Pervasive Computing: Study for Homes

Abstract: Computing world is an incredibly growing area having pervasive computing as an emerging computing environment. The aim of pervasive computing is to create such an environment that is familiar to the user and this is done by embedding multiple electronic devices in user environment without making the technology and the computing devices visible to the user. After revolutionizing the business world pervasive computing is being making changes in the homes. This paper introduces the emergence of pervasive computing in the homes. Based on interviews conducted at home we explored the multiple user prospects about the pervasive computing environment at homes. The paper ends up with the discussions on the challenges and the future devices of pervasive computing at homes.
