AbstractUnlike desktop computing, ubiquitous computing occurs anytime and everywhere, using any device, in any location, and in any format. Computers exist in different forms, from watches and phones to refrigerators or pairs of glasses.
Main topics: Smart environments, IoT, mobiles & wearables, context & location, sensing & tracking, computer vision on embedded systems, health monitoring, fabrication.

Performance assessment

Performance assessment information (valid until the course unit is held again)
Performance assessment as a semester course
ECTS credits4 credits
ExaminersC. Holz, F. Mattern, S. Mayer
Typeend-of-semester examination
Language of examinationEnglish
RepetitionThe performance assessment is only offered at the end after the course unit. Repetition only possible after re-enrolling.
Additional information on mode of examinationFor a bonus towards the final grade, the course will contain two optional assignments that are based on the contents taught in class. In the first assignment, students will work on a dataset of physiological signals. In the second assignment, groups of students will come up with a short proposal of a ubiquitous sensing device that tackles a problem of their choosing.
In each assignment, students can obtain a bonus of 0.125 for a total possible bonus of 0.25 at the end of the term. In the first assignment, the bonus will be allotted based on the prediction accuracy achieved by the solution in 4 possible steps. In the second assignment, the bonus will be awarded based on the completeness of the proposal, including specification, feasibility, physiological reasoning, and presentation, again in 4 possible steps.
