Abstrakt: People are an intrinsic part of a Disappearing Computer environment; it is their actions and behavior, their wishes and needs that shape the environment. People have always been building "ecologies" in their living spaces, by selecting objects and then arranging them in ways that best serve their activities and their self-expression. According to the Ambient Intelligence (AmI) vision (ISTAG 2006) people will be able to build more advanced "ecologies", also known as UbiComp applications, by configuring and using "augmented" objects; these objects may be totally new ones or updated versions of existing ones. An important new aspect of AmI environments is the merging of physical and digital spaces, i.e. tangible objects and physical environments are acquiring digital representations. The traditional computer disappears in the environment, as the everyday objects in it become augmented with Information and Communication Technology (ICT) components (i.e. sensors, actuators, processor, memory, communication modules, etc.) and can receive, store, process and transmit information, thus becoming AmI objects.
