Abstract
The significant technological advances in hardware miniaturisation and data communications change the landscape of computing in a profound way. A rich variety of sensing, storage and processing nodes will soon be embedded in artefacts and clothes worn by people. Numerous computing elements will be integrated in appliances, furniture, buildings, public spaces and vehicles. It now becomes possible to move beyond the physical but also mental boundaries of the desktop, and to develop novel forms of computing that will efficiently support people in their daily activities without constantly being in the center of their attention.
