Abstract

Ubiquitous Computing means network connectivity everywhere, linking devices and systems as tiny as adrawing pin and as large as a worldwide product distribution chain. This paper explores issues arising withimplementing Ubiquitous computing, and gives examples of success stories where researchers leveragedUbiquitous computing effectively. The paper further enumerates certain key issues and factors that affectthe implementation of Ubiquitous computing, and finally provides insights towards how to seamlesslyachieve the adoption of this new era approach to computing.

Abstract

For more than a decade now, Nigeria has been witnessing a continuous improvement and boom in theapplication of Information and Communications Technology in all the vital sectors of her economy. Thereis an increasing dependency on computer programs for critical infrastructures, business processes andoperations. This boom is not abating, and is resulting in a corresponding increase in the number ofcompanies and individuals who join an increasing population of software engineers, enterprise applicationdevelopers and programmers. But regrettably, the boom has given rise to a host of ethical issues. Theability to make sound ethical judgement and decision is becoming very important as “half-baked” softwaredevelopers produce critical software that are supposed to run critical business functions and operations. Tocompound this problem the few technical schools or colleges that produce the very needed programmersand web designers do not have a clue that there is something negative creeping in from another angle;they do not have qualified or versed instructors to arm their graduates with the basic foundationknowledge in software professional ethics which is needed to effectively practise the art of softwareengineering in the society at large.This paper investigates the state of software engineering ethics in theface of Nigeria’s upwelling Information and Communications Technology and intention to produce and uselocally designed and implemented software. The paper calls attention to the nonchalance, dispassion andmass negligence attendant to this issue. It further highlights and calls for adherence to sound ethics at alllevels of software production in the Nigerian society at large. The paper uses a case-study and scenario toillustrate how to start doing so.
