Envision the situation that high quality information and entertainment is easily accessible to anyone, anywhere, at any time, and on any device. How realistic is this vision? And what does it require from the underlying technology?
Ambient Intelligence (AmI) integrates concepts ranging from ubiquitous computing to autonomous and intelligent systems. An AmI environment will be highly dynamic in many aspects. Underlying technology must be very flexible to cope with this dynamism. Scalability of technology is only one crucial aspect. This paper explores scalability from the processing, the communication, and the software perspectives.
