PANEL
Next Generation Wireless Pervasive Computing
AbstractResearch and development in the field of Wireless Pervasive Computing (WPC) have been very active over the recent years. Several WPC applications have been in service while many are being developed. This panel will first discuss the current deployment of WPC technologies/applications and barriers that limit their widespread use. Special emphasis will be given to visions of future WPC technologies/applications and infrastructure. Panelists will present their perspective on the tentative killer and niche applications. Challenges on the way towards the next generation WPC deployment will also be discussed. |
