We present the iDorm which is an experimental test bed for ubiquitous computing environments research at Essex University. The iDorm is equipped with a number of passive and intelligent embedded agents with different capabilities and restrictions. In this work we define a passive agent as an embedded computer that delivers purely sensory information, whereas the intelligent embedded agents are embedded-computers enhanced with intelligent reasoning and learning.
