Open Programmable Mobile Internet 2020

我们正在迅速进入一个广泛部署、廉价、支持互联网的移动计算和通信设备的新时代。这有可能催生基于无处不在的无线和移动计算的开放性的全新一代服务、应用和行为模式，以造福社会。但这需要重新思考计算和通信基础设施--从计算云中的服务器，到台式机，再到单个手持设备，再到将它们连接在一起的网络。此次考察旨在通过打破壁垒和搭建桥梁来促进创新和竞争，从而创建一个真正可编程和开放的移动互联网(POMI)。在普遍存在的计算模式的基础上，用户可以不受限制地访问分布式计算和存储资源，这次及时的实验系统考察将创建一个虚拟数据系统，使用户能够拥有其数据的所有权；一个三级计算基础设施，以方便进入新的网络服务；一个开放的网络，以促进网络创新，并使附近不同类型和丰富的无线电网络能够获得无线能力；以及开放源码软件，以促进开放手机和其他此类手持设备的现有努力。斯坦福大学校园将部署一个基础设施、设备和应用程序的大规模原型系统--这可能是一所大学有史以来为研究而进行的最全面的移动技术试验部署。外展活动包括开发和分发POMI工具包，供小型和代表性不足的大学、K-12学校的学生和斯坦福大学的本科生使用，通过基于移动的教育和探索参与创造性和灵感发现。

We are rapidly moving into a new age of widely-deployed, inexpensive, Internet-enabled mobile computing and communication devices. This has the potential to give rise to a whole new generation of services, applications, and modes of behavior to benefit society based on openness in ubiquitous wireless and mobile computing. But this requires re-thinking the computing and communication infrastructure--from the servers in the computing cloud, to the desktop, to the individual handheld devices, to the network that interconnects them all. This Expedition aims to promote innovation and competition by breaking down barriers and constructing bridges for enabling the creation of a truly programmable and open mobile internet (POMI). Expanding on the ubiquitous computing model in which users have unencumbered access to distributed computational and storage resources, this timely experimental systems Expedition will create a virtual data system to enable users to take ownership of their data; a three-tiered computational infrastructure to ease the entry of new web services; an open network to promote network innovation and make wireless capacity available across heterogeneous and abundant radio networks within a vicinity; and open-source software to promote existing efforts in opening the cell phone and other such handhelds. An at-scale prototype system of infrastructure, devices and applications will be deployed across the Stanford campus--perhaps the most comprehensive experimental deployment of mobile technology for research ever performed by a university. Outreach includes the development and distribution of POMI kits to students at small and underrepresented universities, K-12 schools, and undergraduates at Stanford to engage in creative and inspired discovery through mobile-based education and exploration.
