Abstract
This paper presents a computing approach, called Palpable Computing, complementing and extending Ambient Computing notions and techniques. The main contribution of this paper lies in defining and discussing what role Agent Technology can play in Palpable Computing, and which of its ideas and technical approaches are (or are not) well suited to be adopted as a support for the Palpable Computing vision.
