Who Wants to be a CIO? • Fastest finger---put these in the order of priority: • Campus-wide authentication and authorization • Upgrading campus wiring and hardware • Supporting faculty in the use of technology in classroom and laboratory • Defining a funding model for campus IT
Applications Ted Hanss

Haptic control of instruments – University of North Carolina
All Science is Comp Science • Infrastructure expectations • Emerging Grid computing environment • NEESGrid • www.neesgrid.org • GriPhyN • www.griphyn.org • Local computing clusters • Storage, data transfer, etc.
Collaboration Services • Research, teaching, and learning implications • Growth in international collaborations • Mentoring relationships that span institutions • Infrastructure expectations • Classrooms • Meeting venues
Mobile Computing • 802.11a will support streaming video at high quality • 802.11 phones competing with 3G? • Deployment of always connected PDAs • Telemetry information being key to applications
Appliances • What are appliances? • Polycoms, sensors, web cams, … • Challenges • How to manage?
Capture and Display • Capture • Getting to HDTV cheaply • Spatial sound • Voice and motion capture • Display • Auto-stereoscopic • Large plasma displays
Peer-to-Peer • Despite hype, still very much an emerging area • Most examples given are actually client/server applications • Challenges in management • Gnutella searches consume orders of magnitude more bandwidth than actual data transfers.
.edu ASPs • Desire to drive commodity services into the infrastructure • Seeking goals of cost savings, improved reliability, … • Upcoming reports may advocate a “services infrastructure” for the research and education community
Cool Technology I’ve Seen … • NCast --- run a video-enabled seminar from a box • Digital Fountain --- “on demand multicasting” • Teleportec --- “heads up display” for videoconferencing
What Ever Happened To … • Adaptive applications? • Requires end-to-end measurement • Metricom? • Priced too high? Insufficient coverage?

Future Networks –Bigger, Faster, Smarter David L. Wasley University of California
Yes, but • what ever happened to… • LEOS? • Hybrid fiber coax to the home? • QOS? • IPv6? • ATM-over-IP
Wild speculations • Neutrino net - just point and shoot • Detectors the size of the Astrodome !! • Still slower than a modem • Cosmic net • Round trip times are a problem ;-( • Filling the pipe to Andromeda takes 1020 bits • 3x108 meters/sec. - it’s the law! • Even a good lawyer can’t get around that one
Network layer trends • Bigger - everything on-line, all the time • Faster - terabits/sec on single fiber w/in 10 yrs • Smarter - because it has to be • Cheaper? • How much is it worth to you? To business? • Best bet is higher capacity for “constant” dollar • Financial models need to evolve to be rational
Bigger … • WAP in PDAs (e.g. nextgen cellphones) • Miniature IPv6 stack-in-a-matchbox • Monitor operation of equipment, e.g refrig. • Better energy management (e.g. at UCB) • Smart cars • Your “radio” is the wireless hub/router for the car • Can receive and send traffic conditions, etc. • Can it schedule appointments on my calendar and at the garage when maintenance is required… ?-)
Faster • Fiber glut? • Some carriers installing 400-800 strand cables • One strand will carry > 1 terabit/sec. • Will IP be replaced by switched wavelengths? • Optical BGP controls pure optical switches • 55 Mb/s for laptops, classrooms, homes • Cable/DSL box with integrated 802.11a (or better) • Fast mobile IP links • Commuter trains - > 100 mph
Smarter • Roaming • QOS • A few different ‘services’ might be enough • Admission management requires authentication • Network has to participate in stopping abuse • Reverse trace ability (how did the packet get here?) • Automatic blocking at the source • Authentication of all users at the network edge • Must balance privacy and managability
Other possible trends • Rational financial models for network services • Involve the user in cost/benefit decisions • Inter-provider reconciliation • Differential billing based on “distance”? • Always bill the transmitter(?) • The last chance not to send the packet … • Smartcards as access tokens for lots of things • Like phone cards only smarter • Privacy ensured by third party anonymizers
Some campus issues • Issuing and managing digital credentials • Managing access to premium services • Collecting and processing usage data • Continuous enhancement of infrastructure • High speed wireless • Gigabit+ to the desktop • Highly robust infrastructure for critical applications • Outsource all this?
Previous speculations • “The world will only need 4 computers” • “The world will only need 80,000 PCs” • 300 9600 128K 10M 100M is good enough • See also Wasn't the Future Wonderful? : A View of Trends and Technology from the 1930's
