Intro:
"
Continued advances in information technologies are enabling a
growing number of physical devices to be imbued with
computing and communications capabilities. Aircraft, cars,
household appliances, cellular telephones, and health monitoring
devices all contain microprocessors that are being linked with
other information processing devices. Such examples represent
only the very beginning of what is possible. As microprocessors
continue to shrink, wireless radios are also becoming more
powerful and compact. As the cost of these and related
technologies continues to decrease, computing and
communications technologies will be embedded into everyday
objects of all kinds to allow objects to sense and react to their
changing environments. Networks comprising thousands or
millions of sensors could monitor the environment, the
battlefield, or the factory floor; smart spaces containing
hundreds of smart surfaces and intelligent appliances could
provide access to computational resources.
