Performativity\, Ideologies of Liveness\, and Listener-Consciousness in Electronic-Music Performance Mark Butler/University of Pennsylvania Speaker'\;s abstract\: In DJ sets and laptop performances\, an unprecedented level of technological mediation comes into conflict with the expected “liveness” of performance. As a result\, musicians frequently express various techno-performative anxieties in explanations of their performance approaches. In particular\, they are concerned that the audience experiences a performance\, one that is imbued with a sense of live presence\, rather than simply the playback of a recording or the clicking of a mouse. They work to convey this “presence” in a number of ways\, which include dancing\, other significant physical gestures\, and the use of carefully selected electronic hardware. The audience responds in kind\, thereby completing the liveness of the event. My talk will address these issues in both theoretical and analytical terms\, drawing material for discussion from interviews and field recordings made in Berlin in 2005–2007...

February 2007 rolled around and ShmooCon was just around the corner. Come hear the tale of how John hacked together a winning hacker arcade entry in just 4 weeks and got it through TSA without being sent to Gitmo.

She writes music and creates sound art using whatever tools are available\, from found objects to string quartets. She creates and builds her own electronic instrumnets\; plays theremin\, computer\, piano\, found objects and sculptures. She also makes interactive sound and video installations using various spatially oriented triggering devices and surveillance equipment... Mem1 is an electroacoustic hybrid that seamlessly blends the sounds of cello and electronics to create an original and cohesive performance...

There are firms though\, such as Apple\, Bang & Olufsen\, Alessi\, and Artemide that pur- sue a more radical approach\, via Design-Driven Innovation. Rather than starting from user needs and then design and develop the product\, they propose radically new visions and meanings that initially confound users but then even convert them. Roberto Verganti\, a Professor from Management of Innovation at Po- litecnico di Milano and currently a visiting Professor at Harvard Business School\, will present results from his research (which has been awarded the\\"Compasso d'\;oro\\"\, the most prestigious design award in Italy) on design driven innovation. 5\:10-6\:10 PM

We present examples in which we integrate the development of a theoretical model with the construction of an experimental system. We also discuss the implications of synthetic gene networks for biotechnology\, biomedicine and biocomputing. In addition\, we present integrated computational-experimental approaches that enable construction of first-order quantitative models of gene-protein regulatory networks using only steady-state expression measurements and no prior information on the network structure or function.

Seminar - Ray Tracing DESCRIPTION:\\"Fast and Robust Ray Tracing of General Implicits on the GPU\\" Aaron Knoll\, SCI Institute\, University of Utah In this paper\, we present a new stackless ray traversal algorithm optimized for modern graphics hardware\, and a correct inclusion-preserving reduced affine arithmetic (RAA) suitable for fragment shader languages. Shader metaprogramming allows for immediate and automatic generation of functions and their interval or affine extensions\, enhancing user interaction. Ray tracing lends itself to multi-bounce effects\, such as shadows and depth peeling\, which are useful modalities for visualizing complicated implicit functions. With this system\, we are able to render even complex implicits correctly\, in real-time at high resolution.

Answering this question will impact how we build computer systems to assist\, represent or interact with people in interactions with other agents such as negotiations and resource allocation. We identify four reasoning patterns that agents might use\: choosing an action for its direct effect on the agent'\;s utility\, attempting to manipulate another agent\, signalling information to another agent that the first agent knows\, or revealing or hiding information from another agent that the first agent itself does not know. We present criteria that characterize each reasoning pattern as a pattern of paths in a multi-agent influence diagram\, a graphical representation of games. We define a class of strategies in which agents do not make unmotivated distinctions\, and show that if we assume all agents play these kinds of strategies\, our categorization of reasoning patterns is complete and captures all situations in which an agent has reason to make a decision.

