Bridging the e-gaps: towards post-ubiquitous computing

Abstract

We have been working on research and development of advanced network and applications called "flexible computing". We are now in the next stage of this research, strongly pressing forward the concept of flexible computing, namely, "symbiotic computing", towards next generation computing model based on co-existence of real space and digital space. In this paper, we explain basic concepts, architecture and enabling technologies of symbiotic computing that we are aiming to develop.
