The Precautionary Principle in theInformation SocietyEffects of Pervasive Computing onHealth and Environment

Pervasive Computing ist eine zukünftige Anwendungsform von Informations- undKommunikationstechnologien (ICT), die durch Miniaturisierung und Einbettung vonMikroelektronik in andere Objekte sowie ihre Vernetzung und Allgegenwart im Alltaggekennzeichnet ist. Anders als die meisten heutigen ICT-Produkte werden Komponentendes Pervasive Computing mit Sensoren ausgestattet sein, über die sie ihreUmgebung erfassen, ohne dass der Benutzer dies aktiv veranlasst...
