Page 2 of 2 There can be no doubting that the period under
investigation did, indeed, herald many important change and
developments. In particular the emergence of states, which in and of
itself involved finding new ways to organise production as well as
consumption."By investigating many crafts, we explore the impact different technologies had on each other" she says, continuing "the researchers will apply their understanding of knowledge transfer in antiquity to propose new computing paradigms based on code and data mobility over wide area networks." Aha, all is becoming a little less cloudy. Because these kind of global ubiquitous computing models provide them means for software components to use whatever resources are available in other nodes, as well as more reliable distribution channels enabled by better connectivity, the idea is to study how ancient craft-production and exchange was connected. "We aim to find good metaphors for new modalities of interaction and production in global ubiquitous computing" Professor Foxhall concludes "By harnessing the past, we aim to find new solutions for future computational systems that can operate in resource-limited environments."
