Abstract :
Through the past 10 to 20 years, various Internet system technologies such as Web, CDN, P2P, DHT, Web services, advanced naming systems, and many others have appeared. These technologies have enabled lots of new interesting services on the Internet, and will further progress to constitute a base infrastructure for the upcoming ubiquitous computing environment. In this talk, we review the major progresses and key system technologies in the current Internet service architecture, and then speculate on the shape of the future Internet. We conjecture what would be major services, their characteristics, and key technologies to enable them. We note that the scalability has been a central issue in current service architectures and will be more crucial in the future. Services will be far more automatic, intelligent, and ambient-aware and involve continuous environmental monitoring through wide-spread sensor devices. We present a high performance monitoring and data processing framework to support data-intensive ubiquitous services, which are currently under development in Network Computing Laboratory, KAIST.
