Ubiquitous Computing

The book "Ubiquitous Computing" by Florian Resatsch offers a comprehensive analysis of the technologies driving the concept of Ubiquitous Computing, particularly RFID and Near Field Communication (NFC). It highlights the challenges that developers and entrepreneurs face when transforming prototypes into market-ready products. Resatsch argues that involving users in the early stages of development is crucial for creating applications that will be accepted by consumers. The work combines insights from various disciplines and presents a unified model for the development and evaluation of Ubiquitous Computing applications. These research findings are particularly relevant, as NFC technology is still in its infancy and the right approaches for application development are lacking. The book is aimed at professionals and enthusiasts who wish to engage with the practical and theoretical aspects of these emerging technologies.
