Abstract: The decentralization of the telecommunication system
to the edge of today's hierarchically-formed networks is
inevitable with the emergence of key wireless technologies
and the proliferation of mobile computing devices and more
prevailing usage models. We envision a decentralized communication
system formed of wireless mesh networks and a highly virtualized,
converged computing and communications node-based architecture
with emergent management capabilities. We propose to embed
the user inside the network to freely associate services
and resources such as computing, storage, and bandwidth
to rapidly advance network innovation - network centric
computing. This talk proposes a novel direction and vision
for network centric computing, expands on our research and
presents the OverMesh platform from which we have begun
work to instantiate this vision.
