Co-operation in the Digital Age — Engendering Trust in Electronic Environments

  • Chapter
Book cover Intelligent Spaces

Part of the book series: Computer Communications and Networks ((CCN))

Abstract

Mark Weiser had a vision of ubiquitous computing that was motivated by his belief that profound technologies disappear into the physical environment that surrounds us [1]. This vision has become a reality. Fewer than 2% of all microprocessors sold go into conventional PCs, the vast majority of the remainder becoming part of embedded systems, although few of these are currently networked. It is not, however, difficult to foresee that the efforts aimed at overcoming the inherent complexities in producing truly ubiquitous networked systems are most likely to bear fruit in the short to medium term.
