IWCIT ’ 03 Data Mining Techniques in Ubiquitous Computing

Ubiquitous computing is a new era in the evolution of computers. After the mainframe and personal computers (PC) phases, the third phase, the phase of ubiquitous computing devices begins. This paper focuses on some techniques of dealing with streams of data from multiple various sources (e.g., motion detectors, temperature sensors, etc.) and getting relevant information from the data. Popular knowledge discovery/data mining techniques, namely Bayesian networks (used widely in the field of artificial intelligence), are employed as reasoning engines.
