What and Who

The Vision and Reality of Ubiquitous Computing

Henning Schulzrinne,
Columbia University
SWS Distinguished Lecture Series


Prof.  Henning Schulzrinne received his Ph.D.  from the University of
Massachusetts in Amherst, Massachusetts.  He was a member of technical
staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill and an associate department
head at GMD-Fokus (Berlin), before joining the Computer Science and
Electrical Engineering departments at Columbia University, New York.  He
is currently chair of the Department of Computer Science.

Protocols co-developed by him, such as RTP, RTSP and SIP, are now
Internet standards, used by almost all Internet telephony and multimedia
applications.  His research interests include Internet multimedia
systems, ubiquitous computing, mobile systems, quality of service, and
performance evaluation. He is a Fellow of the IEEE.

Abstract

Simultaneous videocast: Campus of Saarland University, Building E 1.4,
room 024 (MPI building)




About ten years ago, the notion of ubiquitous computing first
appeared, just as the first truly mobile devices became available.
Ten years later, the notion of ubiquitous computing as integrating
computing into the environment has not quite panned out, with the
emphasis shifting to personal, mobile devices. In this talk, I will
try to illustrate some of the user-focused challenges that derive
from the goals of ubiquitous computing. We have also started to
address some aspects of the problem with our work on service and
session mobility, as well as attempts to offer core network services,
such as email and web access, in partially disconnected environments.