The responsibility for negotiating critical deals or contracts with landlords\, equipment leases\, vendors\, suppliers\, and clients lies personally and daily on a small business owner’s shoulders. The consequences of their negotiation skills today may dictate a business’ financial success or failure in the long term. This three part series is designed as an overview of successful negotiation strategies specifically with the small business owner in mind (although it would be practical for anyone). Using role play exercises\, lecture and Q&A\, emphasis is placed on collaborative techniques in situations that would be “real” to a start up or established small business owner/manager. Attendees will learn a generalized framework to continue to develop their negotiating skills outside of the seminar\, as well as understand real life and practical suggestions for business situations they might face every day.

MayBMS is based on a clean yet expressive query language that captures many important use cases of probabilistic databases\, including what-if queries and the conditioning of databases using new evidence. MayBMS employs a carefully designed succinct representation system for probabilistic databases called U-relations\, which nicely unifies various approaches to representing uncertain data\, such as c-tables\, relational\, in particular vertical\, decomposition\, and probabilistic graphical models. U-relations allow for the natural reuse of mature relational storage\, indexing and query processing techniques to build scalable probabilistic database systems...

A SWOT is the process of carefully inspecting the business and its environment through the various dimensions of Strengths\, Weaknesses\, Opportunities\, and Threats. Conducting a SWOT is a way to organize information and assign probabilities to potential events – both good and bad – as the basis for developing business strategy and operational plans. Strategic analysis is presented in this seminar as a five-step methodical process that will help to organize information and aid in planning. By applying management by objectives techniques\, you will learn how to establish specific goals and objectives\, which you commit to achieving. Through the process of strategic analysis\, you will also learn the need to consider when outcomes start to differ from expectations. This process is referred to at management by exception. When outcomes differ\, you must establish new strategies to deal with the change. By combining management by objectives and management by exception techniques\, you will be able to develop an effective strategic plan for your company.

The thread starts with the Programmer'\;s Apprentice project\, continues with the development of SharedPlan discourse theory and its implementation in Collagen\, and most recently includes task-based user interfaces and human-robot interaction. Our research reflects many important AI themes and issues over this period\, such as knowledge representation and reasoning\, planning and intent recognition\, learning\, and the interplay of human theory and computer engineering. I will conclude by describing in detail our recent work on DiamondHelp\, a generic task guidance system\, including a live demonstration. In Part 2\, on Thursday\, Feb 7th\, Candy Sidner (BAE Systems AIT) will describe our recent work on engagement and collaboration in human-robot interaction.

Colloquium - How to be an Engaging Robot DESCRIPTION:\\"Robots and People Collaborating\: How to be an Engaging Robot\\"Candy Sidner\, BAE Systems AIT When people collaborate\, in addition to using language to talk to one another\, they also employ a variety of verbal and non-verbal means to initiate\, maintain and end their interactions. In face-to-face interaction\, this process of \\"engagement\\" often occurs through gestures. In this talk I will describe the engagement process\, especially how people maintain engagement through mutual looking and conversational nodding. I will report on studies of people collaborating with a robot and show several videos of these interactions. Finally\, I will discuss recent research on initiating engagement\, and show videos of two different robots finding and engaging a person.

Kanellakis Memorial Lecture - Parallel Programming DESCRIPTION:\\"A hardware-design inspired methodology for parallel programming\\"Arvind\, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory\, MIT One source of weaknesses in parallel programming has been the lack of compositionality\; independently written parallel libraries and packages don'\;t compose very well. We will argue that perhaps traditional procedural abstraction and abstract data types don'\;t capture the essential differences between parallel and sequential programming. We will present a different notion of modules\, based on guarded atomic actions\, and view it as a resource to be shared concurrently by other modules. As opposed to implicitly or explicitly specifying parallelism in a program\, we think of parallel programming as a process of synthesis from a set of modules with proper interfaces and composition rules. We will draw connections between this hardware-design inspired methodology and traditional approaches to multithreaded parallelism including programming based on transactions.

