The Next Internet: A Ubiquitous, Viral Edge Cloud

Moving computation and services from the desktop and local back office to large, centralized, multi-tenant data centers ("The Cloud") has been the dominant trend of the last decade in computing. This has led to a vast profusion of new applications and services and broad new areas of research, from networking to building highly-scalable, robust, distributed systems.
