Application Domains • Networks of sensors & actuators • Embedded systems • Disruption (delay, disconnection)-tolerant • Application-specific networks • Large scale data management / data grid • Real-time data acquisition • Pervasive / ubicomp / mobile • Location-aware
Example Applications (with Social Relevance) • Health monitoring (beyond the home environment) • Disaster recovery • Understanding and affecting the planet in real-time • Digital life • Managing vast personal data • Controlled sharing, long-term, finding • Managing the auto commute • Medical accidents = 0
Security Privacy Usability Permanence Availability Flexibility Adaptability Self-* Control Timeliness Programmability of lots of devices The “Ilities”
Hard Research Problems“What don’t we know how to do?” • 106 plug-and-play devices • Balancing security and usability and flexibility • Policy expression • Integrating evolution into our distributed systems • 5 9’s • Exobyte personal storage • Projection of the physical world into the digital world • Finding stuff – to search everything