You’ll never guess where it is… Beacon Hill in the shiny-new Sunbelt city of Dallas? There is a neighborhood just like it! Andrew Schiller\, founder of Woonsocket-based Location Inc./NeighborhoodScout.com\, a nationwide neighborhood search engine for home buyers and movers with 1.8 million unique visitors last year\, will be talking about their patented search technology that answers the first question most home buyers have\: “where should I focus my house hunt?”. The audience will try the algorithm by ‘building their ideal neighborhood’ on the site\, and finding the local neighborhood that best matches the ideal imaginary one. A sneak peak at NeighborhoodScout v2 will reveal flash-based maps\, data mining that has produced new levels of granularity for neighborhood crime\, appreciation rate\, and school ratings\, and ‘smart search’ taken to a new level. Andrew will be joined by Andy Couture\, VP of Business Development for the company.

Colloquium - Discrete curvature and shape operators DESCRIPTION:\\"Discrete Curvature for Physically-based Simulation and Shape Modeling\\"Denis Zorin\, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences New York UniversityDiscrete curvature and shape operators\, which capture complete information about directional curvatures at a point\, are essential in a variety of applications\: simulation of deformable surfaces (bending forces are determined by curvature)\, variational modeling and geometric data processing. In many of these applications\, objects are represented by meshes. Solving mesh evolution or optimization problems involving discrete curvature may be expensive\, as the dependence of discrete curvature on the vertex position is complex and highly nonlinear. The quality of the results and computational efficiency is greatly influenced by the choice of curvature discretization. I will discuss mathematical tools for evaluating discretization quality and increasing discretization efficiency and their use in the context of physically-based simulation and geometric modeling...

Colloquium - Developments in Holographic Algorithms DESCRIPTION:\\"Developments in Holographic Algorithms\\"Jin-Yi Cai\, University of Wisconsin - Madison and Radcliffe Institute\, Harvard University Valiant'\;s theory of holographic algorithms is a new design method to produce polynomial time algorithms. Information is represented in a superposition of linear vectors in a holographic mix. This mixture creates the possibility for exponential sized cancellations of fragments of local computations. The underlying computation is done by invoking the Fisher-Kasteleyn-Temperley method for counting perfect matchings for planar graphs\, which uses Pfaffians and runs in polynomial time. In this way some seemingly exponential time computations can be done in polynomial time\, and some minor variations of the problems are known to be NP-hard or #P-hard. Holographic algorithms challenge our conception of what polynomial time computations can do\, in view of the P vs. NP question.

Colloquium - Data-driven grasping and manipulation DESCRIPTION:\\"Data-driven grasping and manipulation\\"Nancy Pollard\, Carnegie Mellon UniversityData captured from human performances of activities ranging from the everyday through the extraordinary has become widely accessible over the past 10 years. The ability to download or capture human motion and process it in real-time has led to many new algorithms and new ways of thinking about character animation and robot control. However\, we do not yet know how to make the most effective use of this data. What is important about a given performance? How can it be modified to create realistic new scenarios? And what are the limits of this approach.can we ever create behavior that could be called dexterous from a collection of observed performances? In this talk\, I will focus on the problem of creating dexterous grasping and manipulation behaviors from observed performances. I will discuss how my ideas have changed over the past decade\, as we have gone from the idea that a grasp is made up of contact points between the hand and object through consideration of the hand geometry\, anatomical constraints\, and dynamic properties to the observation that grasps often involve preparatory sensing and manipulation actions which we have shown can reduce the effort needed to acquire an object. Results in computer animation and robot control\, as well as results from controlled human subjects experiments will be presented.

