Ubicomp

Ubicomp is shorthand for ubiquitous computing, sometimes referred to as pervasive computing. It refers to the deep integration of computational tools into the "everyday" living environment of people, as opposed to the contemporary paradigm in which computers, although increasingly common, are distinct objects. 
The idea purports that the embedding of computers into the environment would enable people to move around and interact with information more naturally than they currently do. One of the goals of ubiquitous computing is to enable devices to sense changes in their environment and to automatically adapt and act based on these changes based on user needs and preferences.
