Clouds and Mists: 1st Cloud

Opened vast doors to creativity

Defined by access Familiar as the internet Result of a nexus: PC, backbone, ISPs Web

SLIDE 3

Clouds and Mists: 2nd Cloud

An infinite back-end

Hosting of virtual processes and storage Enabled by

  • - fine-grained accountability
  • - agency (trust)

Centered around composition and specialization: Using common resources and standard utilities Simple cost equation, manageable harder issues

Clouds and Mists: 3rd Cloud

Social and Public Environment

Defined by Interaction Bandwidth between people and processes Result of a nexus: Sensors, Mobility, lightweight but not flyweight nodes Portable identity

Just-In-Time Social Networks

A mix of present and virtual social influences

  • Anonymous, individuals, groups affect people in different

ways

  • Prototypes developed and experiments deployed via smart

phones in restaurant, campus and consumer electronics contexts

Intra-app annotations

What agents do:

  • Represent humans and objects
  • Run in the cloud
  • Form a decentralized architecture
  • Act as proxy for your context

EGO: Agency, locality

Ego powers the “Glass Infrastructure”

Messaging: An example

connec3ons

SMS: Runs on all phones Foreground operation No signup Sort-of free Wedded to phones Requires account Gateways to gardens

Messaging

Connection-free; there is no who

Twitter: Device independent Groups, broadcasts, direct No phone number Works with things Automatic linking via apps Free Sign-up inertia Critical mass: Multi-tasking mobile device

Messaging

Twitter or Jabber protocols: Open architecture admits to open solutions Receipts and transactions Beyond NFC Things Places

Clearing the fog

A better taxonomy of clouds that can inform an analysis of the value chain A discussion of the architecture underneath the services (locality v. centralized, addressing…) A broader definition of what we mean as stakeholders (places, enterprises, media, industries) A “Networked view” and system dynamics view of who can move where Applications that push the edge

Edge-core debates revisited

Messaging

Cost versus profit center Resilience versus reliability (eg Google) Always connected versus not (R&R, again, dropbox)

Environmental Questions

  • “Design motility for a city you want to live in”
  • “Design an information system that shows

guests the ideas behind the visible work”

  • “Make a phone we want to use…”
