  • Welcome to Pervasive Computing

    Loving students,

    Assalamu Alaikum. Welcome to Pervasive Computing course! I am Md. Rafidul Hasan Khan and I'll be your instructor of this course for the semester Fall 2022. Here we will discuss, learn, share and explore together to enrich ourselves. Wishing you a great experience!



    • Instructions/Guideline for the course:

      • All the students of section 55-F for this course have to enroll in Moodle.
      • Students can find all the course materials from Moodle.
      • All the students have to submit the soft copy of their "Assignment" in Moodle under assignment section created here and for this they will be graded here.
      • One discussion or feedback forum is created under each of the lecture Students have to give their feedback on these forum and marks will be given for their feedback
      • Any announcement regarding the class will be posted on Moodle. So they have to keep themselves always active on Moodle.

    Course Rationale

    Pervasive computing refers to the ubiquitous presence of computing in both mobile and embedded environments, with the ability to access and update information anywhere, anyplace and anytime. This idea has been around for a long time, but only now is pervasive computing truly taking root. The course focuses to formulate the pathway to walk in the area of Pervasive Computing


    Course Objective

    To provide a solid conceptual understanding of pervasive computing with the following objectives-

    • To get familiar with the basic concepts of pervasive computing.

    • How to solve real life problems using smart identification and smart labels.

    • To learn how to ensure pervasive device’s security.

    • To acquaint with Internet protocols and formats, Wireless Application Protocols, Gateways.
