3rd Future Internet Symposium 2010 - Call for Papers

Thus Internet applications have so far been developed mainly for fitting to specific networks. Now itís time for a change. Networks should be developed for applications. The universe of these networks might be considered as the Future Internet. The future network ecosystem will be supported by a consolidated, preferably single, platform. This platform needs to include support for services, things and content on both network and application layer. The FI ecosystem has to be sustainable, meaning that applications are supported efficiently, i.e. consuming a minimal amount of required resources, e.g. capacity, electricity, etc., while providing dedicated security and sufficient performance for the applications throughout their lifetime.

Facebook Places and the Platform race

Facebook announcement of Places service is an important event in the Platform race. Facebook could have partnered with Foursquare or some other geospatial player(s) .

Possible strategic response for Foursquare,  threatened by Facebook ambitions and lock of the "wider platform", is to integrate with a new,  "open" social platform such as Diaspora.  It would be a mistake for Foursquare to try to build its own social platform, unless they make it "open" and convince other major players like Zynga to integrate with it.

The GINI-SA Project of the EU

The GINI-SA Project of the EU Lefteris Leontaridis , NetSmart S.A. GINI-SA is a Support Action for the EC which aims to analyse how a Personalized Identity Management (PIM) ecosystem in which individuals can manage their own digital identities and control the exchange of their identity information.  Under the GINI vision, individuals would manage their identities by means of an Individual Digital Identity (‘INDI’). An INDI can be described as a self-generated and self-managed digital identity, which is verifiable against one or more authoritative data sources.  Once created, users would have the ability to link their INDI with authoritative identity data maintained by both public- and private-sector entities. This data (or links thereto) could then be presented by the user towards relying parties. The user might wish to do this in order to meet transactional requirements (e.g., access control conditions set by a relying party) or underpin her trustworthiness towards...

My vision of the User Platform

Image
In this post, I will communicate my vision of the User Platform . The Platform is a future Internet user-centered semantic web service, around which the ecosystem of information space services is built. The information space is comprised of web, media, real life, augmented reality, and all other media in which humans, nature, and machines interact. The Platform has five integrated components – User Platform, Groups Platform, Things Platform, Services Platform, and Content Platform.   Picture 1. User Platform   I will call the core service of the User Platform, servicing a specific user, a Platform Cell . It is indicated as the blue circle in the diagram. The Platform Cell is a human’s second brain in the information space that always works and never sleeps. The Platform makes sense of what is happening with the user and around the user, in real time. The User Platform creates user-related knowledge and uses that knowledge to communicate with the ecosystem of informati...
