Pervasive computing and embedded real-time systems address wearable computer architecture and applications, sensor networks, real-time embedded operating systems, embedded system networking, smart spaces, dynamic service discovery, security and privacy, and mobility. Pervasive computing is best considered as the underlying framework, the embedded systems, networks, communications, and displays which are invisible and everywhere (Dillon, 2006). Pervasive computing (also ubiquitous computing) creates a smart environment through a network of embedded smart devices that collect, process, and transmit information in cooperative and autonomous manner.

The principal component of real-time systems is embedded real-time software, which can observe and respond to triggering events from the environment, albeit periodically or immediately. The frequency depends on which software architecture the real-time systems utilises. Some architectures are preferred, due to testability, resource utilisation, predictability, extensibility and fault tolerance. My research interests focus on these two main areas, applied to indoor positioning systems and mixed-criticality applications.
