New aspects: Web scale, Web services…
Lots of works, lots of ad hoc techniques, very messy, redundant
Need for simple and clean mathematical foundations
To understand what we are doing
To manage the complexity

To push the limits
In general: need for foundational works

House appliances data, car
Bank, taxes, bills, pda, PC, work, etc.
