The Trillion Node Network(pdf)
Written in 1999 by Peter Lucus
Abstract:
"It is widely accepted that in the foreseeable future the worldwide network of computing devices will grow to billions, or even tens of billions of nodes. However, if we broaden our consideration to include networks of information devices (all artificial systems that deal in any way with information), then we are likely to be faced with much larger numbers. A network of one trillion devices is not inconceivable. Design at this scale cannot rely on engineering discipline alone. It will entail the kind of loose consensus among communities of designers that, in traditional architecture and design, goes under the name of “style.”"
