EVALUATING THE DEVELOPMENT STEPS BASED ON LIFE-INSPIRED STRATEGIES FOR THE INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGIES

The paper presents an evaluation of the role of the prominent trends in the information and communications technologies (ICT) with relevant impact in modeling the information society (IS) development towards life-inspired strategies to face the actual challenges of world evolution. Taking into account the evolutions of the IS in the last decades, the complexity of the correlations between the ICT and the IS could be better approached with instruments and models that proved performance in the ICT systems development and reveal a deep connection with the legacy values and mechanisms the nature created in the living world . The paper also emphasizes the specific impact that Network Centric (NC) and Cloud concepts could have on IS and further on Knowledge Based Society (KBS), beyond their force as strategies of ICT, especially by lending their life-inspired features to the education and behavior of mankind, in terms of synchronization, innovation and efficient communication. Some relevant examples of the NC mechanism action, facing challenges as resources fading and technologies limits, are also analyzed in the paper. The conclusions point the importance of analyzing and valuing the huge potential of ICT strategical life-inspired development and in the same time propose to further use these elements as a refined knowledge innovating process, where mankind could find the proper way and pace of his evolution.
