Information Dissemination Via Wireless Broadcast

Overview

The advent of sensor, wireless and portable device technologies will soon enable one to embed computing technologies transparently in the environment to provide uninterrupted services for one's daily life. With temperature and location sensors and wireless access points embedded in an environment, a person entering an environment can be automatically connected to the environment. All of his personal computing devices will then be adapted to the context, making all important information readily available for the user to tackle his tasks at hand. An important step towards the realization of this pervasive environment is to be able to disseminate timely and relevant information to the user anytime, anywhere.
