The future of the Internet is pervasive and dominated by intelligent endpoints. In spite of this, Operators are pursuing a centralized approach for Next Generation Networks and Web actors are pushing the client server approach to such an extent that servers are now "inside" the network if not the network itself. This evolution contradicts the Internet foundations and could lead to paradoxes and an inconsistent infrastructure. The Future Internet has to be simple, economic, open, green and pervasive. It distributes intelligence at the edges and tries to limit the asymmetry between client and servers. Peer to peer and adaptive technologies enable a compelling service platform that exploits capabilities of terminals and leverages connectivity. They are slim means juxtaposed to the increasingly gigantic client-server datacenters. The complexity of the distributed service platform can be managed introducing autonomic functions in participating nodes. Bio-inspired algorithms and game theory mechanisms can support the quasi-optimal self management of the entire "service ecosystem" made out of "network of networks". The speech will present the context for this approach, the current status of the work, some experimental results and future steps to enable a highly distributed and user centered service platform for the Future Internet.
