  1. NBN: The hunt for “silver bullets”and“killer apps”i.e. it’s now about tools for apps & use, stupid. Gordon Bell Principal Researcher Microsoft Research, Silicon Valley Laboratory

  2. Observation, bias, and challenge • NBN is: Cloud Services as the Silver Bullets. It’s:“Continuous Services” for “Cloud Connected Devices”. • “The Cloud” will drive the NBN • Poster apps e.g. energy grid, education & health are Application, content,data rights limited… look elsewhere • NBN requires new ventures and new usesIt’s now up to engineers, scientists, and entrepreneurs • NBN success should or will be judged by new ventures… and their payoff

  3. NBN: fiber/wireless net connecting mobile and fixed clients to a cloud computing infrastructure for applications & content NBN Mobile Clients Cloud Computing: Services & Content Fixed Clients & Client Nets Television Content

  4. Computer person’s view of NBN:“Continuous Services i.e. apps & Client Connected Devices” Cloud Computing: Services & Content Mobile Clients Connected Devices NBN Fixed Clients & Client Nets Television Content

  5. Outline • NBN from computing perspective: It’s the cloud • The Internet was built for Research… got the Web! • The Cloud” is the next computer class…Bell’s Law • The Internet of Things (& Phones) create the demand • Science apps are critical: 4thparadigm • Engineering apps pay the bills:CSIRO Tasmanian sensor net • Health: is a cloud app … some day • Entrepreneur's & Services. Surveillance, lifelogging, etc. • Tele-x. Sarnoff’s, Metcalfe’s (Vail’s), & Reed’s Laws e.g. face2facebook. Tele-”n”-vision for sports, health

  8. A tale of two approaches • NBN US: Massive study re. competition & plan. Result: Let the market build it. • NBN Oz: Minimal study & plan. Result: Just do it.

  10. Recalling 1995: First Internet World Keynote… 1,000 attendees Prediction of post www with fiber. The worlds of TV, telecom, and data collide

  11. Net History: Story of Serendipity • ARPAnetc1970 goals: • rlogin; load-, program-, and data-sharing… cost-motivated • Got: • rlogin (remote login) • mail plus as a service carrier.... • bbs/news/chat/muds/moos • ftp (file transfer protocol) and • rpc enabled distributed computing

  12.

  13. Video & Convergence…Finally • 90% traffic is video; Neflix 30%, YouTube 20, Bittorent • $1000 Bet: Nat Barrie asserts that by January 2013, the majority of video will come via computer versus conventional TV Broadcast channels that include cable e.g. Foxtel digital and over-the-air channels. • Computer channels include all the video content that is store and forward, on demand e.g. ABC on line, Hulu, Netflix, YouTube via all the digital IP streams e.g.  WiFi, Cable Modems, ADSL, NBN fiber.

  14. The TV “cable bundle” in your hand…

  15. The Cloud is a New Computer Class • “The Cloud” comes in various sizes, shapes, and ownership and rental models • It is so important that nearly all research has to be “cloud washed”

  16. Bell’s Law of Computer Classes… Where we are goingEvery Decade a new class emerges and some die • Every decade a new, lower (1/10th) cost class of computers emerge to cover cyberspace with a • New computing platform • New Interface to humans or something in physical world, “stuff” • New networking and/or interconnect structure • New classes  new apps  new industries • The classes… a decade in price every decade • ‘60s $millions mainframes (central) • ‘70s $10K-100K minis • ‘80s $10K workstations and PCs (personal) • ‘90s $1K The Internet PCs • ‘00s $100s Smartphones & the “cloud” Services … XaaS • ‘10s $10 “the cloud” & small clients (central & person) “The Internet of Things”, WSNs, sensors • ?? ? In body, implantable everything. • ??? ? “the singularity” computers > human

  17. Cloud Computing c2010 … XaaS

  18. ATSE Cloud Computing. Sept. 2010 R1The Commonwealth Government should …ensure a supportive regulatory environment. R2The Commonwealth Government’s Commercialisation …should actively encourage new businesses that are cloud-focused at internet-scale applications. R3The Commonwealth Department of Broadband Communications …to ensure that unnecessary impediments to the uptake of Cloud Computing are minimised. R4Australian universities should expand … to build knowledge and skills in cloud computing. R5 The Commonwealth Government should create and fund an Australian equivalent of the NSF’s Cluster Exploratory Programand the NSF-Microsoft Program to actively encourage cloud computing. R6 The National Research Infrastructure Council (NRIC) should refine its investment plans to reflect the benefits that cloud computing can provide. R7The Commonwealth Government should ensure that proposals for research data storage using Super Science funds have evaluated cloud computing services.

  20. The Internet of Things= Smart World… devices for health, energy, science, etc. • Things: appliances, platforms, peripherals, WSNs,… phones that have been evolving for decades • Anything, Anytime, Anywhere, Anyway, Always Applications: • Mostly mobile phones, the foreseeable future • scientific sensors for transforming science • networks monitoring and control—water, traffic, power, health/wellness, earth science, … smart(x)

  26. Science and Engineering Apps… • The Fourth Paradigm of scientific discovery • Science and Engineering are both real time • Science closed loop is o(years to decades) • Engineering is for sensing and immediate control

  32. Magnetotelluric (MT) imaging • Using the magnetic and electric fields of the earth, MT imaging determines the resistivity structure of a sub-surface area of interest. • It goes deeper (hundred or so Km) than seismic (<2 Km) but does not have the same resolution • Applications • mineral exploration, • water management in mining, • geothermal exploration, • carbon storage, • aquifer research and management • earthquake and volcano studies. (Heinson and Mudge, 2010) A platform technology

  33. Massive parallel processing - peak demand - interactive control-field deployment Parallel programming models are at • Program level • Express data parallelism in MapReduce/Hadoop/DryadLINQ • Job level • Workflow languages define concurrent execution Restructuring of MT processing steps and pulling all parameter inputs to the start, results in parallel processing of station data, and better workflow • Ultimately field deployment at many sites

  37. The “killer app”… Health!—my favoritedear to my heart

  38. Sensors with IP On Everything

  39. Cloud service, =1 million mammograms* • Cost of store Amazon $US 0.125 / GB-month • $1.50 / GB-year; $0.15 / 100 MB-year (person) • $150,000 per million person-years • Cost of long term storage will decline • Access is fully distributed, including • Digital X-ray capture stations (2 min. upload/download) • Reading stations can be anywhere, including computers and services in the cloud • Legacy X-ray digitization as needed • Secondary, yet principal benefit: analytics based on age, wt., location, … • * Proposed at AEHR Conference 31 March 2009

  46. Smartphones are becoming “the” Personal Healthcare Platform--Mainframe Where was I, what was I doing, who was I with, (what meeting) when I had a high HR or high stress indicator ?

  47. When will health adopt the cloud? • Health is all about friction* and preserving it • Many other NON NBN, NON Technology factors e.g. privacy, standards, proprietary interfaces, n-opolies, guilds aka silos, vocabularies,… • Cloud service is inevitable for EHR<>Physician • *People doing the same old thing, the same old way that creates social stability at rising cost
