For the last few years I have been working on a new architecture for the Internet, which you can read about here:
Problem:
How can we deliver applications as services, over the Internet, and get PC-like functionality, where each user can mix-and-match applications as if they are on a PC?
(Note: The question does not refer to pure user-interface issues that are addressed by AJAX!)
Solution:
Domicel is a virtual personal Internet domain. It gives the end user the look-and-feel of working on a PC – without the PC! Applications are provided as on-line services, in an object-oriented paradigm. The aggregate of a user’s objects (think: icons) from all applications, hosted anywhere in the world, is their Domicel – there is no one place in which a Domicel’s objects reside, no bottlenecks, and no central point of failure.
Or, to put it another way, it does for applications what the World Wide Web does for documents.
It’s still very primitive – I think of it as being the Internet version of the Altair, “the spark that led to the personal computer revolution”. At this point, I would like to get a few good nerds interested. If I can get it going, I think it will be very big.
You can see the current state of the art here. Notice the links in the upper right-hand corner.
PS: There is the beginning of a discussion on Domicel here.
