| Abstract: | In his presentation at the December 2002 CENDI meeting, Dr. Nelson speculated on the future of cyberinfrastructure by looking at the applications and impacts of technologies. He predicted that the infrastructure of the future will be fast, everywhere, always on, intelligent, and easy to use. Computer systems will be easier to manage because they'll be so pervasive. He described cyberinfrastructure as occuring in three phases: one-to-one connectivety; one-to-many via the Web; and many-to-many (peer-to-peer) as defined by NAPSTER. However, first we must survive the current Internet by developing and using standards and allow the private sector and the market to develop. Dr. Nelson predicts that the NGI will be faster and more global in its impact and will result in a drastic cost reduction of information dissemination. |
