9. Future Internet
Current/emerging problems and opportunities
• Current Internet was never designed to be a critical
part of an economy’s infrastructure
• Net-delivered services are reshaping the world
(search, media, games, social networking, etc.)
• Tripling of the number of people connected (1.5 3B)
• Addition of billions—perhaps even hundreds of
billions—of devices (sensors, tags, micro controllers)
• User generated content leads to a massive increase
of creative flow of content and processes
• Balance the perceived need for control with the
creativity that spawns innovation—and profit?
• Towards tethered appliances or generative
technology?

15. Internet of Services
Vision
A multitude of connected IT services,
which are offered, bought, sold,
used, repurposed, and composed
by a worldwide network of
service providers, consumers,
aggregators, and brokers
- resulting in -
a new way of offering, using, and
organising IT supported
functionality

Cloud Computing – Everything old is new again?

Cloud Computing – Everything is renamed?
"The interesting thing about cloud computing is
that we've redefined cloud computing to
include everything that we already do. I can't
think of anything that isn't cloud computing
with all of these announcements. The
computer industry is the only industry that is
more fashion-driven than women's fashion.
Maybe I'm an idiot, but I have no idea what
anyone is talking about. What is it? It's
complete gibberish. It's insane. When is this
idiocy going to stop?”

Cloud Computing – What is it?
Cloud computing is a model for enabling
convenient, on-demand network access to a
shared pool of configurable computing resources
(e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and
rapidly provisioned
services) that can be
and released with minimal
management effort or service provider
interaction

22. Internet of Services
Business Models: factors to consider (1/2)
• Generative technology vs Tethered
Appliances
– Generative technology
• Configurable, processable
• Development mediated through market model
– Tethered appliances
• Need for ‘men in white coats’
• Development mediated through company
• Ecosystems
– Variety of applications based on platform, and/or
– Business partnerships, and/or
– Relationships with suppliers and consumers
Adapted from Li, 2009
23. Internet of Services
Business Models: factors to consider (2/2)
• Services
– From shrink-wrapped, packaged products
to Software as a Service
– Focus from basic network services to
“more valuable” software services
• Universality & Utility
– Universal service: utility, affordability,
accessibility, availability, quality
– Utility: right to the service in question
– Scarcity and market power
Adapted from Li, 2009
24. Internet of Services
Business Strategies (1/2)
• Protection of intellectual property
– Patents and trade secrets
– Right to exclude others vs
right to exclusivity
• Bundling of technologies
– “A superior offering”
– Distribution advantages and
network effects
Adapted from Li, 2009
25. Internet of Services
Business Strategies (2/2)
• Standards
– Openness, interoperability
and market as arbiter
– Defensive strategies and publishing APIs
• Open source
– Collective intelligence, added value,
management of development process
• Long tail
– Market niches, smaller customers,
customisation, choice
Adapted from Li, 2009

EU semantics research: vision without execution?
• Status based on ESTC 2008
• Vision
– Various theories, concepts, languages,
frameworks, etc
– Various prototype implementations
– Various standardisation activities
• Execution
– How about technology providers?
– How about take-up?
– Where is the money?
• Research: a means to an end!?

EU semantics research: vision without execution?
“ACTIVE is not just about research, it’s
also about realising the value from
that research. That means spreading
the word about what we are doing, not “Knowing is not enough;
just within the research community we must apply.
but also to the innovators who will Willing is not enough;

ACTIVE’s commercial partners will be
exploiting the project’s innovation
