Abstract

Most of the things we deal with in our day-to-day life are invisible from a computer science point of view - they either do not even contain a microprocessor or they do not offer an interface to the outside world, let alone communicate with other devices. Nevertheless, we already are surrounded by a host of devices containing microprocessors of one sort or another. Moreover, we increasingly encounter devices that not only contain an embedded controller or system, but in addition provide an interface for exchanging data with other devices. This situation will lead to an interactive technical environment characterized by ad-hoc networking and spontaneous interaction, all taking place transparently to the human user.
