Abstract
One emerging worldwide vision of communication is that wireless communications and ambient intelligence will be highly advantageous in satisfying our yearning for information at any time and anywhere. Electronics that is sensitive to people’s needs, personalized to their requirements, anticipatory of their behavior and responsive to their presence is one visionary conception of ambient intelligence [1]. Ambient intelligence technologies are expected to combine concepts of ubiquitous computing and intelligent systems. Technological breakthroughs will allow people to integrate electronics into more friendly environments: roll-up displays [2], intelligent mobiles [3], internet-enabled furniture [4]. People will relate to electronics in a more natural and comfortable way than they do now.
