>Computing, not computers will characterize the next era of the

>from microscopic embedded devices to giant server farms will be
>woven together with a communication fabric that integrates all of
>today's networks with networks of the future. Adaptive software will
>be self-organizing, self-configuring, robust and renewable. At every
>level and in every conceivable environment, computing will be fully
>integrated with our daily lives.
>Each of the invited participants to this conference can actively
>participate in defining this new era through the use of interactive
