1. Two trends that will change the Internet Andreas.Fasbender@ericsson.com Frank.Reichert@uia.no

2. Basic Driver for Change Software engineering will continue to evolve and change how we design distributed systems stand-alone systems Opcode, Fortran, Pascal, C, … object oriented tools stand-alone systems Opcode, Fortran, Pascal, C, … object oriented tools distributed systems web service oriented event driven distributed systems web service oriented event driven ubiquitous systems virtual execution latency/power/mobilty awareness ubiquitous systems virtual execution latency/power/mobilty awareness

3. Future software designers will create functional entities that can move & execute anywhere Consequences  There will be trillions of entities to be addressed & named  Routing will be on functional requirements  Mobility is a basic need for all functional entities  Service intelligence will get further distributed into network edges and across domains

4. Future mobile devices are always active and continuously communicating across hundreds of logical links Consequences  Future communication functions will refer to relations (people, environment, services etc.) rather than a network address  A mobile device may use hundreds of relations simultaneously  Routing, charging & security will depend on the type of relationship  New applications for consumers will drive the need for better connectivity. Examples: Augmented reality, life recording, …

5. Other candidates Mobile computing devices will outnumber fixed devices by several orders of magnitude  Consequence: Classic Internet will be replaced by something more suitable, with in-built mobility etc. Energy management will grow in importance  Consequence: Devices will only communicate when necessary, power management a basic function Discussion: Who will pay for bandwidth & QoS?  Content and service providers?  What flexibility does the future Internet need?
