Similarities
1 and 3 both associated with environment
1 and 2 both linked with more devices being used and becoming more common
Differences
2 associated with devices being mobile

4. Ubiquitous computing (or "ubicomp") is a post-desktop model of human-computer interaction in which information processing has been thoroughly ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubiquitous computing
Similarities
1, 2 and 3 all relate to computers being everywhere and being part of the environment
1 and 2 both talk about computers being invisible to the user
Differences
1 talks specifically about it being used in an everyday environment
4 only talks about it being post-desktop. This means that computers will be used in more places, but doesn’t suggest that they would be as common as in 1, 2 and 3
Ambient Computing – Definitions
1. a vision of the future where we are surrounded by electronic environments, sensitive and responsive to people.
mobileman.projects.supsi.ch/glossary.html
2. In computing, ambient intelligence (AmI) refers to electronic environments that are sensitive and responsive to the presence of people. ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambient intelligence
Similarities
Both refer to being surrounded by electronics or computers, with them being part of the environment.
Both talk about computers in the environment, being sensitive and responsive to people and the presence of people.
Differences
None
Disappearing Computing – Definitions
1. To see how information technology can be diffused into everyday objects and settings, and to see how this can lead to new ways of supporting and enhancing people's lives that go above and beyond what is possible with the computer today.

Similarities and Differences between all
Similarities - Pervasive and Ubiquitous
- Computers are more common
- Computers become part of the environment
Similarities - Pervasive and Ambient
- Both associated with being part of the environment
- Computers are open and accessible to everyone
Similarities - Pervasive and Disappearing
- Computers being used in new ways
Similarities - Ubiquitous and Ambient
- Both associated with being part of the environment
- Computers are more common and they are everywhere
Similarities - Ubiquitous and Disappearing
- Computer are invisible to the user or diffused into everyday objects
Similarities - Ambient and Disappearing
- Computers that are interacting with people in new ways
- Ubiquitous Computing talks more about computers being part of the everyday environment and being invisible
Differences - Pervasive and Ambient
- Ambient Computing talks more about the computers being more sensitive and responsive to people or it's users
Differences - Pervasive and Disappearing
- Disappearing Computing talks more about computer's being invisible to the user
Differences - Ubiquitous and Ambient
- Ambient Computing talks more about the computers being more sensitive and responsive to people
Differences - Ubiquitous and Disappearing
- Disappearing Computing focuses more on computing being used in everything without people realising as much
- Ubiquitous Computing focuses more on computers surrounding everyone
Differences - Ambient and Disappearing
- Ambient Computing focuses mostly on computers being sensitive and responsive to it's users
- Disappearing Computing focuses on the users not knowing if something is really there
Pervasive Computing
These show that the technology is being used all around us and that they are creating new types of computing devices.
Ubiquitous Computing
These show that computers are everywhere and that some will be invisible to the user, or they wouldn’t be aware of them being there.
Ambient Computing
Shows new computing devices that would react to the world around us, or other technology around us
Disappearing Computing
Shows technology that the user may not be aware of.
Other
Shows new interactive technology.