UIA uses \\"personal names\\" rather than traditional global names as handles for accessing personal devices remotely. Users assign these personal names via an ad hoc device introduction process requiring no central allocation. Once assigned\, personal names bind securely to the global identities of their target devices independent of network location. Each user manages one namespace\, shared among all the user'\;s devices and always available on each device. Users can also name other users to share resources with trusted acquaintances. Devices with naming relationships automatically arrange connectivity when possible\, both in ad hoc networks and using global infrastructure when available. We built a prototype implementation of UIA that demonstrates the utility and feasibility of these design principles. The prototype includes an overlay routing layer that leverages the user'\;s social network to provide robust connectivity in spite of network failures and asymmetries such as NATs\, a new transport protocol implementing a novel stream abstraction that more effectively supports the highly parallelized and media-oriented applications demanded on mobile devices\, and a flexible security framework based on proof-carrying authorization (PCA) that provides \\"plug-in\\" interoperability with existing secure naming and authentication systems.

In this two part talk I shall first describe a combination of image and geometric processing algorithms to efficiently reconstruct spatially realistic structural models of target proteins\, that are culpable in the spread of viral infections. Next\, I shall introduce a new class of algebraic surface spline finite elements\, and the use of irregular fast Fourier estimation methods in the very rapid computation of protein binding energetics\, essential for drug screening analysis and discovery.

I will first present our work on designing and building PRISM\, a scalable monitoring service that makes precision a first-class abstraction. PRISM quantifies (im)precision along a three-dimensional vector\: arithmetic imprecision (AI) and temporal imprecision (TI) balance precision against monitoring overhead while network imprecision (NI) addresses the challenge of providing consistency guarantees despite failures. Then\, I will describe how our implementation addresses the challenge of providing these metrics while scaling to a large number of nodes and attributes. Finally\, I will demonstrate how the unified precision abstraction enables new monitoring applications by presenting experiences from three applications we have built.

These data reveal the incredible diversity and heterogeneity in naturally occurring marine microbial populations. Over 6 million proteins are predicted in the GOS data. Besides nearly doubling the number of current proteins\, the GOS proteins add a great amount of diversity to known protein families and shed light on their evolution. The GOS proteins cover nearly all known prokaryotic protein families. In addition\, a large number of novel protein families are also predicted from these data. Several protein domains that were previously categorized as kingdom-specific\, have GOS examples in other kingdoms. Our analysis indicates that we are still far from discovering all protein families that exist in nature.

In the first project\, I show how to extend the original NMF approach to learning meaningful \\"audio parts\\" from speech and audio data. The audio parts robustly encode harmonic structures in the voices\, which are key acoustic features for building machines that can analyze complicated acoustic signals as well as human listeners. In the second project\, I investigate how to incorporate supervisory information like class labels in LDA models. In the supervised LDA\, topics are discovered by grouping words based on not only semantic similarity but also class label proximity. These topics yield compact representation with better predictive powers than those derived from the original unsupervised LDA...

The ultimate goal is to exploit human variability to find genetic causes for multi-factorial diseases such as cancer and coronary heart disease. Recent technology improvement enables the typing of millions of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for a large number of individuals. Consequently\, there is a great need for efficient and accurate computational tools for rigorous and powerful analysis of these data. In my talk I am going to concentrate on two computational problems\, which are an essential step in studying the data obtained by this technology\: Accurate and efficient significance testing with a correction for population stratification and estimating local ancestries in admixed populations.

We show that selection on these motifs operates across the genome\, maintaining an over-representation of -10 motifs in regulatory sequences while eliminating them from the nonfunctional and\, in most cases\, from the protein coding regions. In some genomes\, however\, -10 sites are over-represented in the coding sequences\; these sites could induce pauses effecting regulatory roles throughout the length of a transcriptional unit. For nonfunctional sequences\, the extent of motif under-representation varies across genomes in a manner that broadly correlates with the number of tRNA genes\, a good indicator of translational speed and growth rate. This suggests that minimizing the time invested in gene transcription is an important selective pressure against spurious binding. However\, selection against spurious binding is also detectable in the reduced genomes of host-restricted bacteria that grow at slow rates\, indicating that components of efficiency other than speed may also be important. Minimizing the number of RNAP molecules per cell required for transcription\, and the corresponding energetic expense\, may be most relevant in slow growers...

