+Challenges
+- What’s difficult about Ubiquitous Computing? 
+	- Requires understanding of sensors and new sensing technologies 
+		- Noisy inputs 
+		- Sensor fusion 
+- Wireless communication channels 
+- Power consumption 
+- Context is only a proxy for human intent 
+	- Unpredictable ussage context in particular for mobile devices 
+- Require novel user interfaces, limited/different I/O capabilities 
+	- Lack of standardization in interface patterns 
+- Privacy & Security
+
+Wireless Communication Channels
+- ![https://www.ntia.doc.gov/files/ntia/publications/january_2016_spectrum_wall_chart.pdf](https://i.imgur.com/54UbAHD.png)
+- Unpredictable availability and throughout 
+- Many physical issues: 
+- Refraction 
+- Absorption 
+- Antenna Geometry 
+- Power Limits 
+- Wireless spectrum is highly contested 
+- Many sources of interference 
+- Limited bandwith available 
+- Often complext SW/HW stacks
+
+Power Consumption
+- Biggest energy consumers 
+	- Display (backlight) 
+	- Wireless modules 
+	- GPS receiver, cameras 
+	- Sensors (touch, accelerometer, IMU) 
+- Limited power supply 
+	- Tradeoff: capacity vs. size/weight/portability 
+	- Energy consumption becomes important 
+- Two solutions: 
+	- Increase energy in relation to size/weight 
+		- Requires chemistry & physics knowledge 
+	- Decrease energy consumption 
+		- Requires CS/IS/EE knowledge

+
+Privacy and Security
+- Context awareness requires huge amounts of private & personal data (see current generation mobile devices) 
+	- Emails, contacts 
+	- Sensor data, movement profiles 
+	- PIN/TAN codes 
+	- Photos 
+- Many people want to access data 
+	- Google, Facebook, Microsoft (> ads) 
+	- NSA, GCHQ, BND, Five Eyes (> crime prevention) 
+	- Hackers (> extorsion, stealing your money) 
+- Problem 1: No pervasive encryption 
+- Problem 2: Voluntary use of cloud services, interconnected services
