Ubiquitous and Mobile Computing groups the computing pioneers in this atlas whose central, explicitly stated contribution concerns making computing available anywhere, on any device, rather than confined to a desktop workstation. Members range from researchers who founded ubiquitous computing as a named field of study and applied it to real-world settings such as assistive and health technology, through those who built systems for mobile and wearable devices that sense a person's context and adapt to it. This is a named subarea of the ACM Computing Classification System Human-Centered Computing area, distinct from Human-Computer Interaction's narrower interface concerns: a pioneer belongs here when the cited contribution is specifically about computing that follows a person into everyday physical settings and devices, not about a single fixed interface.
