ABSTRACT
Pervasive computing, also called ubiquitous computing or UbiComp, is the growing trend to embed microprocessors in everyday objects and activities so that they can communicate information. The Internet of Things is a related term. It is based on the concept of what happens when computers move away from the desktop and become immersed in the surrounding environment. Someone using pervasive computing engages many computational devices and systems simultaneously and is often not aware that he or she is doing so. Machines currently fit the human environment instead of forcing humans to enter theirs. With the advent of networking, personal computing evolved into distributed computing. As computers became connected, they began to share capabilities over the network. Distributed computing marked the next step toward pervasive computing by introducing seamless access to remote information resources and communication with fault tolerance, high availability, and security.
