Panel description: Towards new roles and system architecture supporting the full life cycle of smart spaces

Summary form only given. A complete record of the panel discussion was not made available for publication as part of the conference proceedings. The expert panelists will present their views and experiences covering questions including, 1. What are the new individual roles engaged in building and maintaining pervasive spaces, and how are they inter-related? What are the boundaries of responsibilities for each role? 2. Developing and deploying a pervasive space is a multi-disciplined process where knowledge from various domains intersects. How can individual roles efficiently contribute their expertise and smoothly integrate their work to create a pervasive space? 3. How does system design and architecture enable effective decoupling of these roles? 4. Who has the business incentives to invest in the standards, open source, and product implementations that support the new roles and system architectures needed to support the full life cycle of pervasive spaces?
