Abstract

Forget processing power, memory, or the size of computers for a moment: Sensors, and the data they provide, are as important as any of these factors in realising ubiquitous and pervasive computing. Sensors have already become influential components in newer applications, but their data needs to be used more intelligently if we want to unlock their true potential. This requires improved ways to design and integrate sensors in computer systems, and interpret their signals.
