The convergence of Web technology, wireless networks, and portable client devices provides new design opportunities
for computer/communications systems. In the HP Labs’ “Cooltown” project we have been exploring these opportunities
through an infrastructure to support “web presence” for people, places and things. We put web servers into things like
printers and put information into web servers about things like artwork; we group physically related things into places
embodied in web servers. Using URLs for addressing, physical URL beaconing and sensing of URLs for discovery, and
localized web servers for directories, we can create a location-aware but ubiquitous system to support nomadic users. On
top of this infrastructure we can leverage Internet connectivity to support communications services. Web presence bridges
the World Wide Web and the physical world we inhabit, providing a model for supporting nomadic users without a central
control point.
