Abstract
Pervasive computing also referred to as ubiquitous computing or ambient
intelligence aims to create environments where computers are invisibly
and seamlessly integrated and connected into our everyday environment.
Pervasive computing and intelligent multimedia technologies are becoming
increasingly important, although many potential applications have
not yet been fully realized. These key technologies are creating
a multimedia revolution that will have significant impact across
a wide spectrum of consumer, business, healthcare, and governmental
domains. This useful volume provides up-to-date and state-of-the-art
coverage of the diverse topics related to pervasive computing and
intelligent multimedia technologies. The use of different computational
intelligence-based approaches to various problems in pervasive computing
are examined, including video streaming, intelligent behavior modeling
and control for mobile manipulators, tele-gaming, indexing video
summaries for quick video browsing, web service processes, virtual
environments, ambient intelligence, and prevention and detection
of attacks to ubiquitous databases.
