Large Scale Robotic Aquaculture
Large Scale Robotic Aquaculture
04/28/2004 01:21 PMCharles C. Mann has written a
new Wired
article that offers an intriguing overview of the latest research
into automated, open ocean aquaculture. Robot caretakers would manage
giant, floating fish farms that would drift between continents. This
approach could eliminate problems of previous attempts at large-scale
aquaculture which relied on fixed pens near the shoreline which
produced
huge amounts of pollution, lowered the values of shorefront real
estate, and frequently failed due to overcrowding of the fish. For
more
information on this new project, visit the University of New Hampshire
Open Ocean Aquaculture Project website.

Applied Decentralization: A large-scale

Applied Decentralization: A large-scale
social system for HLS
03/06/2004 02:08 AMIt's been a few months since I've posted - a very busy and exciting
time here at Groove. Both in terms of what's been happening in the
business and market, but also because we're closing in on the first
beta of Groove V3. I can't wait to tell you about the improvements in
V3 ... because after having used it day in and day out for a few
months now, I've simply never felt nearly this excited about a
product that I've worked on. And that says a lot. More on V3 in a few
weeks!
For those of you who have been following Groove for quite some
time, you may recall that the product's original raison d'être
was to enable people "at the edge" to dynamically assemble online into
secure virtual workspaces, to work together and to get something done,
even if those individuals were in different organizations with
completely different IT infrastructure.
Today, with the gracious permission of one of our most significant
customers, Groove made an announcement that I'd like to talk about for
a moment. It's very significant to me for two reasons: First, the
nature of how Groove is being used in this solution demonstrates to
the extreme the very reason why Groove was built the way it was,
from a technology and architecture perspective. Decentralization at
its finest. The customer's core challenge was to enable individuals
from many, many different organizations - most of whom had little or
no opportunity for training - to rapidly assemble into small virtual
teams to selectively share information, make decisions, get the job
done, and disassemble. The individuals are geographically dispersed.
They use different kinds of networks, behind different organizations'
firewalls and management policies. They are very, very highly mobile.
And there are few applications where the requirement for deep and
effective security is more self-evident.
Groove's press release can be found her
e.
The Department of Homeland Security's press releases related to
HSIN can be found here and
here,
while Secretary Ridge's remarks are here.
Why was a decentralized architecture for this network so
fundamentally important, and thus why was Groove uniquely suited for
the task? This brings me to the second reason that I'm tremendously
pleased to have had the opportunity to contribute to solving this
problem. Larry Lessig taught us that
in software-based systems in cyberspace, the code can
define outcomes - inadvertently or intentionally - that might have an
impact on society. Or better stated in this case, the system's core
architectural design principles have a real impact not only on the
system's mission effectiveness, but also in how it might effectively
preserve and protect rights.
To understand these issues more deeply, one need look no
further than the eloquent work released this past December by the Markle Foundation Task Force on
National Security in the Information Age, called "Creating
a Trusted Network for Homeland Security".
If you're interested in the "why" of decentralization, read the
report. Look at the members of the task force. And take particular
note of their proposed SHARE network and its architecture.
(Interestingly, Richard Eckel wrote about it in his blog before he
became aware of the details of Groove's involvement with HSIN.)
Lots of stuff here to read, but it's truly fascinating if you are
interested in understanding how decentralization and peer-to-peer
technology is having a real impact on government and society.
Although so, so many people are involved in this project because of
its scope, in particular I'd like to recognize Col. Tom Marenic, Pat
Duecy, Ed Manavian, and especially our partner Mike Kushin of
ManTech/IDS. My sincere thanks for your leadership, your passion about
the mission, and your appreciation for organizational dynamics, social
dynamics, technology and architecture in assembling a large and
empirically effective system for purposeful social interaction.

Network Coding for Large Scale Content Distribution. The
related work section is a great survey of swarming protocol research.
The protocol presented in the paper is interesting, although I think
the simulations use infinitely fast processors and disks; only the
last two paragraphs address the considerable implementation issues.
It's possible that these issues could eliminate the 20-30% performance
advantage over BitTorrent.
