Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing Reading Group: Project SILK

The School of Information Technologies in the University of Sydney Australia has a new research iniative (Project SILK) in pervasive and ubiquitous computing. The vision of pervasive and ubiquitous computing is to allow people to use natural environments augmented with computational resources that provide information and services when and where desired. Invisibility of computing, from the human perspective, can start when we can determine an individual's identity, location, effect, or activity through his or her mere presence and natural interactions in an environment. Would you like to know more about Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing?

What is this reading group?

We are a group of academics, researchers and students from the University of Sydney who meet weekly to discuss papers we have read in the area of pervasive and ubiquitous computing. Specific topics are chosen each week by the group members.

If you're interested in joining the reading group, all you need to do is read the paper and then join us in G46 of the Madsen Building each Friday at 4pm. If you'd like more information, feel free to email aquigley.