Using standard test platforms\, we compared a standard matrix to compositionally-adjusted matrices\, with relative entropy left unconstrained\, or constrained in various ways. We found that constraining the relative entropy of the compositionally adjusted matrix to a fixed value in the new compositional context generally produced the best results. We also found that if the sequences compared are not known to have strong compositional biases\, then it is still on average advantageous to use an adjusted matrix when the sequences satisfy certain simple length or compositional inequalities. Applying these findings to general-purpose database searches can lead to a significant improvement in retrieval performance\, with a minimal increase in execution time.

It'\;s time for us to converge\, to explore our common and diverse interests exploring the intersection and seeking an explosion of ideas......We invite all interested persons to submit papers identifying and amplifying technologies\, techniques and processes for implementing some aspect of nterdisciplinary interoperability in M&S. We place no restrictions on the original field of endeavor. We are actively seeking new ideas and methods.

Seminar - deep generative models DESCRIPTION:\\"An efficient way to learn deep generative models\\"Geoffrey Hinton\, Canadian Institute for Advanced Research & University of Toronto I will describe an efficient\, unsupervised learning procedure for deep generative models that contain millions of parameters and many layers of hidden features. The features are learned one layer at a time without any information about the final goal of the system. After the layer-by-layer learning\, a subsequent fine-tuning process can be used to significantly improve the generative or discriminative performance of the multilayer network by making very slight changes to the features. This approach leads to excellent generative models of handwritten digits and natural image patches. It can also be used to create hash functions that map similar documents to similar addresses\, thus allowing hash functions to be used for retrieving similar documents in a time that is independent of the size of the database.

As a result\, musicians frequently express various techno-performative anxieties in explanations of their performance approaches. In particular\, they are concerned that the audience experiences a performance\, one that is imbued with a sense of live presence\, rather than simply the playback of a recording or the clicking of a mouse. They work to convey this “presence” in a number of ways\, which include dancing\, other significant physical gestures\, and the use of carefully selected electronic hardware. The audience responds in kind\, thereby completing the liveness of the event. My talk will address these issues in both theoretical and analytical terms\, drawing material for discussion from interviews and field recordings made in Berlin in 2005–2007.

It is especially prominent in recent years due to our greatly improved data-generation capabilities in science and technologies. The method I present here is motivated by the \\"motif-finding\\" and \\"module-finding\\" problems in biology\, i.e.\, to find sequence patterns (i.e.\, \\"words\\") that seem to appear more frequent than usual in a given set of text sequences (i.e.\, sentences) and to find which of these \\"words\\" tend to co-occur in a sentence. A challenge in the motif-finding problem is that there are no spacings and punctuations between the words and the dictionary of \\"words\\" is unknown to us. Existing methods are mostly \\"bottom-up\\" approaches\, i.e.\, to build up the dictionary starting with single-letter words and then concatenate some existing words that appear to occur next to each other in sentences more frequently than chance. Our new approach is a top-down strategy\, which uses a tree structure to represent the relationship among all possible existing words and uses the EM algorithm to estimate the usage frequency of each word. It automatically trims down most of the incorrect \\"words\\" by letting their usage frequencies converge to zero...

You do it with the aim of getting people aligned and moving in one direction--the direction that will make your business really fly.  \; This topic covers\:  \; The vital difference between being a manager and being a leader The essential role of leadership in business\, and The basic technical and emotional intelligence skills of a leader The instructor for this seminar is\, James Crisafulli.

So now\, more than ever\, the ability to get ahead of the cash flow curve and maintain vendor relationships is going to be critical to your organization’s survival. Developed by Jeffrey S. Deckman\, who has started 6 companies and several not-for-profit organizations over the past 25 years\, the Fluid Cash Flow Management System was designed by him as a means to manage cash flow when times are the toughest. Invented after a visit from the dreaded IRS in the 1990’s\, Jeffrey credits this system with keeping his company solvent until he could work his way through the unfolding banking crises and a regional recession. And 10 years later it is still the backbone of his cash flow management strategy.

