The Wealth of Networks

7/13/2007

25&26 Sept 2007

The Wealth of Networks The instantiations of what we call Web 2.0—RSS feeds, mash-ups, Web hacks, wikis, and so forth—will soon be seen as mere blips when compared with the pervasive networks that follow. Radical changes in information production that the Internet has introduced are reshaping markets and forcing organizations to restructure their value propositions. What are the ramifications when networks become the context of our work and lives? Who’s threatened, and what’s next? Topics to be discussed at this conference include: Commons-based peer production, Economic considerations, Software as a service, Revisiting Reed's Law, Web-oriented architectures, Social and legal ramifications, IPv6, User-generated content, Sharing network resources, Network niches.
