And in 2011, a (still) new paradigm: the Cloud • “A large-scale distributed computing paradigm that is driven by economies of scale, in which a pool of abstracted, virtualized, dynamically-scalable, managed computing power, storage, platforms, and services are delivered on demand to external customers over the Internet” • Amazon, Google, Microsoft… even L’Oréal ! • Everything as a service • Infrastructure as a service • Platform as a service • Software as a service • Behind the scene: a grid • Do not worry, be happy: the cloud takes care of your all your digital activities • Issue: digital activity, digital life, life ? • For the first time in the history of mankind, some[body, thing] can know everything about your life: your professional data, your friends, the movies/the leisure you like, your friends, your political opinions, your mood… Master course - Lyon, 2011-2012 - 24/09/2014

« Vision »: « Calm Technology » • « The most profound technologies are those that disappear. They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it » • [The objective of pervasive computing is to ] “ … make a computer so imbedded, so fitting, so natural, that we use it without even thinking about it.” • “Ubiquitous (pervasive) computing is roughly the opposite of virtual reality. Where virtual reality puts people inside a computer-generated world, ubiquitous computing forces the computer to live out here in the world with people.” • « A new way of thinking about computers in the world, one that takes into account the natural human environment and allows the computers themselves to vanish in the background » Mark Weiser, Xerox PARC, 1991- Master course - Lyon, 2011-2012 - 24/09/2014
Vision (Cont’d) • [M. Satyanarayanan, 2001] • Pervasive computing environment = « one saturated with computing and communication capability, yet so gracefully integrated with users that it becomes ‘a technology that disappears’ » • So: • “Smart” spaces • “Invisibility” and transparency • Scalability Master course - Lyon, 2011-2012 - 24/09/2014
Visions (Cont’d)) • « I just want to use these f… so-called smart objects/appliances/… » • « I want to get rid of the software/hardware/network organization/structure: I just want to access my personal data and the data I need what ever the place /when ever the time • « Put down the barriers »: no network interconnection pb, no computer administration frontiers • What about security/privacy ??? Master course - Lyon, 2011-2012 - 24/09/2014
Visions (Summary) • The « object-subject » is actor (a first-class citizen) of the system • smart objects / smart everything • active objects • « Intelligence » is, at first, the « network » i.e., the ability to exchange information • « Intelligence », is also the ability to self-adapt to the user profile and the context (« context awareness »), to weave into the environment • « Ego » is part of the context • « Intelligence », finally, is the ability to organize: • autonomously (autonomic computing, self healing…) • spontaneously Ecosystem Master course - Lyon, 2011-2012 - 24/09/2014

Comp. for tomorrow… maybe(Cont’d) • U-Society • People to People (P2P): Facebook on your cell phone • People to Object (P2O): Pachube • Geopositioned Services: App Store • Spimes (Bruce Sterling) ? • « Hypermatter » (Bernard Stiegler) ? • Do-IOT-Yourself: Arduino / Fab Lab ? Master course - Lyon, 2011-2012 - 24/09/2014
Back to the « vision »: the Cloud • An old dream: Computing as a utility (John Mac Carthy: “Computation may someday be organized as a public utility” (1961)) • A supposed to be user centered vision • managing a computer is exhausting • the user does not care about the system components: the user just want his problem to be solved • eliminate the burden of the software/hardware management • allow the user benefit from economies of scale • A business vision • a small set of computing power providers • a global market • an integrated « hyper-market »: computing, entertainment, learning ? • for the best of the big companies Master course - Lyon, 2011-2012 - 24/09/2014
