Abstract: Access to shared data is provided today by distributed file 
        systems and databases.
        In this paper, we explore certain usage and technological trends
        that will radically change the way shared data is used in the
        future.
        The usage trends include the growing need to access shared data
        from anywhere, increasingscale, and the increasing importance 
        of efficient search
        The technology trends include the advent of portable machines,
        the availability of software and hardware for using diverse 
        types of data, and the growing diversity of network speeds and
        capabilities.
        These trends induce fundamental research problems in the areas 
        of adaptive system behavior, secure remote execution and 
        extensibility.
