New Agora Analysis

New Agora Paper: Cloud Computing for the Home

The SDDP (Structured Design Dialogue Process) defined in the New Agora paper, is viewed as a combination of structured formal and informal dialog methodologies, provides mangers of leaders a proven way to collaborate ideas from all parties of interest.  With the SDDP, everyone is viewed to have value and their individual contributions are treated with respect.

Broadband users in the US, are beginning to see much higher bandwidth then aver seen before.  The ability to communicate using high-speed low-latency data communications, introduces the concept that Cloud Computing may prove to be a valuable commodity in the home.  Image for a moment, that we no longer have to go out and buy desktops and laptops.  In turn purchase or lease thin clients that simply connect to VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) resources hosted by your local Cloud Provider.

This is big step forward in home computing, without question.  In the present I (The User) am responsible for securing, and maintaining my computer resources.  With VDI, it would be easy to construe that the Cloud Provider would manage such things.

Using the SDDP, communicating the public as to these intentions could raise questions about the legitimacy of the Cloud and its ability and competence to effectively secure my personal data.  Therefore, in the SDDP, using the Generative dialog approach (Phase 1) this would encourage normal users to engage with the “Powers-To-Be” and solicit their concerns and suggestions.

The Cloud Providers could then take this data and design communication channels relying Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) qualify the ideas and suggestions given.


Outside Forces: Vender propaganda and false advertisement

In the event VDI  becomes a viable alternative to traditional home computing, computer venders will be on the defensive to either demonize VDI so to maintain their client-base.  What I see as the most effective campaigns would simply be the kick-off propaganda campaigns to mislead the public as to the functionality and security of the Cloud.
