.

The Future

The world of work is changing, driven partly by such forces as globalization, changed workforce demographics, increased work intensity and pervasive computing. These changes in turn have implications for manual materials handling systems and how they will affect the workforce in the future. This paper argues that most of the changes imply more diversity of both jobs and of those performing the jobs. Increased diversity means that task demands are more likely to exceed human capabilities, so that ergonomics will be needed more in the future. Strategies for responding to the changes at the levels of the profession and the enterprise ergonomics function are presented.

Information And Communication

There is a growing concern both publicly and professionally surrounding the implementation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and their social and ethical impact. As these technologies become increasingly pervasive and less visible to the user, there is a greater need for professionals to address the concerns in order to regain public trust and maximise the benefits that these technologies can bring. This chapter explores the ethical aspects of the world of pervasive computing and shows the need for an ethical perspective when considering the design and implementation of complex, integrated, multiple systems. We present the background to ethics and technology to give the foundation for our discussion, and refer to current research and ethical principles to provide the argument for ethical consideration. Finally, codes of professional conduct provide the standards, and endorsement, for professional responsibility.

Fixed Line

Communication technologies are currently addressing our daily lives. Internet, fixed-line networks, wireless networks, and sensor technologies are converging, and seamless communication is expected to become widely available. Meanwhile, the miniaturization of devices and the rapid proliferation of handheld devices have paved the path towards pervasive computing and ubiquitous scenarios. The term ubiquitous and pervasive computing refers to making many computing devices available throughout the physical environment, while making them effectively invisible to the user (Weiser, 1991). Thanks to advances in the devices’ processing power, extended battery life, and the proliferation of mobile computing services, the realization of ubiquitous computing has become more apparent, being a major motivation for developing location and context-aware information delivery systems.
