The low cost and the shrinking size of sensors as well as the ease of deployment will aid AmI
research efforts for rapid prototyping. Evidently, a sensor combined with unique biometric
identifiers is becoming more frequently utilized in accessing systems and supposedly
provides proof of a person’s identity and thus accountability for subsequent actions.
For us to explore these new AmI technologies, it is easiest to investigate a scenario related to
ubiquitous computing in an AmI environment.
