The Killer Application & Grids P2P and Web Services: The Killer Technologies

As a new generation of software companies (Google, eBay, Amazon, Electronic Arts) rise to power, they are enabling electronic activities of all sorts in Science, Engineering, Business, Government and social communities. The technology
core includes P2P Networks (as in Kazaa driving Skype) and Grids (from e-Science) and Web services from the previous generation of software companies that often focused on new enterprise software where compatibility with existing major software packages limits innovation.
e-moreorlessanything corresponds to linkage of distributed sensors (web-cams, ATM machines, plane/car engine monitors, seismometers), instruments, people, computers, data repositories to form the global teams needed for tomorrows science, defense, business and fun. We will discuss many applications and technologies.About the Speaker:
Geoffrey Fox is a Professor of Computer Science, Informatics, and Physics and Director of Community Grid Laboratory; Pervasive Technology Laboratories at Indiana University. (More importantly, he has a British accent.)
