ABSTRACT
Ubiquitous computing describes the direct and constant presence of information technology and technology in people’s lives, in their homes and social environments. It is the total integration concerning the technology/machine paradigm with human beings, referring to devices connected everywhere in a way so transparent to the human being that we will end up not realizing that they are there. Its main idea refers to the use of mobile devices, their services, and resources, which can discover and connect to other mobile devices in the environment. Since the system for managing ubiquitous computing can be small, it is considered a form of technology where mobile users, services, and resources encounter other users, services, and resources, which benefit from the advances in mobile computing and pervasive computing. In this context, technology is derived from the perception that it is or can be everywhere at the same time, considered the technology where services, mobile users, and resources meet other users, services, and resources, using computer knowledge mobile and pervasive computing. Related to any objects (devices) with computational capacities that can be integrated with each other in a “hidden way” in the environment for ease in carrying out daily tasks. In this sense, this chapter aims to provide an updated overview of ubiquitous computing and its evolution and branch of application potential, showing and approaching its success relationship, with a concise bibliographic background, and synthesizing the potential of technology.
