KSE631: Content Networking Uichin Lee Feb. 07, 2011

Content? Definition of “Content” – 5. intellectually interesting material: material or ideas that are considered to be interesting, challenging, or worthwhile (Encarta 2009) Wikipedia: – Content is information and experiences that may provide value for an end-user/audience in specific contexts

Examples of Content Traditional contents – TV programs – Movies – News articles – Books User created contents (Web 2.0)? – News (Ohmynews?) – Blogs – Lifelogging – Social networking (Twitter, Facebook, etc) – Wikipedia – Participatory sensing with smartphones

Content Delivery/Dissemination Content may be delivered via any medium such as the internet, television, and audio CDs, as well as live events such as conferences and stage performances (Wikipedia)

Content Networking Beyond simple content delivery (e.g., TV), users now share their content with (and interact, collaborate with) other users via Web 2.0 services (e.g., Wikipedia, Blogs, Youtube, Twitter, Foursquare) Always-on connectivity (e.g., in Smartphones) greatly helped this phenomenon Content networking also emphasizes “interactivity” and “integration” – Interactivity among users (this is OK) RSS feeds, user comments/tags, social networking – Integration of content in different sources (not OK) Semantic web?

Content Networking Goal: seamless integration of content (e.g., data, information, knowledge) in multiple domains (including users/sensor generated content) to derive new values for end-users in ways that the author of content didn't plan or imagine Content networking: – Generate or gather, and represent complex and cross- disciplinary content from various sources and at enormously large scales – Collaborate in groups and organizations, sharing this content and working together interactively across space, time, disciplines, and scientific cultures to new values

Content Networking: Big Picture Internet Smart home/office On the move Applications Content provider Fixed access Content Networking Radio access Course objective: learn basic components of content networking

Content Networking: Components Mobile device intelligence: – Sensing (camera, GPS) Network intelligence: – Internet, mobile networks (w/ advanced services) Application intelligence: – Agent, processing, mining Internet Smart home/office On the move Applications Content provider Fixed access Content Networking Radio access Device Network Application

Relation to Other Courses Mobile Intelligence Network Intelligence Application Intelligence KSE631: Content networking (this lecture) KSE624: Mobile & pervasive computing (Uichin Lee, Fall) KSE523: Knowledge service design using web technologies (Aviv Segev, Fall) KSE525: Data mining (Jae-Gil Lee, Fall) KSE621: Information retrieval (Ying Liu, Fall) Lecture focus

Caveats This course is not focused on “computer networking” – You don’t need to know all the details, yet you need to know the “basics” to design and implement efficient “content networking systems” Recall: content networking is to gather and represent content, and collaborate with others, by sharing the content and working together interactively

Why Teaching Android Programming? Ideal platform for testing your content networking applications Market demands Emphasis on networking + device intelligence – w/ other courses, you can design knowledge service platforms! Java based programming (easy to learn) Job markets..

Lecture Notes/Books Computer Network: A Top Down Approach – Will cover only chapter 1 (intro), 2 (app layer), 8 (security) – A very good book to have in your bookshelf Android programming – Hello, Android (3 rd ed), Ed Burnette – Professional Android 2 Application Development, Rete Meier Research/survey papers
