Chapter 5. Me-Centric Architectures
Introduction
As mentioned in Chapter 2, today’s computing architecture is built according to the OSI model,[1] which focuses on the hardware and supporting technologies rather than the user. In order to realize a true me-centric computing environment, machines must understand users, not the other way around.
Have a look at Figure 5.1. Here you can see how the future computing model should look. It centers around the user. Through smart human-computer interfaces, users will communicate with intelligent appliances that were built for a specific purpose. Depending on the machine’s capabilities, a given task can be executed by the appliances autonomously or can pass on certain subtasks to Web services on the Internet. ...
