Software licensing drags innovation

Often, we think that the primary obstacles to innovation are technological. Can we run the right analytics on this data? Will we be able to maintain service performance given the potential scale of our peak workload? What do we have to do to make this system more secure?

But nothing happens without money. And, when it comes to software, monetary requirements are largely dictated by vendor licensing.

Unfortunately, software vendors are struggling to keep up with the reality of the New IT, especially when it comes to virtualization and the cloud.

Virtualization presents new licensing challenges, because it changes the way IT organizations utilize machines and processor cores. So it has rendered conventional models of utilization for a given instance of a piece of software obsolete.

Some vendors have responded to this change by treating virtual machines somewhat like they once treated physical hosts. Other vendors continue to focus on the physical host-but place restrictions on how many VMs can reside on those hosts. Others still refuse to embrace the notion of virtualization in any meaningful way.

This fragmented licensing landscape is a real problem for IT. For one thing, licensing schemes that make it excessively expensive for IT to leverage virtualization have a chilling effect on data center evolution. For another, disparate licensing schemes add to already burdensome IT complexity. In addition, a large part of the challenge in predicting software costs is due to the consistent changing of licensing schemes in unpredictable ways and at unpredictable intervals by vendors.

Things get even trickier when IT starts to adopt private, public and hybrid clouds. If I have an enterprise license for my database, why should my cloud provider have to charge me for hosted instances of that database? Conversely, if I am paying for cores and/or VMs, how do I make sure I stay in compliance as I automatically and dynamically move workloads between my own data center and one or more cloud providers?

These are, of course, technological issues as well as monetary ones. To effectively govern software compliance across hybrid cloud environments, IT needs open, standardized protocols for exchanging information about entitlements and usage. These protocols will enable IT, software vendors and cloud providers to provide each other with the transparency and automation necessary to track compliance and make fact-based decisions about appropriate licensing fees.

But protocols alone won't do the trick. Software vendors, cloud providers and IT organizations also have to decide upon policies that will appropriately compensate developers for their IP without hampering IT's ability to take advantage of the tremendous innovation taking place in the delivery of digital infrastructure capacity. Until those policies are clarified, licensing will remain the land mine that keeps IT from striding as boldly into virtualization and the cloud as it ought to.

How are you handling software licensing as you move to the cloud? Have you run into any major problems or cost snafus? Feel free to share your experiences and solutions below.

2 HotMobile papers that grabbed us: WalkSafe and SpinLoc

WalkSafe keeps pedestrians from walking into cars; SpinLoc lets you twirl to figure out where you are

The recent HotMobile conference in San Diego attracted dozens of top mobile technology researchers who presented papers on their latest findings. While we didn't attend the event, a couple of papers jumped out at us while browsing the agenda.

Researchers from Dartmouth University's Mobile Sensing Group and the University of Bologna presented a paper titled "WalkSafe: A Pedestrian Safety App for Mobile Phone Users Who Walk and Talk While Crossing Roads." Their research resulted in a free app called WalkSafe that's been on the Android Market since last year and that "operates at the intersection of vision, learning and mobile computing."

ANDROID APPS: 10 best new ones for fun and, uh, work
The app exploits a mobile phone's back camera to detect approaching vehicles and alert the user, via vibration or sound, of the impending danger. It also uses the phone's accelerometer sensors. The researchers used machine learning algorithms to allow the phone to detect vehicles during active calls. Studies of the app have shown it delivers few false positives, though doesn't identify all oncoming vehicles.

The researchers acknowledge that other apps exist that allow users to text or email and walk by showing the road ahead as a background image, but cite findings that even with such an app phone users are probably too distracted to attend to their own safety. Other apps have been developed to initiate communications between cars and pedestrians, but the researchers say broad implementation would be very involved and "perhaps, unlikely."

Future research includes improving vehicle detection to include bicycles, motor bikes and more, as well as improving detection of vehicles at night, since that's when so many pedestrian accidents occur. Barbara Wang, one of the Dartmouth researchers who is now at Google, says there are no plans to extend the app beyond Android anytime soon.
A fresh spin on wireless localization

Another research paper that caught our eyes was "SpinLoc: Spin Once to Know Your Location," from researchers at Duke University and the University of South Carolina. The researchers say that while location-based apps have exploded of late, most don't involve indoor localization, which could be used, for example, to orient yourself in a shopping mall or big engineering building on a college campus.

Souvik Sen from Duke describes the research as being about indoor localization using existing Wi-Fi deployments. "The technique requires no painful war driving, but requires the user to spin around once to find her location. As the user spins, we find that her body blocks the incoming WiFi signal. The dip in signal strength is the highest when her body is exactly between the access point and her phone. Thus by finding the minimum signal strength and using the corresponding phone compass value, it is possible to find the direction of the AP from her phone. If we can hear multiple APs (a very general setting), we can triangulate with these directions, and find the user's location. Preliminary work shows a localization accuracy of 5 meters, and we are hoping to reduce that in our future work."

Who knows, maybe WalkSafe and SpinLoc will need to be combined some day to keep people from twirling into oncoming shopping carts.
