Organizations of Restricted Generality (ORGs) is an architecture providing foundations for the development of privacy-friendly Internet applications by incorporating cloud computing into clients. Clients range from single chip sensors, handhelds, notebooks, desktops, and entertainment centers to huge data centers. ORGs are well suited for the issues posed by, what I call, a "Perfect Disruption":
The "Perfect Disruption" is rapidly gathering strength and no one knows the outcome. Clearly, it will significantly impact big players like AMD, ARM, Cisco, Google, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, Yahoo!, and Via. How can basic research help them respond to the disruption? By addressing fundamental questions like the following:
