INTRODUCTION •The unprecedented outburst of advances and innovation in Internet and Information Communications Technology (ICT) drives the digital revolution today. •The current trends in globalization create neither a level playing field nor a truly ‘‘Flat World.’’

•Impact of Cyberspace on society today and tomorrow. •Attempts to gain national competitive advantage while promoting creation of artificial walls that may trigger potential conflicts and disagreements. Professor Eduard Babulak

THE 20TH CENTURY ICT

•Current challenges and dynamics in global business enterprise. •ICT is a platform to conduct successful business globally. •ICT facilitating management of knowledge assets and business intelligence. •IS contributes to employees global mobility and management . Professor Eduard Babulak

FIVE ESSENTIAL KEY MANAGEMENT CHALLENGES IN DEVELOPING & USING INFORMATION SYSTEMS TODAY: • Obtaining business value from information systems;

• Providing appropriate complementary assets to use information technology effectively; • Understanding the system requirements of a global business environment;

• Creating an information technology infrastructure that is flexible enough to support changing organizational goals; • Designing systems that people can control, understand, and use in a socially and ethically responsible manner. Professor Eduard Babulak

THREE MAJOR TECHNOLOGICAL AREAS 1. intelligent device and sensor networks, 2. analytics: distributed intelligence , 3. human to computer interaction, and integration.

RESEARCH FOCUS ON: 1. Intelligent Device Integration: As devices gain in diversity, density and intelligence, so does the opportunity to gather knowledge. 2. Analytics and Insight: Exploiting emerging data sources for high performance. 3. Human Computer Interaction: The impact of emerging technologies and new business needs on workforce productivity and business performance. 4. Systems Integration: Exploring tomorrow's enterprise ICT systems. Professor Eduard Babulak

CURRENT & FUTURE CYBERSPACE

•Global Internet Communications Infrastructures and Satellite Communications.

•The future cyberspace will revolutionize the way we live. Future autonomic computing will foster technologies such as: • self-healing software; •root-cause discovery; • correction, and self-healing hardware; •general-purpose grid computing

Professor Eduard Babulak

WHAT IS UBIQUITY THE OMNIPRESENCE OF COMPUTING EVERYWHERE Mark Weiser idea of ubiquitous computing was that computation will be embedded in many different kinds of devices on many different levels. Ubiquitous computing, by its very definition, aspires to weave computing technologies across the fabric of our everyday www.ubicomp.org lives.

Prof. Eduard Babulak

UBIQUITOUS AND PERVASIVE COMPUTING There is burgeoning population of 'effectively invisible' computers around us, embedded in the fabric of our homes, shops, vehicles, farms and some even in our bodies. They are invisible in that they are part of the environment and we can interact with them as we go about our normal activities. However they can range in size from large Plasma displays on the walls of buildings to microchips implanted in the human body. They help us command, control, communicate, do business, travel and entertain ourselves, and these 'invisible‘ computers are far more numerous than their desktop cousins. Prof. Eduard Babulak

WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE INTERNET? • Connectedness – Now - Anybody is connected to everybody – RFIDs (Radio Frequency Identifiers) – WiFi New protocols for interconnection • Convergence – E-mail, voice, pictures — all from the same device • To come - Anything is connected to everything! • Understanding – Smarter search engines (Google, Yahoo, Microsoft) – The Semantic Web (Tim Berners-Lee) • Perhaps you will be able to ask your refrigerator if it has a good supper on hand and if not, tell it to instruct your car to pick up something at the supermarket drive-in.

THE 21ST CENTURY CYBERSPACE •The 21st century starts a open era while creating a platform for the full automation via ubiquitous cyberspace and Internet.

•The ever increasing accessibility of connectivity by anyone, to anyone, at any time, at any place from any place to any place. •The 21st cyberspace combined with the future ICT technologies will drive the technology toward the fully automated cyberspace. •The 21st century cyberspace will have significant global impact on societies, economies, political and legal structures.

THE CONCLUSIONS & DICUSSION Three principal Directions of Computer Development are: • Miniaturization: •Everything has become smaller. •ENIAC’s old-fashioned radio-style vacuum tubes gave way after 1947 to the smaller, faster, more reliable transistor. • Speed: •Due to enormous large volume of transaction and information processes the highest processing and communication speed is essential in all sectors. • Affordability: •The cost is critical to all business worldwide. Professor Eduard Babulak

OPEN QUESTIONS: •What will be the 22nd century cyberspace? •Will it be safe, human friendly, or will be unsecure and potentially harmful to humans?

ANSWER WILL DEPEND ON HOW : •The global team of scientists, researchers, technology developers, sociologists, educators, thinkers, engineers, lawyers, businessmen, politicians, etc., works together.


THE FUTURE CYBERSPACE SHOULD CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS THE BETTERMENT OF MANKIND INSTEAD OF MECHANIZING THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN PEOPLES AND NATIONS MOTIVATED BY ECONOMIC AND/OR POLITICAL BENEFITS OF VERY SELECTED GROUPS.
