PPT Slide

Motivation

• Evolution of Systems Research:

  • Efficient programs on uni/multi/cluster processor machines
  • Distributed -> Internet Services
  • Interactive and collaborative services

• Future Technology Needs:

  • Key fact: The focus is not the computational tool, or the specific information source, or the computer. Instead, it is tto make information available to users, in the right form, at the right time, in the appropriate place.

• Information `Spaces’ and ‘Spheres’:

  • Composed of Information Sources, Computational Tools, and User Interfaces
  • `Spaces’ are stream/graph-based computations

    • linking sources to tools, tools to users, users to users