Come meet new prospects at our Northern Rhode Island Small Business Expo. It'\;s no secret that marketing your company is a key element in maintaining a successful business. Communicating by email\, postcards or newsletters is a great way to reach existing and potential customers. However\, face-to-face interaction with customers and potential customers and building relationships are always the best marketing tools. An EXPO is one of the best ways to reach a large audience in just one day. In today'\;s competitive market place\, trade shows can be very expensive. The Chamber knows the value of an exhibit\, and designed the Northern Rhode Island Small Business EXPO. Its a smart buy with a big-ticket value\, that does not carry the big-ticket price. The EXPO will be held on Wednesday\, October 23\, 2008 from 1-7p.m. As a chamber member\, you can exhibit your company for just $400.00 per booth. All booths are 8-feet across by 6-feet deep. Each is draped and comes with a six-foot table and two chairs. We deliver the greatest value for tradeshow exhibits by creating an environment conducive to networking and making direct sales. It'\;s a great opportunity to showcase your businesses products and services. Last year'\;s Expo was a huge success and was attended by more than 500 people. We anticipate an even greater attendance in 2008. Applications for booths are now being accepted.  \;For more information\, contact Jim Horton at jhurton@nrichamber.com or 451-1906. It'\;s a small investment that will deliver tremendous benefits.

I nevertheless uphold the viability of Benjamin'\;s writings as a compelling model of how to think about the relationship between technological change\, the aesthetic\, and how media engage the user'\;s body. For a case study\, I compare Benjamin'\;s theories with today'\;s computer-driven animation techniques such as rotoscoping and their impact on the mediation of corporeality on and beyond the screen.

Natural language search offers two immediate benefits realizable today\: improved retrieval accuracy via more accurate query interpretation\, and improved usability by making search engine use consistent with human interaction. Natural language also defines the appropriate representation of information needs to focus long-term research in information retrieval (IR) toward matching human-level competence in our automated systems. Supporting natural language\, however\, presents a significant challenge to existing IR methodology which has primarily focused on supporting keyword search. This thesis provides an early response to this challenge\, demonstrating that easier\, more accurate search can be realized today while at the same time highlighting the long road before us as we work toward meeting IR'\;s Turing Test.

Our work towards addressing these difficulties led our Navy research group to compare the readability and performance of several implementations of an algorithm of Navy interest (acoustic ray tracing). The implementations were written in C++ and two functional languages\: Erlang and MLTON. This talk will cover our benchmark results and other observations from our effort.

All major Web browsers and search engine sites are designed to support a single user\, working alone. However\, collaboration on information-seeking tasks is actually quite commonplace! For example\, students work together to complete homework assignments\, friends seek information about entertainment opportunities\, family members jointly plan vacation travel\, and colleagues jointly conduct research for their projects. In this talk I'\;ll discuss the findings of our surveys and interviews that reveal the challenges users face when attempting to collaborate on Web search using status quo technologies. Then\, I will present two systems\, SearchTogether and CoSearch\, that address these challenges. SearchTogether is an augmented Web browser that enables collaboration among groups of remote users via integrated chat\, group query histories\, automatic division of labor\, visitation awareness\, comments\, ratings\, and shared summaries. CoSearch is a system that enables collaboration among groups of co-located users by enabling users'\; mobile phones to augment a shared computer\, then using a browser with special queuing areas to manage query and URL requests sent from the supplementary devices.

