Topics N Oreilly Emerging Technology Conference

Ano na ba nangyayari sa teknolohiya? Sa Abril 2003, may conferensiyang gagawin sa Sta Clara Californina. Tignan ninyo ang mga topics ng Oreilly Emerging Technology Conference

Rich Internet Applications

Noon 90s inilipat sa Internet ang samut saring mga software application tulad ng Personal finance, word processing, and design applications. Mas okay daw ang mga ito pag sa web ginamit. Tapos patuloy ang giyera ng Internet Explorer at Netscape. Taob ang Netscape. Ang hamak ng HTML naman ang naging de facto standard sa pag gawa ng mga Internet applications.

Subalit ngayun, ang mga bagong softwar ay ginagawa na sa loob ng internet. Hindi binabago lamang para magamit sa internet. Apple's iApps and Karelia's Watson are examples of a new breed of desktop software built of, rather than for, the Internet. Macromedia's Flash, far from being just about animation, provides a rich canvas for building interactive Web applications.

Social Software

Nagsisimula na raw ang Golden Age ng social software. Ang social software ay nilikha para makapag-interact ang mga grupo ng tao. Hindi tulad noong nakaraang istilo na ang isang tao ay nakikipag interact sa ibang tao - yung one to many type of interaction. Siguro ito na nga yung mga egroups, chat, netconference, video conference, etc. After nearly a decade of exploring the Web's uses as a one-to-many medium, there is a growing awareness and excitement about both the problems posed in writing social software, and the potential benefits...

Untethered

hahaha. Dati nga naman, parang kalabaw na nakatali tayo sa computer. Kaillangang malapit o nakakoneta tayo sa mga sama samang computer resources. Ngayun, para tayong mga kabayong nakawala sa kural. Uso na yung mga walang alambreng computer tools. Superbilis at napakalawak na ang nasasakupan ng mga computer networks. Untethered users cluster like savannah beasts around a watering hole when they find high-speed wireless access; cellular telephone users disperse and gather dynamically as they transmit short notes billions of times a month.

Biological Models of Computing

Despite the messiness inherent in natural systems, evolution has produced "machines of extreme perfection," to use Darwin's felicitous phrase. As our technological systems become more complex and planning for all cases becomes impossible, what can we learn from the biological world? In particular, what can we learn from the design of both organisms and systems that can adapt to a wide and unpredictable range of signals without collapsing?...

Digital Rights

Digital Rights Management, copy-restriction, and rights-expression tools are potentially dangerous but often-innovative technologies. Some claim to be tools for safeguarding the public's privacy; others maintain that they add functionality to general-purpose hardware. Congress, the FCC, the European Parliament, and WIPO are all considering pro- and anti-DRM initiatives...

Hardware

Moore's Law (tuwing 18 walong buwan daw ay nababago ng husto ang technologiya sabi ni Moore) drives ease-of-hacks in hardware just as well as it does in software. Hardware hacks expand the machine in new and powerful ways, using cheap, off-the-shelf technology. At the tiniest end of the spectrum, miniaturization is showing the promise of a nano-world, where everything we take for granted about the physical universe is up for grabs.

Are carbon nanotubules the next asbestos? Will MEMS graduate into "utility fog?" Your talk-proposals for the hardware track should tell us how we can change the world today with Radio Shack parts and simple schematics or how the world of tomorrow will be upended by clouds of tiny sub-micro devices.

Business Models

We feature a range of technologies that are growing just below the horizon of commercial viability, and place a spotlight on projects and people who are likely to become very important to the future of Internet computing. Equally important is a careful study of what the new business models will look like. Will they be a return to the traditional, times being as they are? Or is there still room to innovate? Who is putting a stake in the ground and attempting to build the new applications, network, and online culture?
