Designing For Usability : 10 Heuristic Evaluation

The Analysis of the Concept

Pervasive Computing

       Pervasive computing means that a transpire style that make use of microprocessor that are embedded into daily life application which allow them to trade information through medium known as network.

      Pervasive computing also known as an emerging field of research that bring revolutionary paradigms for computing model which embedded microchip into daily life things which goes beyond the realm of personal computer that allow an infinite of network between device that trade information.

     For example, the watch that have been embedded by the microchip which allow them to connected through the network and exchange an information.

Ubiquitous Computing

     Ubiquitous computing is the model that explain the processing of every information is linked with each activity or object as encountered which connecting electronic devices including microprocessor anywhere and everywhere by enable the device to have a constant availability and completely connected.

      Ubiquitous computing means that trading an information through an infinite of network that constantly connected and invisible to the user that happen anywhere and everywhere.

     For example, the mobile phone that always connected to internet which will trade information across an infinite network is also using the concept of the ubiquitous computing.

Ambient Computing

      Ambient computing refer to the electronic environment with the sensor that can detect the presence of the people.

     Ambient Computing contains the communication that live through the sensor and actuator embedded into the device that interact with the world physically and functionally which harnessing the environment for business process and insight.


       For example you can automatic door at the shopping mall. When the nearby people come closer to the door, the door will automatically open to allow people to enter the shopping mall.

Disappearing Computing

       Disappearing computing means that the technology things will not be perceives as the computer anymore and look as a normal thing in our daily life.

       Disappearing computer define that a foresight of the future of our world that affect every object and places which are infused and augmented with information processing and exchanging.


       Disappearance can take into 2 forms which is physical disappearance and mental disappearance. Physical disappearance refer to the miniaturization of device and their integration into everyday product such as shirt while mental disappearance refer to the situation in which the computer is not perceived as the computer anymore because people discern them thus explain the technology move mentally into the background.

Analyze the definition

1. What is similar and different about definition of the same thing

1. Pervasive Computing

a) Similarity

The similarity of the definition is both involving embedding of microchip into daily life things

b) Difference 

The difference of the definition is first definition is the act of embedding microprocessor into daily life things while second definition is about emerging field of research that bring the revolutionary of computing which allow to trade an information through infinite network


2. Ubiquitous Computing

a)  Similarity

The similarity of the definition is both connected to the network anywhere and everywhere

b)  Difference 


The difference of the definition is first definition is processing of every information is linked with each activity or object as encountered which connecting electronic devices while second definition is trading an information through an infinite of network that invisible to the user.

3. Ambient Computing

a)  Similarity

The similarity of the definition is both are equipped with the sensor to detect the certain things.

b)  Difference 


The difference of the definition is first definition refer to the electronic environment with the sensor that can detect the presence of the people while second definition contains the communication that live through the sensor and actuator embedded into the device that interact with the world physically and functionally which harnessing the environment for business process and insight.


4. Disappearing Computing

a)  Similarity

The similarity of the definition is both look like normal things and are not perceived as computer anymore 

b)  Difference 

The difference of the definition is first definition the technology things will not be perceives as the computer anymore while second definition that a foresight of the future of our world that affect every object and places which are infused and augmented with information processing and exchanging.

2.What is similar and different  about definition of the different thing

1. Pervasive Computing vs Ubiquitous Computing

a) Similarity

The similarity of the definition is both involving embedding of microchip and trading of information through an infinite network.

b) Difference 


The difference of the both computing is first concept is emerging field of research that bring revolutionary paradigms for computing model which embedded microchip into daily life things which goes beyond the realm of personal computer while second concept is trading an information through an infinite of network that constantly connected and invisible to the user that happen anywhere and everywhere


2. Pervasive Computing vs Ambient Computing

a) Similarity

The similarity of the definition is both contain electronic microchip to perform certain function.

b) Difference 


The difference of the both computing is first concept emerging field of research that bring revolutionary paradigms for computing model which embedded microchip into daily life things which goes beyond the realm of personal computer that allow an infinite of network between device that trade information while second concept device contains the communication that live through the sensor and actuator embedded into the device that interact with the world physically and functionally which harnessing the environment for business process and insight.

3. Pervasive Computing vs Disappearing Computing

a) Similarity

The similarity of the definition is both involving information processing and exchanging.

b) Difference 


The difference of the both computing is first concept emerging field of research that bring revolutionary paradigms for computing model which embedded microchip into daily life things which goes beyond the realm of personal computer that allow an infinite of network between device that trade information while second concept is a foresight of the future of our world that affect every object and places which are infused and augmented with information processing and exchanging.


4. Ambient Computing vs Ubiquitous Computing

a) Similarity

The similarity of the definition is both contain electronic microchip to perform certain function.

b) Difference 


The difference of the both computing is first concept  refer to the electronic environment with the sensor that can detect the presence of the people while second concept is trading an information through an infinite of network that constantly connected and invisible to the user that happen anywhere and everywhere.


5. Disappearing Computing vs Ubiquitous Computing

a) Similarity

The similarity of the definition is both involving information processing and exchanging.

b) Difference 


The difference of the both computing is first concept that the technology things will not be perceives as the computer anymore and look as a normal thing in our daily life while second concept is trading an information through an infinite of network that constantly connected and invisible to the user that happen anywhere and everywhere.


6. Disappearing Computing vs Ambient Computing

a) Similarity

The similarity of the definition is look into normal things in the daily life..

b) Difference 


The difference of the both computing is first concept that the technology things will not be perceives as the computer anymore and look as a normal thing in our daily life while second concept is device that contains the communication that live through the sensor and actuator embedded into the device that interact with the world physically and functionally which harnessing the environment for business process and insight.
