  2. 1. A Design Rationale for Pervasive Computing : User Experience, Contextual Change and Technical Requirements

    Author : Markus Bylund; Magnus Boman; Tom Rodden; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Informatics; computer and systems science; Informatik; data- och systemvetenskap; Informatics; computer and systems science; Informatik; data- och systemvetenskap;

    Abstract : The vision of pervasive computing promises a shift from information tech-nology per se to what can be accomplished by using it, thereby fundamen-tally changing the relationship between people and information technology. In order to realize this vision, a large number of issues concerning user ex-perience, contextual change, and technical requirements should be ad-dressed. READ MORE
