Abstract
After twenty years, the ―S-curve‖ of building out the wired internet with
hundreds of millions of PCs as its end points is flattening out, with corresponding
lowering of the growth rates of the major suppliers of that global infrastructure. At the
same time, several new ―S-curves‖ are reaching their steep slope as ubiquitous
computing begins to sweep the planet. Leading this will be a vast expansion in
heterogeneous end-points to a new wireless internet, moving IP throughout the physical
world.
Billions of internet-connected cell phones, embedded processors, hand-held
devices, sensors and actuators will lead to radical new applications in biomedicine,
transportation, environmental monitoring and interpersonal communication and
collaboration. The combination of wireless LANs, the third generation of cellular
phones, satellites, and the increasing use of the FCC unlicensed wireless band will
cover the world with connectivity enabling both scientific research and emergency
preparedness to utilize a wide variety of sensor-nets. Building on advances in MEMS
and nanotechnology, smart sensors will be cheap enough to deploy widely, capable of
multiple types of detection, and survivable for long periods of time. The data from these
sensor-nets will be integrated with legacy data in optically networked visualization
analysis or command and control facilities. The enhanced knowledge products will then
flow out over the same wireless internet to personal devices in the hands of field
scientists or first responders. These end points will themselves form electronic
communities enhanced by accurate geolocation. Cal (IT)2 is carrying out experiments in
its "Living Laboratories" with its industrial partners in all of these areas.
