Why did the logistics soldier
cross the road?
What is Pervasive Computing (PvC)?


The goal of pervasive computing (PvC) is to make data and application
services available to any authorized user anywhere, anytime, and on any
device.
Create an environment where “everything” is a compute node which
communicates wirelessly and interacts seamlessly with humans.

PvC is important!
It is here, and moving quickly.
Let’s pick an architecture that scales, offers security, and
gives us a platform on which to build applications more
rapidly.
We need strong middleware on the device and on the
back-end.
