Abstract

This special issue on Ambient Semantic Computing (ASC) proposes a particular approach to the dawning era of computing where computers leave the desktop and surround us everywhere. ASC is related to the terms Ubiquitous Computing, Pervasive Computing, and Ambient Intelligence --- each of these terms is claimed by their protagonists to be a superset of the others, but they all turn out to be synonymous after a close inspection of the actual approaches used and results achieved under either of these headlines. ASC is not intended to become yet another synonymous term; rather, it is an invitation to combine Semantic Computing --- the very topic of this journal --- with the abovementioned synonymous fields in a particularly fruitful way. In our introduction to this special issue, we will first provide an overview of ASC and then position the enclosed three articles within the ASC landscape.
