Abstract
This Frost & Sullivan research service, titled Exploring the European Union
Research Policy in Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing, aims to define the
concept of pervasive and ubiquitous computing. The definition will be expanded
illustrating some applications in order to give an idea about the scope of
pervasive and ubiquitous computing. It proceeds to illustrate how those
technologies are interpreted in the policy-making arena. The cases of Japan,
South Korea and EU will be discussed. The EU Disappearing Computer Initiative
will be further analysed. The last section provides readers with some comments
on social and business implications of pervasive and ubiquitous computing.
