Title	Protean Living Project
Summary	Exploring technologies to enable Ambient Intelligent Environments.
Description	The Protean Living Project is exploring technologies to enable Ambient Intelligent Environments (AIE). An ambient intelligent environment is one in which a network of devices seamlessly cooperate to simplify daily tasks. Today, a host technologies exist to make an AIE feasible, however there exists much work to be done to make an AIE usable, mainly adaptability, interoperability, personalization, and ease of use. In Greek mythology, Proteus is an early sea-god, one of several deities whom Homer calls the "Old Man of the Sea." He can foretell the future, but will change his shape to avoid having to; he will answer only to someone who is capable of capturing him. From this feature of Proteus comes the adjective protean, with the general meaning of "versatile", "mutable", "capable of assuming many forms," with connotations of flexibility, versatility and adaptability.
