Transcript

[slide503] There is an article by Stan Moyer and colleagues on "Service Portability of Networked Appliances". As soon as I start saying, "hum, this protocol is pretty cool" What would happen if I built it into my alarm clock? Or I build it into other appliances? Because, now I can use these messages to set up sessions with them, exchange data with them, so I could make my clock in the morning decide, I have to get up, what do I do? I start streaming whatever my favorite get up early in the morning song is. Right? [pause] Make it flash the lights, whatever. [pause] But now we have a problem. What about service portability? [pause] Right? I go and stay in a hotel what happens [when] I need to get up early in the morning, I want the streaming to start to that phone or the clock or whatever it is, flashing the lights in the room playing my favorite music, because that is my service. Right? Just because it is a different device and I am in a different place I ought to be able to describe and say "Hey, that this my wakeup alarm".