The 555 chip is one of the oldest integrated circuits still available. It'\;s also one of the few ICs you can buy at the mall! Its hardiness -- and the fact that you can drive a speaker directly from its output pin -- have made it a natural choice for electronic music experiments in noise since the seventies. This workshop will provide a layman-friendly introduction to experimenting with the versatile 555 chip. Everyone will leave with a completed project that can be plugged into any amplifier\, computer speaker\, or home stereo. The circuit is controlled by varying the amount of infrared light hitting the board (like an optical theramin) and injecting the natural resistance of your body into the circuit via four touch points. If you participated in the September workshop with Jessica Rylan\, this is a pretty similar project using a different set of components. No experience necessary! All soldering tools and instruction will be provided. This is an easy project to make. Parts for 25 noisekits are available ($20 each)\; please RSVP to shawn@as220.org to get on the list. If you can'\;t make the workshop\, kits are also available at Craftland through December 2008.

Indeed\, there is an intrinsic connection between privacy and uncertainty as studied recently [A08]. We say that any such data is obscured if it is not in its clear or definitive form. Accordingly\, obscured data falls into two categories\: one that is fully recoverable (e.g.\, by obtaining the decryption key) and one that cannot be fully recovered. Obscured data poses a great challenge for query processing. For example\, to address the case in which the server is not trusted to decrypt the data\, we have devised efficient algorithms that use a homomorphic encryption scheme which allows us to answer aggregation queries on the ciphertext [GZ07b]. The goal of this work is to understand the fundamental techniques that would be needed by a query processor for obscured data and to have a workable architecture for query processing in the two kinds of obscured data.

What was useful and unique last year won’t be perceived that way in 2009. Our customers have changed dramatically\; our copy approach needs to change too.” “New market research shows 80% of consumers are now feeling exceptionally high levels of anxiety and distrust. The first thing I look for is Copy that Connects v. Copy that Lectures. Plus\, it helps to know the four top ways to wrap your product or service in confidence and give it the flavor of long-term value.” Bring your promotional materials for Gail to review.

We present Pulse\, a framework for processing continuous queries over stream attributes modeled as piecewise polynomial functions. We use piece-wise polynomials to provide a compact\, approximate representation of the input dataset and provide query language extensions for users to specify precision bounds to control this approximation. Pulse represents queries as simultaneous equation systems for a variety of relational operators including filters\, joins and standard aggregates. In the stream context\, we continually solve these equation systems as new data arrives into the system. We have implemented Pulse on top of the Borealis stream processing engine and evaluated it on two real-world datasets from financial and moving object applications. Pulse is able to achieve significant performance improvements by processing queries directly on the mathematical representation of these polynomials\, in comparison to standard tuple-based stream processing\, thereby demonstrating the viability of our system in the face of having to meet precision requirements.

One of the most important aspects of this event is the introduction of prominent women in the high-technology corporate environment who can serve as role models and raise the bar for what women can achieve in these fields. The primary attraction of this event will be a panel session in which top female executives from high-tech companies will discuss how barriers to women in their companies have been removed and what barriers remain. We are putting on this event to showcase the achievements of women in the high-tech industry and to counter the common notion that the field is completely male-dominated\, with no opportunities for women.

Some examples include data cleaning\, data integration\, sensor networks\, pervasive computing\, and scientific data management. Uncertainty can arise in both measured and predicted values\, thus\, requiring a statistical treatment. Predictive queries based on historic data are also useful in a range of domains like proactive system management\, inventory planning\, adaptive query processing\, sensor data management\, and financial planning. In this thesis\, I describe a series of techniques that I developed to answer various kinds of queries\, including JOIN and top-k queries\, on uncertain data. I also explore methods for effectively processing predictive queries. For example\, I discuss the use of skip-lists for building models that answer predictive queries on different time horizons. These techniques are instrumental for a workable architecture for query processing on uncertain data. I show experimental results that indicate that these techniques are practical.

