Abstract
This chapter is based on work carriedout for the Eurescom project PI302 — PROFIT (Potential Profit Opportunities in the Future Ambient Intelligence World). The vision driving iSpaces is described in many different ways, e.g. ubiquitous computing [1], pervasive computing [2], ambient intelligence [3]. Based largely on expected developments in information and communications technology, it has three main aspects:
-
pervasive communications;
-
ubiquitous sensors and actuators;
-
embedded intelligence.
