| Description: |
This seminar-style course covers current research topics
in the area of Ubiquitous and Pervasive Computing, including: design
issues for ubiquitous computing; integration and processing of
sensor-based input; wireless infrastructures; security and
user-interfaces; integrated, multimodal input and output and application
areas. Students will read a number of papers on these and related areas,
and a required term project will allow students to apply these concepts
in a real-world application.
Permission of instructor required (Graduate Students should register as CS297). |
||||||||||||||||
| Prerequisites: | Programming languages (CSCI-141 or CSCI-210), Algorithms (CSCI-151 or CSCI-212), Architecture (CSCI-136 or CSCI-211). | ||||||||||||||||
| Projects: | Class meetings will alternate between weeks of readings and project reports. Each student will work on a semester project in order to drive home the topics covered in the course. These projects can be team based or individual. Project details will be discussed on the first day of class. Students are expected to work on the project throghout the entire semester, and periodic status reviews and demonstrations will be required (see schedule below). | ||||||||||||||||
| Papers: | The readings will consist of chapters from the text, as well as important papers in the field. In the weeks where readings will be discussed, each student must hand in a one-page summary of each paper assigned for that day. In addition, each paper will be presented by a student. Each student will present two papers over the course of the semester. It is hoped that the papers will stimulate lively discussion during the class meetings. | ||||||||||||||||
