Title:       Pervasive Computing: Finding Value in the Emerging Infrastructure
Speaker:  Rick Simonian, Vice President for Telecom Engineering of Harris Corporation
Abstract:
We are experiencing a worldwide proliferation of mobile computing devices, a convergence of voice and data networks, an explosion of accessible information, and a growing expectation from users to be able to access this information securely anytime, anywhere. And yet they have an expectation that their communication costs will continue to decline, while the value they get goes up. In this talk we will look at some of the forces driving this change, examine the convergence trends, and consider where the users will find value in the era of pervasive computing and pervasive information.
