What might Inter-network science be?
` Network' in terms of nodes on the engineering side` the 30-40,000 Autonomous Systems
` Descriptive: what is the internet, in engineering terms?
` Network: machines & humans in each AS
` Explanatory: how does it work, what goes wrong, how we fix that?
` Analyzing together
` not been properly done before?!
` Specific regulations and policies
` most useful ('efficient', just, practical)
` to ensure maximum social value from the network.` Privacy, interoperability and freedom of speech vital
` Types of network effects & social/economic/public values
` A future Internet of European values

What are needs and exclusions?
` Transdisciplinary` Good network scientists and social scientists
` Monodisciplinarians need not apply!
` That eliminates most lawyers and engineers
` Not web science
` Branch of graph theory
` Applies largely to content/apps layer
` Very important WSI work done at Southampton/MIT
` Semantic web as Web3.0?
` Not Internet studies
` What some in US call Internet science is really studies
` See AoIR ten years of flourishing critical media analysis

Creating academic
interdisciplinary expertise
` Were too old` We weary pygmys of DOS, dial-up and CD-ROM
` Kids never watch TV without a laptop...
` Its the Born Digital who are creative
` Young engineers as social and cultural entrepreneurs
` Multi-disciplinary, multi-national, multi-lingual individuals
` They code in different languages in different time zones
` They take commercial exploitation of technology as natural
` Born since IETF, PKI (even W3C) were born:
` Diffie and Cerf s grandchildren; Python, Torrent and Linux children
` Fund next generation of pre- and post-doctoral researchers
` best hope for Europe to compete!
` Most universities and departments opposed
` Silos still keep us apart, research evaluation reinforces our borders

Build on Best of breed
` FIRE Station` Future Internet excellence accessible
` PARADISO` sustainability in widest sense, as with TAFI
` diverse group of industrial and academic partners
` Cambridge-MIT Institute` Communications Research Institute
` International
` Pan-European
` Best of The Rest US FINE
` Brazil, Japan, Korea, China, Russia et al

A work plan for Internet Science
` Not just an integrated investigation but new methodologies` building upon the integration of expertises.
` Methodologies may be investigated per se
` but must be applied to some practical cases as well.
` Pedagogy, learning by doing for next gen researchers
` Identify cases of interest` (i.e. applications, services, technical scenarios)
` Traffic management for specialized services a good example?
` Investigation by exploiting new methodologies
` quantitative and qualitative analysis` social impact of such technology
` evaluation of the effects on human interaction and communication.
` Sociological and semiotic analysis:
` re-design technology to solve impracticalities and/or inefficiencies

Assessing Internet science by needs
` Risks and costs of build it and they will come` TAFI demonstrates need for socio-economic research
` Complexity theory
` Network of networks presents complex modelling task
`
Game theory` N-sided markets of networks and content providers
` Real options
` Medium term policy direction a major financial consideration
` Thank Euro-process for no US-style duopoly/competition flipflops
` Cynical lawyers` Play a real role warriors turned peace-makers
` Knowing that law cannot solve problems turns our attention to real(yet intellectual!) property disputes
` (Charter of Fundamental) Rights implications of technologies

Managed services FRAND
FairReasonable and
Non-discriminatory
Access` means Murdoch, Berlusconi and Disney
` cant cut exclusive deals to freeze out competitors
` Universal service must also be considered
` As well as Public Service must-carry

Europe leads on mobile neutrality
` Essential for dongle users
` Fixed-mobile convergence demands equivalence of regulatory
treatment
` Subject to reasonable traffic management` Critical for developing nations
` 5.3 billion mobile users today
` 3b people will only access the Internet via mobiles by 2015 -

That begins at transparency
` Realistic 3G & LTE speeds
` Who told DSL Prime about 50Mb/s LTE in 1000 German
villages by end-2010?
`
Whats the minimum speed at peak-time?` Not up to lab-tested maximum!
` NOT blocking Skype
` Building High Definition VOIP fast lanes

Cambridge: 'control point analysis'
` EIFFEL` Note sustainability of EIFFEL as think tank for network design
` School of Architecture: original EIFFEL initiative in 2006,
` International curriculum for architecture research & education.
` Evolving developed methodology in combination with` system dynamics modelling,
` to derive design strategies,
` regulatory policy recommendations
` and
` possible investment policies
