sensors, devices, networks and information are paving the way towards a smart
world in which computational intelligence is distributed throughout the
physical environment to provide reliable and relevant services to people. This
ubiquitous intelligence will change the computing landscape because it will
enable new breeds of applications and systems to be developed and the realm of
computing possibilities will be significantly extended. By enhancing everyday
objects with intelligence, many tasks and processes could be simplified, more
efficient and more enjoyable. Ubiquitous computing is to create such
intelligent/smart environments, services and applications.</span></p>
