Madurai: The Department of Computer Science and Engineering of Sethu Institute of Technology organised a two-day national seminar on ‘Recent challenges in intelligent pervasive computing’ under the sponsorship of Defence Research and Development Organisation last recently.

In his inaugural address, V. Ramachandran, Vice-Chancellor, Anna University, Tiruchi, said that pervasive computing technology, a recent and fast developing technology, was the convergence of many disciplines such as mechanical, civil and computer engineering.


Cell phones could be used to switch on and switch off fans, lights, air conditioners and other electrical equipment even from remote places once the technology was inserted into the cell phone. Balamuralidhar, Head, TCS Innovation, spoke about ‘Wireless pervasive computing.’
