First published 2006
Smart Environments brings together the field's most accomplished researchers to examine how we develop and inhabit intelligent spaces. Cook structures the collection around the multidisciplinary challenges that define smart environment design. The contributors explore philosophical frameworks and computational architecture decisions that shape these systems. They detail network protocols specifically engineered for smart environments and examine how intelligent sensor networks integrate with powerline device control. The research extends into action prediction and identification technologies. Cook's compilation addresses both the technical foundations and the human experience of living within responsive environments. The book offers readers comprehensive insights into the convergence of computing, networking, and human behavior that makes intelligent environments possible.
