Definitions of pervasive computing on the Web:

The trend towards an information environment in which users have access to ICTs throughout the environment. ...http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=X&start=1&oi=define&q=http://www.parliament.vic.gov.au/SARC/E-Democracy/Final_Report/Glossary.htm&usg=AFQjCNFzKOjReq38vrP2dYy1ypHdaYIE1A
An environment in which computers are taken out of stand-alone boxes to which we are tied and put into ordinary things, in everyday objects around us. Also called ubiquitous computing.www.telecombooksblog.com/telecom-glossary/
Definitions of ubiquitous computing on the Web:
New types of computers invisibly embedded into our everyday environment. Rather than explicitly being the "user" of a computer a human ...http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=X&start=0&oi=define&q=http://www.ortlos.org/code&usg=AFQjCNE19pEhU6REnUgWM1Be2W2TQB2pQg
computers everywhere. Making many computers available throughout the physical envirnment, while making them effectively invisible to the user.mobileman.projects.supsi.ch/glossary.html
invisible, everywhere computing that does not sit on the desktop but lies deep inside the environment we live inhttp://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=X&start=2&oi=define&q=http://www.course.com/downloads/computerscience/invitationjava/keyterms7.htm&usg=AFQjCNFnnK5M07KTfYoDFRgo9_WmtS-lCQ
computing that is omnipresent and is, or appears to be, everywhere all the time; may involve many different computing devices that are embedded in various devices or appliances and operate in the background.http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=X&start=3&oi=define&q=http://www.mansfieldct.org/Schools/MMS/Palms/Meet_the_Team/Glossary.htm&usg=AFQjCNHrLHeUpS4UnEA9bGD02s0YJMLyJw
Ubiquitous computing is a model of computing in which computer functions are integrated into everyday life, often in an invisible way. The model requires both small, inexpensive computers and wired and wireless ("dumb") devices connected to larger computers. ...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubiquitous computing
Disappearing Computing:
'The vision of disappearing computing is that computing entities become an effective part of our environment, supporting our lives without our continual direction, so that we can be largely unaware of them,' explained Robin to the audience at the BCS' London offices. http://www.bcs.org/server.php?show=ConWebDoc.3252
It seems apparent that there are fine lines between pervasive, ubiquitous and disappearing computing. All of these definitions point at the same idea, which is to intergrate computer systems into all aspects of our physical world, rather than localising computer use soley around desktop computers. This ranges from the heavier use of mobile networking to the daily use of computer systems in a normally less automated world (i.e using an automated checkout at the supermarket). Whilst pervasive and ubiquitous computing may be obvious to every day users, the aim of the disappearing computing vision is to make this integration far more transient and smooth.
