Global Smart Spaces

Global smart spaces extend the vision of pervasive computing, in which everyday objects communicate and collaborate to provide information and services to users, to large geographical areas. They extend the notion of objects cooperating in a home or an office to the level of towns, cities, and even countries by integrating a variety of sensor-based and other systems to provide truly pervasive context-aware services. Such global smart environments will be heterogeneous as they likely will comprise a multitude of sensors, networks, and ultimately systems. read more
