Abstract
In this chapter, we have presented an overview of the enabling technologies for the emergence of pervasive computing and communication infrastructures. While the Internet will perhaps continue to be the backbone of pervasive computing, the tremendous advances in wireless mobile communications allow the creation of ubiquitous networks with very little effort and insignificant cost Moreover, wireless communications offer users the luxury of mobility and provide connectivity on the move. Sensor networks, RFID tags, and embedded devices also help in the deployment of environments that are replete with computing and communicating services. Heterogeneous devices and networks, interoperability among disparate entities, and mobility and security will continue to challenge pervasive computing researchers.
