We still view computers primarily as machines that run programs in a virtual environment, such that we enter to perform a task and leave when we finish. Pervasive computing presumes an altogether different vision. A device can be a portal into an application-data space, not a repository of custom software that a user must manage. An application is a means by which a user performs a task, not software written to exploit a device’s capabilities. Aa computing environment is an information-enhanced physical space, not a virtual environment that exists to store and run software. The technological advances necessary to build a pervasive computing environment fall into four broad areas: devices, networking, middleware, and applications. The Ubiquitous/Pervasive Computing Market research report aims to capture the market roadmap with market sizes, revenue forecasts, value chain, market & product trends, price trends and regulations, competitive landscape, leading players and their key developments, strategies, and profiles. It also aims to analyze the market by products, applications, and geography.
