“…Lithography, in various forms is one of the most widely spread forms of this top down method, indeed, the computer or mobile phone that is in the vicinity or on the person of the reader is sure to have numerous circuit boards which were printed utilising a lithographic process. Techniques such as photolithography have been an integral part of the fabrication process of microchips in the computing industry for 50 years [ 7 ], with the dimensions of the circuits on the chips getting smaller and smaller in accordance with Moore's law, which predicts that computing circuits should double in power or half in size every 18 months [ 8 ]. It may surprise the reader as to the degree to which this form of nanotechnology is incorporated into everyday life.…”

“…Although, as we shall see, the two drivers are not independent, it is the econmic drivers that always dominate. As Bob Noyce, cofounder of Intel, wrote in 1977 [8] "…further miniaturization is less likely to be limited by the laws of physics than by the laws of economics. "…”

The goal of this paper is to discuss the technical and economic drivers of Moore's Law, with special emphasis on their interdependence. These drivers can be classified as "push" (technology improvements push us down the Moore's Law path) and "pull" (economic incentives create increasing chip production volumes which drive the technology learning curve). In fact, Moore's Law can be considered as an instance of general learning curve theory, which places a special importance on the role of increasing chip volumes on the slope of Moore's Law. After a general review of the history of Moore's Law, its relevance today is described in terms of transistor shrinks rather than increasing functions per chip. The challenges required for the continuation of Moore's Law are presented.

“…This regularity, which is known as Moore's law [2], seems to hold a self-fulfilling prophecy because the semiconductor industry has followed it already for more than three decades. Also, other characteristic quantities of information processing systems, such as communication bandwidth, storage capacity, and cost per bit of input-output communication seem to follow similar rules.…”

Summary. Ambient intelligence (AmI) is a novel concept for embedded computing that builds on the large-scale integration of electronic devices into peoples' surroundings and the ubiquitous availability of digital information to the users of such environments. The concept however is not only concerned with the integration of computing in the background but, as a direct result of the disappearing computer and the corresponding interaction technologies, it calls for novel means of control that support the natural and intelligent use of such smart environments, emphasizing predominantly social aspects. As the familiar box-like devices are replaced by hidden functions embedded in the surroundings, the classical meaning and implication of security and trust needs to be revisited in the context of ambient intelligence. In this chapter, we briefly revisit the foundations of the AmI vision by addressing the role of AmIware, which refers to the basic and enabling AmI technologies, and by presenting some basic definitions of ambient intelligence. Next we discuss the meaning and role of persuasion on the basis of models and theories for motivation originating from cognitive science. Notions such as compliance and ambient journaling are used to develop an understanding of the concept of ambient persuasion. We also address the ethics of ambient intelligence from the point of view of a number of critical factors such as trust and faith, crossing boundaries, and changing realities. The chapter concludes with a summary of findings and some final remarks. IntroductionRecent technological advances have enabled the miniaturization of embedded hardware thus facilitating the large-scale integration of electronic devices into peoples' backgrounds. In addition, novel interaction concepts have been developed that support the natural and intelligent use of such systems, emphasizing the social aspects of the technology embedding. The resulting computing paradigm, which is called ambient intelligence (AmI), provides users with new means to increase their productivity, increase their well-being, or enhance their expressiveness [1].
