Noon Webcast: Berkman Luncheon Series with David Clark
Today at 12:30pm the Berkman Center will webcast its luncheon series talk with David Clark. You can find the webcast at http://h2odev.law.harvard.edu:8000/ and join us for discussion in our IRC at irc://irc.freenode.net/#berkman.
About the talk -- The US National Science Foundation is about to announce a new research initiative: a challenge to the research community to conceive of what the global network of 10 or 15 years from now should be. There are a number of motivations to ask such a question - requirements for tomorrow (and today) that the current Internet does not serve very well, including security, availability, industry structure, manageability, and support for tomorrow's computing. Many of these issues are not "technical problems," but requirements that arise in the larger social, economic and regulatory context in which the Internet sits. This calls for a multi-disciplinary conversation about what a Future Internet might be, and how to build it.
We hold luncheon series events most Tuesdays at 12:30pm in the Berkman conference room. If you'd like to find out more or get on our events email list, please email amichel at cyber.harvard.edu.
