Connected Computing
While many computers have become small
enough to disappear, computing has continued to be a very visible or
explicit task for a large number of computer users. Computing platforms
and the World Wide Web are undergoing significant architectural
transitions driven by the unprecedented convergence of the need to
process massive amounts of data with the availability of massive
amounts of compute resources. This has the potential to enable a new
class of Connected Computing applications. The service-oriented focus
and real-time nature of these emerging applications make computing more
implicit and capable of delivering a significantly more immersive
experience to a broader class of end-users. This talk explores the
platform implications of this trend.
Bio of the
speaker:
Pradeep Dubey is a senior principal engineer and manager of Innovative
Platform Architecture (IPA) in the Microprocessor Technology Lab, part
of the Corporate Technology Group. His research focus is computer
architectures to efficiently handle new application paradigms for the
future computing environment. Dubey previously worked at IBM's T.J.
Watson Research Center, and Broadcom Corporation. He was one of the
principal architects of the AltiVec* multimedia extension to Power PC*
architecture. He also worked on the design, architecture, and
performance issues of various microprocessors, including Intel®
i386TM, i486TM, and Pentium® processors. He holds over 25 patents
and has published extensively. Dr. Dubey received a BS in electronics
and communication engineering from Birla Institute of Technology,
India, an MSEE from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and a
PhD in electrical engineering from Purdue University. He is a Fellow of
IEEE.

Challenges in Creating Embedded Ubiquitous Services Everywhere
In ubiquitous computing environment,
many embedded computers, sensors, devices, and networks are connected
for creating context-aware embedded ubiquitous services. We have been
building smart rooms and smart furniture to develop such embedded
ubiquitous applications. Since the smart furniture is equipped with
embedded networked computers, sensors and various I/O devices, it can
provide various services in a public or a private space. By
simply placing the smart furniture in a space, we can instantaneously
convert the legacy non-smart space into a smart space where
location-based context-aware services, service roaming, personalized
services and the connectivity to the Internet are provided.
In this talk, we will discuss the issues and challenges in creating
context-aware embedded ubiquitous services. We first introduce
various types of smart furniture and ubiquitous appliances. Then,
several types of context-aware ubiquitous services such as a real-time
ranking system for consumers, a secure library check-out system, a
mobile TV-phone system, and an environmental monitoring system for a
city park are described. Finally, we summarize the issues and future
challenges in providing context-awareness, real-time adaptability,
time-space coordination for embedded ubiquitous services.

Hideyuki
Tokuda received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Keio University, Japan
in 1975 and 1977, respectively; a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from
the University of Waterloo in 1983. He joined the School of Computer
Science at Carnegie Mellon University in 1983, and was a Senior
Research Computer Scientist.
In 1990, he joined the Faculty of Environment and Information Studies
at Keio University. He is currently a Dean of the Faculty of
Environment and Information Studies and a Professor in the Graduate
School of Media and Governance, Keio University, Japan.
His research interests include ubiquitous computing systems,
distributed real-time operating systems, multimedia systems, embedded
systems, information appliances, sensor networks, and smart spaces. He
has created many distributed operating systems and software tools such
as Real-Time Mach, the ARTS Kernel, Shoshin, Scheduler 1-2-3, and ARM
(Advanced Real-Time Monitor). He also created many ubiquitous
platforms such as Smart Space Lab., Smart Furniture, uPhoto, uTexture
and uPlatea. Because of his research and educational contributions, he
was awarded the Motorola Foundation Award, the IBM Faculty Award, the
Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Award and the Ministry of
Internal Affairs and Communication Award in Japan. He is a
corresponding member of Science Council of Japan and a member of the
IEEE, ACM, IPSJ, IEICE, and the Japan Society for Software Science and
Technology.
