• We need to have a clear and simple future vision
  as our quest or goal.
• We should start from peoples needs and think in
  a human-centric way.

Human-Centric Approaches

• Not data-centric
• Person should be centered and enlarged in the
  figure
• It should not be one of the nodes
• Determine the requirements for data management
  from human needs

Where are the people?

My Version of Quest

• The ultimate goal of Pervasive Computing is to
  "make it unnecessary to carry around anything
  with you.
• Currently, we must carry many items including
• Watch
• Wallet (money, credit cards, membership cards,
  driver's licence, name cards, passes, tickets,
  ...)
• Cell phone
• Laptops, PDA's
• Documents
• Keys (for houses, cars, offices, ...)
• If computing becomes pervasive to its full
  potential, there will be no need to carry these
  items at any time.
