Abstract

The ongoing miniaturization of electronic circuits and the corresponding exponential increase in embedded computational power is reaching the point where it becomes viable to integrate electronics into people environments. Ambient intelligence refers to an electronic environment that is sensitive and responsive to the presence of people. Such an environment should be (1) ubiquitous: surrounding the user by a multitude of interconnected systems; (2) transparent: integrated and hidden into the background; (3) intelligent: adapting to the people that live in it. The potential to distribute functionality over a network of devices is determined by the power resources of the device and upon considering these demands it appears helpful to further classify in-home ambient intelligence "devices" into three distinct classes: the "watt-node", "milli-watt-node", and "micro-watt-node". In this paper we try to map the system needs associated with these nodes, differing by orders of magnitude with respect to the amount of information to be processed as well as the available power, on to requirements for Si process technology choices.

关于环境智能、必需品和过程技术

电子电路的持续小型化和相应的嵌入式计算能力的指数级增长正在达到将电子设备集成到人类环境中的可行点。环境智能是指对人的存在敏感并作出反应的电子环境。这样的环境应该是(1)无处不在的:由大量相互连接的系统围绕用户;(2)透明:融入并隐藏在背景中;(3)智能化:适应生活在其中的人。在设备网络上分配功能的潜力取决于设备的电源资源，考虑到这些需求，将家庭环境智能“设备”进一步分为三个不同的类别似乎是有帮助的:“瓦节点”，“毫瓦节点”和“微瓦节点”。在本文中，我们试图将与这些节点相关的系统需求映射到Si工艺技术选择的要求上，这些需求在要处理的信息量以及可用功率方面存在数量级差异。
