Google also has a developer conference: to make Android cross-platform big one

The Google I/O Developers Conference will not be its only developer conference this year. The company has announced that it will hold a Ubiquitous Computing Summit in San Francisco this fall. The theme of the summit will be cross-platform development of Android software, which is the concept of a unified system for different platforms.

Pervasive Computing name is a bit confusing, but the summit will use the Android software as the core in a number of different devices. The theme should be a discussion of the user experience between smartphones, tablets, TVs, smart watches or car infotainment systems. For developers, this means that the same software should run on different platforms without writing new code. Google’s developers said the summit will also focus on context-aware applications, such as when applications should know when, where, and how to respond. As a goal, the summit strives to come up with a set of guiding concepts for developing such software.
If this topic sounds familiar, it is because Google has been discussing Ubiquitous Computing for the past few years. Android lollipops and previous jelly beans are portrayed as an attempt to take advantage of the Android-based cross-device platform experience. In addition, in the past year, Google has unified the Android software development kit. Microsoft has also been looking for a unified system of its device software. At Microsoft's Build conference, Microsoft has released Windows 10, a unified concept. Not only PCs, smartphones, tablets and even Xbox will use the Windows 10 platform.
