Vyatta and Open Networking

Cloud computing is the latest advancement in the computer world, providing nearly everything a person or company would need through internet connection instead of stand-alone software. A good example of this is the internet-based servers that can store the contents of your computer as a backup system. This aspect of cloud computing is an industry that is growing by leaps and bounds. Vyatta, Inc.has recently introduced open source networking that allows clients to optimize their networks, improve performance, reduce their costs and reach new levels of flexibility and manageability.

Using open networking means that you and everyone else on the open network can access and share resources such as software and information, much like the customers that subscribe to a power grid for electricity. Resources and software are accessed through internet connections and downloaded or used as needed. The users in these open clouds don’t need any knowledge of the technology involved in the shared resources and if they do encounter some sort of glitch, they don’t need their own technicians. An open network such as Vyatta has its own staff to maintain the software and services it provides. This open source networking provides a smooth and seamless experience that is uninterrupted by the usual crashes and slow performance so common to physical computer networks of the past.

These open clouds are very appealing to both individuals and business. The open source operating system is secure and capable of working with connections like DSL or up to 20Gbps and is much less expensive than other solutions. Since a physical network is not needed, these open groups save a lot of money for businesses. Thousands of infrastructures world wide, both virtual and physical, small concerns and large mega corporations, are connected with Vyatta’s open source networking.

Since there is no onsite physical structure, software or mainframe, Vyatta’s open network allows better use of both time and physical space. The software can be customized to the client’s own unique requirements and the services shared in open groups can be used according to their needs. Because this open source networking is located offsite, all your information is protected and stored on servers that are not affected should your own computer experience problems.

Vyatta Inc’s Open Clouds Initiative means that internet technology (IT) experts will have to change the way they work. Companies and individuals connected to open networking will no longer need onsite IT personnel. This open source networking is the wave of the future, both secure and convenient and very cost effective no matter how big your business is.

Google and the National Broadband Plan

It is well known to the public domain that since early 2005 Google has been on the war path conquering and assimilating companies and infrastructures that extends on an apparent desire to streamline a true Open Network. These purchases have included the procurement of thousands of miles of dark fiber- remnants of the decadent net-boom. In 2007 Google dropped a nice shiny and tempting lure before the the FCC of roughly $4,700,000,000 for open access on the 700MHz band; a pretty sum exceeding the FCC’s annual budget by more then 10 times over. As of today, in a post by Richard Whitt (Washington Telecom and Media Counsel) the FCC is seeking a one-month extension to deliver its National Broadband Plan, explaining that more time is needed to review the public record and brief key officials.

Facebook Becoming a More Open Network in 2010

Social Networking sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn are closed networks simply because they require confirmation of “friend” status. Basically, it really is just too much manual clicking to accept a lot of friends. Twitter has distinguished itself as a true open network that can amass networks of millions of followers, and is the application at the moment) closest to a personal broadcast media. Facebook certainly sees the power of massive networks (being the biggest one itself), and in order to compete with Twitter’s broadcast power, will unveil similar broadcast functionality. Simply put, in 2010 Facebook will create an opt-in setting that allows users to open their status updates to anybody who wants to follow them. Becoming a Facebook Fan today is similar but statuses can not be filtered within the main feed. Once 350+million Facebook broadcast systems are potentially unleashed, they can be curated categorically like Twitter Lists and conversations more conveniently filtered. Yes, Facebook already has Friendfeed as the model, but it needs to be simpler to use, and will likely cede to a new Facebook open network product.

The Open Network of Collective Intelligence

The Open Network of Collective Intelligence

The intelligence we are interested in emerges while information is being exchanged amongst a group of individuals.

A large number of individuals gathering in persons, at the same time and in the same place, rarely leads to collective intelligence, because the information exchange fluidity is met with obstacles that are often insurmountable.

Thanks to modern communication systems, the obstacle to exchange fluidity seems to be overcome. However, if message exchange between two persons seems greatly facilitated, these exchanges quickly become difficult to manage as soon as the number of exchanged messages, as well as the number of persons involved, grows.

Today, one realizes that potential access to a large volume of information, or to a large number of individuals, is not sufficient to access to more intelligence.

Access to large volumes of information requires interfaces able to organize, structure and hierarchically set, into elementary pieces of information, those that are too complex, too large, or just too numerous, and that, as a result, cannot be assimilated by one person in a given time.
Descending communication from mass media

In order to communicate to the most important number of individuals, the information society, has made every effort to produce messages that are simplified, normalized and smooth, and that are destined to satisfy a population of individuals but no individual in particular.

Mass information is, most often, delivered as “take it or leave it”. This is the only alternative left to the addressee.

Mass communication, or descending communication, is the media application of the communication system established by Claude Shannon with the mathematical theory of information. We owe to Warren Weaver the fundamental diagram of communication systems shown below.

Communication, as it is described in the theory, is not concerned with the semantic aspect of the message being sent. Information is described, in the message, as an increasing function of the uncertainty reduction that it brings; this makes this theory essentially a static one.

From information flow to intelligence flow

In order to set networks able to support flow of intelligent pieces of information, it is necessary to redefine the theory of information.

The theory, which in reality is only concerned with signals, does not take into account the meaning of the information being moved. This is the reason why we propose the design of a less restrictive theory, yet more ambitious: a general theory of intelligence flows.

By integrating in this new theory the sciences of signs, that is semiology, one can see that a fundamental notion, retroaction, was not part of the previous theory.

Roland Barthes gives the following definition of semiology: “a science that studies the life of signs within the social life”.

The semiotic triade is a schematic representation of the sign interpretation proposed by the American logician Charles S. Peirce (1839-1914). It makes it possible to understand the place of the interpreter in relation to the object, and the sign that represents it.

The necessity to develop new languages, particularly for robotic applications, made it possible to improve our understanding of the mechanisms involved. The semiotic cycle demonstrates that a representation cannot exist without the sharing of a common space between the one who issues and the one who interprets.
