Résumé

The next generation is being built around the human, supporting his or her different roles and groups, automating many important as well as mundane tasks. This technology is called me-centric because it fits into the individual's life in a natural way, conforming to preferences and requirements, taking orders, and performing a variety of delegated tasks. In me-centric, computing, every appliance becomes part of my environment, my team, my extension. Readers will find out about the key technologies that are collectively combining to create these disruptions, how they work, and how they work together.
