I'll be on the Service Infrastructure panel (thats about the unsexy stuff wot makes the whole 2.0 thang run) at the
Wealth of Networks Conference tomorrow. This session covers:
Some technology trends are clear - such as multicore processors, disk sizes and network bandwidths. Others, like the evolution of the Web and Semantic Web, less so - largely because these technologies are evolving within the social context of their use. This panel will enter the dangerous territory of making predictions in order to inform discussion about the future digital economy.
- Is the Semantic Web something on the same scale of the web or a small niche activity?
- When will desktop computers disappear in favour of mobile devices?
- Have clouds replaced the grid forever?
Here are some of our thoughts on this area from previous blog posts:
- On Semantic Webs - Semantic SOA
- Desktop Computers vs Mobile Devices - We have seen the death of "thick clients" forecast before:
- Clouds n Grids - Lean Infrastructures and Rich Mediums
