Abstract

Due to “Moore’s Law” [33.20] we have been witnessing an exponential increase in processing power, disk capacity and network bandwidth for more than four decades. Fueled by the underlying exponential increase in circuit density, which is expected to continue for at least another decade, it becomes economically feasible to build pervasive systems.
