Intel Presents Vision of Proactive Computing
On Monday at the Intel Developers Forum in San Jose California (August 27-30, 2001), Intel presented information on its proactive computing research. The research is being conducted in collaboration with several universities and seems to be centered around networks and technologies. Some of the language was interesting, specifically around the notion of putting humans on top of a device hierarchy. There was apparently a lot of focus on public safety and computers acting in advance of need for the well being of humans. And then there was some discussion about an interplanetary component and a four-node network planned for Mars. Confused? Me too. This could be going in many directions, but just might be a great piece of work. Check out this streaming video presentation by David Tennenhouse, University of Washington on Proactive Computing.
