Abstract

Many of the enabling technologies developed by research communities that haven't always communicated with each other historically. But convergence is in the air - and smart objects and controllers require it. As the Web reaches out in the Internet of things, we increasingly add memory, processing, communications, and intelligence capabilities to the things around us. Targeting a world full of smart objects might provide us a clear grand challenge problem that can lead us to the world where everything truly is alive.
