AORTA or Always On Real-Time Access was coined by Mark Anderson in 1997 to announce the age of “always on, always connected to any information at anytime world”. This will be the theme I expect to discuss in this blog. AORTA clearly involves networks, infrastructure, middleware, and devices and we will be discussing the trends, opportunities, issues, innovations in this space. I first started discussing the concept and its implications back in 2000/2001 and am hoping to continue tracking the exciting world of AORTA. Your feedback is most welcome.
