Introduction

Internet technologies are evolving at a very quick pace.

Very Brief Internet History: 1969: ARPANET commissioned by DoD. 1974: Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn: TCP. 1984: Domain Name Services (DNS)

introduced. 1991: Tim Berners-Lee released WWW

Very Brief Internet History

1993: Mosiac released on April; 341,634% annual growth rate of service traffic.

1995: Sun launched Java (May) 1998: XML 1.0 standard released (Feb)

Hot Technologies

1996: Search engines, Java, Internet Phone.

1997: Pushing. 1998: E-Commerce, E-Auctions, Portals. 1999: Online Banking, MP3, anything

Internet. 2000: ASP, Peer to Peer. 2001: XML, mobile Internet 2002: Web Services, Blogging 2003: Wi Fi

How to keep up? (1)

Some hot technologies are not sustainable in a high level. E.g. Push: network problems/noise Peer to peer (ada Napster): copyright

issues. ASP: maturity/network/security. Mobile Internet: demand.

How to keep up? (2)

However, identifying "winners" is not easy.

Adaption/Visibility

timehype backlash

maturity

faltering

May 2, 2003 http//dcm.cl.uh.edu/yue;

yue@cl.uh.edupage 9

How to keep up? (3)

Underlying technology, architecture, theory, standards are changing slower. E.g.: HTTP/HTML/TCP/IP Java Microsoft's technology

Most of them are evolutionary, rather than revolutionary.

Brief Conclusions

Need to be able to evaluate emerging Internet technologies

Need to understand core underlying technologies, architectures, theories and standards.

Universities may be helpful.
