This book is a guide for the world of pervasive computing. It covers a variety of front-end devices and their opening systems as well as the back-end systems which have to integrate the pervasive components into a seamless IT world. A strong emphasis is placed on the underlying technologies and standards applied when building up pervasive solutions. These fundamental topics include commonly used terms such as XML, WAP, transcoding, and cryptography, to mention just a few. The book presents an overview of the different development strategies and tools for different pervasive platforms. In order to ease the planning and development of new solutions, concepts and considerations specific to a variety of different target environments, such as e-Business, private home, finance, and travel, are explained. Case studies of pervasive computing in upcoming real-life solutions are comprehensive
