Challenges: Reliability & Openness

Systems will communicate and interact in ways thatwere unforeseen during their design

Third parties will contribute components and

subsystems During the system lifetime, parts of the software will be

changed and unknown software will be downloaded

Networking headaches?

Challenge #1

10/22

26 March 2007 Pre-review meeting - Bruxelles

Limited computing power

Despite Moores law, intelligence does require a greatdeal of computing power

Analysis shows that less than 10% of the intelligence

resides in devices Power supply becomes critical

Cost is an issue

Useful only as extremelythin clients

No security model no privacy?

Collection ScaleTo what extent is my life visible to others?

Who can view my data?

Collection MannerHow obviously is data collected?

Collection typeWhat type of data is recorded?

MotivationWhat are the driving forces?

AccessibilityHow does one find anything in this data?
