Which metric measures the Internet? n Speed: powers of 10 (by threes) n Host Which metric measures the Internet? n Speed: powers of 10 (by threes) n Host growth: exponential n Number of pages: exponential n Number of possible paths: factorial

Lord Kelvin (1824 – 1907): “When you can measure what you are speaking about, Lord Kelvin (1824 – 1907): “When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it…”

The FS Metric n As the 21 st century evolves, new metrics will have The FS Metric n As the 21 st century evolves, new metrics will have to be developed, explored and tested for validity. n Many web sites and software tools appeal to the individualistic side of our personalities (as well as cultural and societal norms).

What does this prove? n Well… § Nothing. What does this prove? n Well… § Nothing.

What does this illustrate? n That individual perceptions are hard to quantify and thus What does this illustrate? n That individual perceptions are hard to quantify and thus measure.

How do we prove conjectures? n n With theorems How do we prove theorems? How do we prove conjectures? n n With theorems How do we prove theorems? ¨ With more theorems! ¨ Postulates ¨ Axioms

Remember Euclid? (~300 BC) n Formulated axiomatic system for geometry. n Stood for more Remember Euclid? (~300 BC) n Formulated axiomatic system for geometry. n Stood for more than 2, 000 years as the model for organized thinking. n Axioms are “self-evident truths. ” (Burton, 2003)

What are Internet axioms? n Words in all uppercase letters are offensive. n Back What are Internet axioms? n Words in all uppercase letters are offensive. n Back buttons are necessary. n Pop-ups are annoying. n Speed is good. n Clutter is bad.

Definitions (2) n Question: What is the fundamental purpose of a search engine? n Definitions (2) n Question: What is the fundamental purpose of a search engine? n Answer: To search the web.

Definitions (3) n First we need a scale. n How about 1 to 10? Definitions (3) n First we need a scale. n How about 1 to 10? n How about 0 to 100? n How about -3 to 3 with zero being neutral?

Definitions (4) n Lets select 0 to 100 with 0 being bad and 100 Definitions (4) n Lets select 0 to 100 with 0 being bad and 100 being good. Further, lets assume that we begin at 100 and subtract points as “errors” are encountered. (axioms violated)

Conclusions n n Metrics permeate, somehow, most fields of study. CIS is a field Conclusions n n Metrics permeate, somehow, most fields of study. CIS is a field where old metrics can be analyzed and applied. CIS is a field where new metrics can be formulated, tested and applied. That makes CIS interesting and entertaining!
