UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING

AND IPV6 ADDRESS

UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING:
Overview:

Ubiquious

or pervasive computing is a concept in computer science and engineering

where computing is made to appear everywhere and anywhere.

Ubiquitous

computing is a human-computer interaction model that integrates the

information processing into everyday objects and activities

In

a Ubiquitous computing environment, you can expect hundreds of wireless computing

devices of different sizes integrated in a single room.

The

idea that almost any device, from clothing to tools to appliances to cars to homes to
the human body to your coffee mug, can be imbedded with chips to connect the device to
an infinite network of other devices.

computing is normally wireless, mobile, and networked, allowing its users to .

integrates human factors, computer science, engineering, and social sciences and uses
different user interfaces, operating systems, networks, and wireless communications. get
connected to the world around them

History

Mark Weiser in 1988 articulated the idea of ubiquitous computing for

the first time at the Computer Science Lab at Xerox Palo Alto Research
Center (PARC).
He coined the phrase "ubiquitous computing" and wrote several papers
on it.
Mark Weiser suggested the idea of enormous number of ubiquitous
computers embedding into everything in our everyday life so that we
use them anytime, anywhere without the knowledge of them.
The initial forms of ubiquitous computing include tabs, pads, and
boards.
Today, ubiquitous computing is still at an early phase as it requires
revolutionary software and hardware technologies.

Three generation of computing:

Vision:

According to Weiser can one speak of ubiquitous computing where the following
four criteria are met:

Microcomputers are built into the physical objects of all kinds and sizes and
performing duties such as might previously made with the support of PC or not at
all because the computer technology which did not fit financially or technically.

Typically these embedded / built-in digital systems is that they are small to size
and the outside does not make any noise.

Built-in microcomputers expands (strengthens, accrue, expand) the object

(Apparatus, system) utility or usefulness to the user through a set of digitallybased functions.

If necessary, object to communicate digitally with the world (second objects,

databases or people) to get or give information. Natural objects, normally dead
objects, thus become natural members of the a borderless digital communicating
world. Things can start communicating, talk to the outside world, talk about how
they feel, be talked to, download what they can need to work either by being
driven by the user or of circumstances in the outside world, of the situation they are
currently is in.

Concept:

Distributed connection
Small form electronic devices with better ambient displays,
public screens, and new input techniques
Readily available, high bandwidth, wireless data
communication
Personalized machine learning with better logic and inference
Mechanical, chemical, electrical, and bio-sensing
mechanisms
Physical, informational, and social context awareness
Smart control embedded systems

Applications:

There are very diverse ubiquitous computing applications that are based on human
computer interaction (HCI) models.

These applications use traditional graphical or text-based user interfaces that allow
speech, gesture, and physical interactions.

They are context-sensitive and add additional capabilities and functionalities to

every day objects.

They are embedded in real world environment to help in multi-tasking with access
to large volumes of diverse information and enable user collaborations.

The major functional units of ubiquitous applications are

Interfacing
Processing
Communicating

Some of ubiquitous applications include the following.

Home network

Entertainment and gaming

Intelligence service
Ubiquitous learning
Tourism
Transportation
Ubiquitous business and shopping
Research laboratories
Health monitoring
Environmental control

WHAT IS IPV6?

IPv6 or Internet Protocol Version 6 is the next generation protocol for the
Internet. It's designed to provide several advantages over current Internet
Protocol.

Specifically, IPv6 contains addressing and control information to route

packets for the next generation Internet.We believe that the expansion of the
Internet is important and upgrades are sometimes warranted.

IPv6 addresses the main problem of IPv4, that is, the exhaustion of addresses
to connect computers or host in a packet-switched network. IPv6 has a very
large address space and consists of 128 bits as compared to 32 bits in IPv4.

The ipv6 is more inevitable ,efficient and secure then previous version

THREE PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT TECHNOLOGIES

IN THE WINGS PUSHING UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING:

The phenomenon of ubiquitous computing is structurally inherent in most

of all the digital technology that now developed.

In addition, it will be three techniques that seem to want to be involved in

virtually all contexts theyre made to fit in ubiquitous computing.

1.RFID (smart radio tags for automatic digital identification):

RFID, smart radio tags provide everything digital identity.

A key feature of ubiquitous computing is the technology for RF identification, RFID, which
uses radio waves to identify the digital material things of all kinds, places, people, etc.
The key is that an RFID tag (smart radio tag) can be very small (a human hair), invisible and
easy to place anywhere and on anything.

An RFID tag is soon very cheap and will remain cheaper. This means that it increasingly will
be economical to put RFID tags or transponders on practically everything shoes, lamp
posts, cars, car parts, computers, books, doors, medicine packaging, drivers license, cell
phones, food, patients, children, etc. .
It is possible to real-time monitor and locate RFID-tagged items, see where they are and what
they are up to. It is possible to sort things such as luggage or books

RFID (and other new emerging technologies for digital identification) is therefore a very
useful and universal technology that will greatly drive the development of ubiquitous
computing.

2.WIRELESS ULTRA-WIDEBAND :

In the case of wireless communications is the next step after the current
WiFi and Bluetooth standard a technology called UWB ultra wideband.

It is a technology with low power can transfer data over short distances as
fast as 100-2000 Mbps, extreme bandwidth, many times faster and safer
than todays wireless technologies for local communication and for links to
the global networks.

This means that it is practically possible to create local communication

environments where everything literally can swim in the wireless
broadband connectivity ideal for ubiquitous computing applications that
will benefit greatly when UWB is widely available.

3.NEXT-GENERATION INTERNET IPV6:

IPv6, the next generation internet, open the Internet of things.

A new and improved internet access will be needed for ubiquitous

computing will fully operational.

One obstacle to the development of ubiquitous computing so far in a more

widespread scale of global level is that the IP addressing scheme in the
current Internet, (known as IPv4), is limited (although it can handle one
billion users).

A further development, next generation Internet (IPng, Internet Next

Generation) has been prepared for several years. In the scenes there is a
new Internet protocol, IPv6.

IPv6 provides among many other things essential to

performance enhancing aspects an enormous expansion
in terms of available IP addresses everything on this earth
to have its own unique IP address, or more and yet there
are plenty of additional IP addresses if anyone needs.

With IPv6, every person, place, objects have their own unique
addresses. This means that all physical objects can become part of
the Internet. They become addressable, digitally reachable.

IPv6 allows for a comprehensive introduction of the so-called endto-end based services and any / everything can have its own unique
public address. A light bulb, a book, a pen will be communicable via
internet. Several billion gadgets, appliances, gadgets, machines
around the world can begin to keep in touch and talk to each other.

IPv6

will be needed because

IPv6 enables a huge number of new machines and technical devices can be
plugged into a worldwide infrastructure for digital communications. In As the
number of connected things is increasing, facilitated
a) peoples need for easily and in different ways to communicate and
b) the replacement of all major data volumes.
With the current IPv4, this will not be possible. Therefore IPv6 will be necessary.

Need to re-establish an end-to-end Internet and to get away from a false sense of
security. It is also needed to give everyone a chance to be continuously connected
to the network and thus be included in a ubiquitous computing environment.

IPv6 is also necessary to cope with the continued growth of the existing network
services, and development of new services and applications. Current
IPv4 can not long satisfy future needs.

The

great potential of IPv6, the promise that technology exhibits, is to do

everything in world, until every part of every thing, to a node / node in the global
network so that everything can in principle communicate and collaborate
digitally.
