This repository is no longer maintained. Intro VCC is a mechanical verifier for concurrent C programs. One of the things that made a big impression on me, it is a paper by Jeff Houston, Death of Transit.
And that makes the argument that because the big companies, the big Cloud providers, they own the complete data structure, including back hall of — backhaul of data, investments in transit, connectivity between the connectivity on the highest level, basically the long haul, that the investments are lowering that.
How do we keep a Global Connected Internet with sufficient open path to the rest of the world while strengthening the European connection. I find that an unanswered question and it is an important one. I think we should be investing in keeping a global Internet and global connectivity, and also offer chances to entrepreneurs and innovators outside of Europe if only to make sure that new opportunities can be built in the Global South. What are those critical properties?
Having that open Internet architecture, those interoperable reusable building blocks, those are the open standards that were being referred to. Also making sure that we maintain a decentralized, managed — decentralized management and distributed routing system. Make sure that also within Europe, connections with the outside world, there is diversity. If we create points to go in and outside of Europe in the way that we network with each other, that will be a losing proposition.
You lose the resiliency that way. Having common global identifiers, fourth critical property. Making sure that when I type in a domain name, I can still reach the other part of the world.
The Internet itself, although improvements are still being made and the Internet evolves, in essence, it is a technology neutral, gender-purpose network. Some scale up networks for instance. Here is Gotz again, he just joined. Maybe, Gotz, I was saying while you were gone, that it was actually very interesting, the ideas around this.
Fairly in the beginning I guess. The capacity that we have here, it is that we are having the three major business groups where two of them are very much known.
We have the smartphones, the telecommunication, 5G, Internet, then we also have the cloud business, operated in Huawei as a public cloud under Huawei Cloud. That was a heavy effort and obviously we wanted to make sure that data security, GDPR compliance, which is also being put into our daily governance model in China, it is being more or less than one to one math translated into the local European regulation. The example here, it is a very simple cyber physical, physical system, and the European regulation, it is still not clear about what happens if there are chips which are being used to produce the intelligence of the software and then maybe the composed system which is being sold will violate the security privacy regulations.
Here the data produce, consumer, liability question are complex. As a company, which is operating at that scale, you really have to understand how in the single fields of the technology, the fusion of that, you will see the impacts to regulation, how can you more or less drive that regulation forward so that it reflects the State of technology.
So we are working on the European and national government level to understand in collaboration with other associations and standardization bodies the government experts and the like what regulation will come up and how we more or less map that to our technology. For that, you have to contribute actively to the standardization. I think when we look into major initiatives, GAIA-X, it is an example where Europe tries to establish a data economy and the whole digital trust spaces on the underlying infrastructure.
The standardization alone, plus the regulation will not do the job. You have to also work with the opensource community to create the critical mass and then to also be able to validate and certify what you more or less composed with the use cases. I will highlight an interesting idea that we have for the opensource community. If you think back, how the smartphone evolved, it was a closed ecosystem. Now we are moving to an era where we have more marketplace, open marketplaces where many application cans be ported easily to those smartphones or other end-user devices.
This has to go Cloud, the idea behind that we considered to a certain extent as a possible blueprint from the concept perspective, it is that you have an open service layer, which is based on open APIs that allow you to have a portable area from a service and data perspective requiring that all of the service providers from the infrastructure, expose their APIs so that you can more or less offer this portable data, it would imply there is no lock in or lock out.
I believe we have to put together a critical mass of people to really transfer the ideas that we have in Europe to something which is feasible, practical for the economy. Huawei is in a unique position to make sure that the European regulation is also adopted in China because we are working together with partners which have a global supply chain. They would like to do business with their supply chain partners, independent of the justification as long as they comply with the regulations.
I see a parallel, just now Olaf as well had a question on how we could act in a global environment and Erik also touched on that point, while you mentioned, Gotz on the locking of Apple and also on the open market and open cloud and maybe, Erik, I would like to have your perspective on this a little.
I would love to move away from Facebook t means I have to ask all of my friends to move away from Facebook and that means that all of them have to ask all friends to move away from Facebook and that means everybody needs to move away from Facebook at the same time. We need to agree if we can do that here, please, 31st of December, coming up, midnight, we all move away from Facebook. You know, it is really difficult to do that.
I think Olaf referred to this, how do you balance, you know, the weight of the big companies? I think this is exactly where politics needs to focus in Europe and I think Marina already indicated that. It is very, very difficult if you make your law dependent on technology. Make sure that you create just enough laws to make sure that you guard your — protect the public values that are important to you.
It is a balance between commercial and public space, private space and how we find a balance there where we allow companies to innovate, to make a profit, and on the other hand, not to become so empowered they threaten our value, democracy and that we make sure that civilians have a choice in where they want to go and what they want to share, et cetera, and still be able to connect with friends.
I can leave Facebook but then I lose my friends. Companies like — there was an interesting Article with Mark Zuckerberg on the increasing role of Facebook, many call it the Blue Earth, Facebook has so many customers that they are the most powerful company in the world from that perspective.
Now, with the recent activities going on in all the cases, Facebook is opening more the door so people understand the work and complexity and Zuckerberg, when he founded Facebook, he was not believing that he would create something which is even more powerful than government it is you wish to influence the opinion making and also setting standards which may violate regulation or force regulators to be very strict.
This reminds me on a presentation I gave in already about the most powerful economic entities that we have in the world, the top , and already then 46 were companies. So you are right in the sense of the companies strive to maximize the shareholder value, in particular in the non-European economies, the shareholder value, profits, it is I think prevailing while social corporate responsibility is something which is heavily debated, which is different in Europe, and if you ask me what we as international companies do, we try to understand the balance.
In order to also help us, to sustain our business, we have, of course, on one side to do the research to understand the future technologies and on the other hand side to think about the regulation and the impact. You innovate, not only on the customer side, but you innovate on the service side and then the product performance side based on the future of the technology where you have a common vision to develop that further.
With this, I would also like to open up the floor for questions — from the audience if they are — if people want to join the discussion.
Obviously, as a global operating company, there is a huge incentive to get harmonized regulation on the biggest blocks possible and Europe is a big economic block and having a harmonized view to deploy your market in, it is of course of great benefit to any global operator or even regional operator.
It is very hard to see what the future will bring. That was a thing that I was just rambling on. I think those frameworks, they will help to give anchor places for the development of both the technology as well as the regulation. He told me one test cost for them 2 million-dollars. He say, yes, the small part is participating in that.
It has to do with liability and just money again on how to move forward. Does that also mean that we already have to round up? You have still another — one second. I have the forum tonight and I need some time to prepare for that. It is always essential before you can even start to think about solutions. Yeah, I hope you had the time to write, Jamal Shahin, something down, what we discussed. Qing, J. Lopez eds. Guillemin, P. Friess, O. Vermesan, M. Harrison, H. Vogt, K. Konstantinos, M. Tomasella, S.
