Architecture and Prototype of an Ambient Computational Environment

Abstract

This Final Report describes the performer's effort of the design, development and initial prototype implementation of an Ambient Computational Environment (ACE). The concept began with the idea that computation resources, in the broadest sense, are readily available in our offices, conference rooms, auditoriums, and hallways. Users co-opt, with authorization, the computational resources within their proximate area. Users access computational services that are long-lived and extremely robust.
