ISRI Seminar Series

Abstract:
There is a vision held by some of the next information age, after the Internet. In this vision, the hardware changes and the software changes, in order to provide individual control of information. At a first level, the Archilles Heal of the present information age, the ability to copy without bound, will be brought into control. That control will preserve the rights and obligations of all parties that may read, write, or copy the information through the entire life of the information whether that be measured in seconds or years. To bring this new information age into being requires a revolution in software and in hardware that is now underway. Whether it takes ten years or thirty years to get there, there is a growing understanding of both the roadmap and the need. This talk will speak to shapes of things to come that are forming in the mist. As such, we can pose some interesting problems for fundamental research.
