This document discusses how printed electronics technology can enable ubiquitous sensing network (USN) services. It begins with an introduction and overview of printed electronics. It then discusses several potential applications of the technology, including future internet/consumer applications, energy efficient buildings, and factories of the future. Specific use cases are described for each application area. The document also covers topics like technology comparisons and the role of digital content in enabling new services and devices. In general, the document argues that printed electronics can support the development of integrated smart systems and ubiquitous sensing networks through lower-cost manufacturing approaches.
