Abstract

In this paper, I present the Carr-Benkler wager - a bet over whether free-market/economic or social forces will determine the future of the internet - and discuss its implications for the software engineering practices of Ultra-Large Scale (ULS) systems. As a result of considering the underlying forces behind the wager, I discuss three implications for the software engineering of Ultra-large scale systems. From these implications I suggest a set of topics that describe how we need to think about, teach, and develop software and software-related processes differently.
