  With the surge in modern research focus towards Pervasive Computing, lot of
techniques and challenges needs to be addressed so as to effectively create
smart spaces and achieve miniaturization. In the process of scaling down to
compact devices, the real things to ponder upon are the Information Retrieval
challenges. In this work, we discuss the aspects of multimedia which makes
information access challenging. An Example Pattern Recognition scenario is
presented and the mathematical techniques that can be used to model uncertainty
are also presented for developing a system that can sense, compute and
communicate in a way that can make human life easy with smart objects assisting
from around his surroundings.
