  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Microsensing Networks for Sustainable Cities

Part of the book series: Smart Sensors, Measurement and Instrumentation ((SSMI,volume 18))

Abstract

The term ubiquitous computing, also known as pervasive computing, describes a growing trend towards embedding microprocessors into everyday objects to allow communication to and from these devices, effectively rendering them smart and ideally invisible to people because of their small size and unobtrusive placement.
