Welcome to CoolCampus
As the power and capability of computing devices and communications networks continues to increase dramatically, many researchers believe that a new computing paradigm is emerging, where computing will recede into the background of everyday life.
“The most profound technologies are those that disappear. They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it." Mark Weiser, "The Computer for the Twenty-First Century," Scientific American, pp. 94-10, September 1991
Increasingly, the problem in computer systems is not the capacity of the computers and communications links, but rather the limited and precious resource of human attention. Pervasive computing research investigates the technical and social challenges of creating computerised environments that will recede into the background of our everyday lives and empower us to be more effective in the activities that we undertake.
The Faculty of Information Technology at Monash University has established the CoolCampus project in an effort to connect its existing pervasive computing research activities and to generate more opportunities for its pervasive computing researchers to collaborate with and engage university and industry partners.
