The State-of-the-Art

• Dev./Net.-indep. People-to-People Comm
• Not Device / Network-independent
• Proprietary (closed) w/ static functionality
• E.g., Wildfires static rules
• Classroom Learning
• Course notes / lectures on the web (Stanford)
• High instructor overhead (out-of-sync questions)
• Lower live lecture attendance (EE20 ?50)
• Wide-area information mgmt / access
• Web read-only sharing/access
• Heavyweight r/w solutions require cooperating
  administrative domains
• Poor security
