WWW (World Wide Web)
In 1989 by CERN
Information in text, image, sound, video, etc.
As of the year 2001, the Internet hosted more than one hundred million computers and more than four hundred million users worldwide.
Internet VS. Web: Web is merely the interface, while the Internet is the wire that connects us to the Web
The unrealized promise of the Internet
Web also exposed some limitations that fail to meet people’s expectations
Long response waiting time
→ hampering user experience
Limitations in its presentation methods (such as Client/Server-like user interface )
Context-insensitive content & lack of interactivity (Rich real-time collaboration..)
Executable Internet
Moves the locus of application execution closer to end-user devices
Smart code, such as Java and a distributed infrastructure
Reduce latency and enhance online users’ experience
“Intelligent applications that execute code near the user to create rich, engaging conversations via the Net.”
Minimalize unnecessary data exchanges
Related work & problems to be solved - 1
Standards : X internet does not have established standards yet (2007)
Built-in intelligence : Rapid deployment, self-management and easy reconfiguration
Advanced data interpretation : Data distribution and aggregation, data filtering and fusion, intelligence gathering, etc.
Exception-based control : Provide users with meaningful and seamless experience .
Conclusion
Web has some problems: It does not best utilize limited telecommunications capacity.
Web is neither interactive nor real-world-aware enough for sophisticated interaction.
With its executable and extended properties, X Internet sounds promising.
