Introduction


Internet technologies are evolving at a
very quick pace.
Very Brief Internet History:
 1969: ARPANET
commissioned by DoD.
 1974: Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn: TCP.
 1984: Domain Name Services (DNS)
introduced.
 1991: Tim Berners-Lee released WWW

How to keep up? (1)

Some hot technologies are not
sustainable in a high level. E.g.
 Push:
network problems/noise
 Peer to peer (ada Napster): copyright
issues.
 ASP: maturity/network/security.
 Mobile Internet: demand.

How to keep up? (2)

However, identifying "winners" is not
easy.
Adaption/
Visibility
maturity
faltering

How to keep up? (3)

Underlying technology, architecture,
theory, standards are changing slower.
E.g.:
 HTTP/HTML/TCP/IP
 Java
 Microsoft's

Most of them are evolutionary, rather than
revolutionary.

May 2, 2003
Need to be able to evaluate emerging
Internet technologies
Need to understand core underlying
technologies, architectures, theories and
standards.
Universities may be helpful.
