Editing Smart device (section)

== Characteristics ==
Smart devices are typically composed of a hardware layer (including a radio that transmits signals), a network layer (through which devices communicate with each other), and an application layer (through which end users deliver commands). These layers often include the following characteristics:

* A set of system hardware & software IT resources. This set is usually static, fixed at design time.
* Dynamic component-oriented resource extensions & plug-ins ([[plug and play]]) of some hardware resources.
* Remote external service access and execution.
* Local, internal autonomous service execution.
* Access to specific external environments: human interaction, physical world interaction and distributed ICT / [[virtual computing]] interaction.
* [[Ubiquitous computing|Some ubiquitous computing]] properties.
Common types of smart devices include: 
*''Tab'' and ''pad'' type smart devices that often act as personalized smart mobile devices
* [[Smart environment]] devices.
