“"The-computer-as-we-know-it" will have no role in our future everyday lives. This is the position taken in this book which elaborates how it will be replaced by a new generation of technologies, moving computing off the desktop and ultimately integrating it with real world objects and everyday environments. Computing becomes thus an inseparable part of our everyday activities while simultaneously disappearing into the background. It becomes a ubiquitous utility taking on a role similar to electricity – an enabling but invisible and pervasive medium revealing its functionality on request in an unobtrusive way and supporting people’s everyday activities. As members of the Steering Group of the EU-funded "Disappearing Computer" research initiative, the editors of this book successfully assembled a collection of 13 elaborate chapters and three forewords that address the issues and challenges in this area. All authors are prominent researchers who set out investigating, developing and deploying future, people-centered smart environments. This book provides a unique combination of concepts, methods and prototypes of ubiquitous and pervasive computing reflecting the current interest in smart environments and ambient intelligence.”

Christopoulou, Eleni and Kameas, Achilles (2005): GAS Ontology: An ontology for collaboration among ubiquitous computing devices. In International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 62 (5) pp. 664-685

“The vision of ubiquitous computing is that the addition of computation and communication abilities to the artefacts that surround people will enable the users to set up their living spaces in a way that will serve them best minimising at the same time the required human intervention. The ontologies can help us to address some key issues of ubiquitous computing environments such as knowledge representation, semantic interoperability and service discovery. The GAS Ontology is an ontology that was developed in order to describe the semantics of the basic concepts of a ubiquitous computing environment and define their inter-relations. The basic goal of this ontology is to provide a common language for the communication and collaboration among the heterogeneous devices that constitute these environments. The GAS Ontology also supports the service discovery mechanism that a ubiquitous computing environment requires. In this paper, we present the GAS Ontology as well as the design challenges that we faced and the way that we handled them. In order to select the language and the tool that we used for the development of the GAS Ontology, we designed a prototype ontology and evaluated a number of languages and tools. The ontology development tool that proved to be the most suitable from this evaluation was Protege-2000. We also present how we use the GAS Ontology in our eGadgets project achieving semantic interoperability and service discovery. Finally, we present the GAS Ontology manager, which runs on each device, manages the device's ontology and processes the knowledge that each device acquires over time.”

“ Software design is the act of determining the user's experience with a piece of software. It has nothing to do with how the code works inside, or how big or small the code is. The designer's task is to specify completely and unambiguously the user's whole experience. ”

-- David Liddle, From Bringing Design to Software, edited by Terry Winograd, 1996 ”
