Abstract
Ubiquitous or pervasive computing environment needs to offer an important amount of essential features like proactivity, transparency, ease-of-use, high-level performance and energy management, cyber foraging and surrogate request support, location and context awareness, scalability, and so forth. Such environment-correlated attributes pose significant requirements on the employed hardware plat-forms. This works highlights the emerging hardware design paradigms supposed to comply with those strict requirements. Prior to this, we give a brief insight in the main evolutionary steps of pervasive computing, analyse the primary characteristics of calm technologies, and point out emerging hardware architectures and design methodologies. As a case study, an approach for the integration of reconfigurable hardware and computer applications is discussed.
