As kindly requested by Mattias, I have accepted the offer to be the co-moderator of talkstandards. I hope to add a unique perspective to this discussion. In my previous post(Live and Let die ), I alluded to the theme of the future of standards. I intend to make it a key point of my discussions here.
Standards are a boring but necessary part of ICT technology .. but the ‘future of standards’ is not adequately discussed.
Was it Napoleon who said that all my generals are ready to fight LAST year’s battles .. i.e. which means they are likely to encounter new situations which they have not encountered before.
As the domains of traditional computing, mobility, social networking, traditional content, social media content, Intelligent devices, Smart grid and telecoms converge, we are facing new challenges in standards domain. These will also be reflected in new applications domains including e-health, e-government and others
So, I am hoping to make(what is a boring subject) a bit more interesting and at the least raise some topics to think about
Some topics I hope to cover(all from an evolution of standards perspective) – Web standards / open web; Standards in healthcare / eHealth; IPR / patents / copyrights and DRM; Mobility,Cloud computing; Smart grids; Gov 2.0, Data(security / transparency / portability); Identity( federation / protection) and Document standards
Any comments/thoughts/feedback welcome
Augmented reality (AR) is a term for a live direct or indirect view of a physical real-world environment whose elements are augmented by virtual computer-generated imagery. It is related to a more general concept called mediated reality in which a view of reality is modified by a computer. As a result, the technology functions by enhancing one’s current perception of reality.
