that disappear. They weave themselves
into the fabric of everyday life until they
are indistinguishable from it

Conclusions
Ubiquitous computing and networking arecharacterized by invisibility, proactive context-awareness/adaptation, and near fieldnetwork/mobility.
It requires a new paradigm of managementamong others, such as ubiquitous interfacemanagement, context management, fusionmanagement, privacy/security management,and FCAPS.
Standards, laws, sociological impact and otherenvironment factors need to be addressedaccordingly.
