a) INTRODUCTION
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is concerned with the use of
technology managing and processing information. ICT deals with the use of electronic
computers and computer software to convert, store, protect, process, transmit, and
retrieve information. Open Source Software (OSS) can be defined as computer software
for which the human-readable source code is made available under a copyright license
(or arrangement such as the public domain) that meets the Open Source Definition. This
permits users to use, change, and improve the software, and to redistribute it in
modified or unmodified form. Application software can be mainly classified under few
categories which are Enterprise software, Enterprise infrastructure software,
Information worker software, Media and entertainment software, Educational software,
Media development software, and Product engineering software.

b.2 Examples of Open Source OS


There are two examples of Open Source Operating System which are Haiku and
Syllable.

Haiku is an open-source operating system currently in development designed


from the ground up for desktop computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku aims
to provide users of all levels with a personal computing experience that is
simple yet powerful, and free of any unnecessary complexities. Haiku is
developed mostly by volunteers around the world in their spare time.

Besides, Syllable is a reliable and easy-to-use open source operating system for
the home and small office user. Syllable is still being developed, but it is already
relatively stable and mature, including the following features:
a) booting usually takes less than 10seconds, a full GUI is built into the OS
b) support for a wide range of common hardware devices, including video,
network, and sound cards from manufacturers such as Intel, AMD,
3Com, nVidia, and Creative
c) Internet access through an Ethernet network (PPP and PPPoE are not
fully supported yet, but are available in a test version)
d) a graphical web browser, based on WebKit
e) an e-mail client (Whisper), and hundreds of other native applications
f) a journalled file system, modelled on the BeOS file system

5.0 Pervasive Computing

5.1 Meaning of Pervasive Computing


Pervasive computing is the trend towards increasingly ubiquitous (another
name for the movement is ubiquitous computing), connected computing
devices in the environment, a trend being brought about by a convergence
of advanced electronic - and particularly, wireless - technologies and the
Internet. Pervasive computing devices are not personal computers as we
tend to think of them, but very tiny - even invisible - devices, either
mobile or embedded in almost any type of object imaginable, including
cars, tools, appliances, clothing and various consumer goods - all
communicating through increasingly interconnected networks.

5.2 Example of Pervasive Computing

5.2.1 Mobile Computing - Wearable computer


Some inventors and other theorists not only believe you could wear a
computer; they believe there's no reason why you shouldn't. Assuming you
remembered to wear it, a wearable computer is always available.
Currently, several companies sell wearables and there is a considerable
literature on the subject. Some wearable computers are basically desktop
or notebook computers that have been scaled down for body-wear. Others
employ brand new technology. Both general and special purposes are
envisioned. A number of wearables have been designed for the disabled.

Among the challenges of wearable computers are: how to minimize their weight and
bulkiness, how and where to locate the display, and what kind of data entry device to
provide. Some of the applications envisioned for wearable computers include:

• Augmented memory, a concept originated by Thad Starner and being developed by


Bradley Rhodes at the MIT Media Lab, in which as you enter a room, your wearable
computer could sense the people present and remind you of their names or personal
history, or a scheduler could whisper the time of an important meeting in your ear, or a
"remembrance agent" could look for related documents by observing the words you were
typing .
• Immediate access to important data for anyone whose occupation requires mobility, such
as real estate agents, rural doctors, fire and police professionals, lawyers in courtrooms,
horse bettors, military personnel, stock brokers, and many others

The ability to take notes immediately. For example, for reporters,


geologists, botanists, vendor show representatives, field service repair
personnel.

5.2.2 Smart home or building


A smart home or building is a home or building, usually a new one, that is
equipped with special structured wiring to enable occupants to remotely
control or program an array of automated home electronic devices by
entering a single command. For example, a homeowner on vacation can
use a Touchtone phone to arm a home security system, control temperature
gauges, switch appliances on or off, control lighting, program a home
theater or entertainment system, and perform many other tasks.

The field of home automation is expanding rapidly as electronic technologies converge.


The home network encompasses communications, entertainment, security, convenience,
and information systems.

A technology known as Powerline Carrier Systems (PCS) is used to send coded signals
along a home's existing electric wiring to programmable switches, or outlets. These
signals convey commands that correspond to "addresses" or locations of specific devices,
and that control how and when those devices operate. A PCS transmitter, for instance, can
send a signal along a home's wiring, and a receiver plugged into any electric outlet in the
home could receive that signal and operate the appliance to which it is attached.
One common protocol for PCS is known as X10, a signaling technique for remotely
controlling any device plugged into an electrical power line. X10 signals, which involve
short radio frequency (RF) bursts that represent digital information, enable
communication between transmitters and receivers.

In Europe, technology to equip homes with smart devices centers on development of the
European Installation Bus, or Instabus. This embedded control protocol for digital
communication between smart devices consists of a two-wire bus line that is installed
along with normal electrical wiring. The Instabus line links all appliances to a
decentralized communication system and functions like a telephone line over which
appliances can be controlled. The European Installation Bus Association is part of
Konnex, an association that aims to standardize home and building networks in Europe.

Echelon Corp., the creator of the LonWorks system, is helping drive adoption of an open
interoperability standard among vendors in the control networks industry. LonWorks is an
open standard for network automation and control for the building, transportation,
industrial and home markets. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has
adopted the protocol underlying LonWorks control networks as an industry standard. The
LonMark Interoperability Association is made up of more than 200 controls companies
mission working on standard to integrate multi-vendor systems based on LonWorks
networks.

Definition of Network
Network is group of two computer.It is to connect two or more computers
with the ability to communicate with each other and share resources.Types
of network is LAN,MAN,WAN.

LAN
-Local Area Network
-local area network are sometimes called a single location network.
-network that is limited to a relatively small spatial area such as a room,a
single building,a ship,or an airraft.

MAN
-Metropolitan Area Network
-The network that connects two or more LANs together but does not
extend beyond the boundaries of the immediate town or city.
-Typically covers an area of between 5 to 50km range.

WAN
-Wide Area Network
-WAN is a data communications network that covers a relatively broad
geographic area and that often uses transmission facilities provided by
common carries,such as telephone companies.