As a result\, emerging computing technologies necessitate fundamental changes in the way architectures are designed and analyzed. The significant uncertainty associated with the assembly and operation of nanoscale devices must not only be modeled and accounted for\, but actively embraced as part of the design process. In stark contrast with today'\;s technology\, probabilistic modeling and analysis are primary requirements for the successful realization of nanoscale computer architectures. In this talk\, we consider how probabilistic modeling and analysis must be applied to nanowire crossbars\, the current frontrunner for the near-term realization of nanoscale architectures. Our primary focus is the problem of interfacing nanoscale wires with lithographically produced mesoscale wires via stochasticly assembled nanowire decoders. We then consider a more challenging\, and more general problem of constructing reliable circuits from unreliable gates. In this context\, we discuss how arbitrary circuits can be made to tolerate transient gate faults by employing error-correcting codes.

Fortunately\, we managed to get through the topic of social networking\, with lots of great info from members who actively social network.Inbound marketing is the art/science of getting your customers to come to you and your website. It has several components\, one of which is social networking\, while another is SEO\, search engine optimization. While many people have been successful with AdWords on Google\, and using Overture (Yahoo) along with other click-thru types of marketing\, that market has become incredibly saturated. That'\;s why many entrepreneurs are turning to SEO to improve their website rankings\, and thus\, visitor counts.We'\;ll discuss some of the basics of making a website search engine-friendly\, and talk about the weight of different factors in ranking a website.

This talk examines the relationship between information foraging theory and programmers'\; debugging behavior. The results demonstrate that information scent and spreading activation models can predict where programmers will need to navigate\, by analyzing the contents of bug reports and source code. These findings promise to inform the design of tools to save programmers'\; time while tracking down bugs.

If the transactional programming model is to realize its promise of simplifying the problem of writing correct and scalable concurrent programs\, debuggers will have to change. In this paper\, we introduce tm db\, an open-source library to provide debuggers with a general debugging support for transactional programs. The library helps debuggers provide programmers with generic transactional debugging features\, independent of the particular TM'\;s runtime internals. In addition\, it provides TM designers with a well defined interface for transactional debugging support. We discuss the basic debugging features we believe are essential to debug transactional programs\, how they are provided by the library\, and how they integrate into a general debugging infrastructure.

A great option for disposal of this waste is to bring these items to our collection day and help the environment while raising money for a worthy cause!First Lutheran Church in conjunction with Office Recycling Solutions and Bridge Technical Solutions will host a computer and electronics collection and document shredding event on Saturday\, May 30th to benefit First Lutheran.  A minimum 20 cents per pound will be collected for all electronic items\, but the organization will charge a higher fee for disposal of certain items such as TVs and air conditioners. Document shredding will be at $0.35 per pound.  This simple action will keep electronics out of the regular trash\, cut communities’ dumping costs and raise money for a good cause!  \;

But many people still have questions\: what exactly does '\;web 2.0'\; mean?where did this phenomenon come from?why does this matter to me and my organization or business?how do I move forward? Blogs\, Wikipedia\, Facebook\, Twitter\, Second Life and even eBay are all part of the same wave of innovation that lets individuals cluster around topics of interest - no matter where in the world they are. These clusters often generate better information faster than corporate sources or the mainstream media. As a result\, corporate and organizational interests must play catch-up with an evolving phenomenon that is\, frankly\, very foreign to their culture. Some have adapted well. Others\, not so much. Why?   This workshop demystifies both the technology and the phenomenon with simple explanations in down-to-earth language. Then small and large group discussions help you work through the issues and internalize what you'\;ve learned. No special knowledge is necessary. This workshop serves as the prerequisite to later hands-on sessions in the New Horizons computer lab.

June'\;s meetup will be more focused on business\, particularly a discussion on how each of us is dealing with tough times\, and what we are doing to get through it. Most members who have participated in previous roundtables of this nature take away at least 3 money-saving ideas that they put to use within a week or two. Customer retention\, service delivery\, and other ways that each of us is using to get through these fun times will be a large focus of the discussion. We'\;ll also present a couple of case studies\, courtesy of American Express\, our meetup sponsor\, who did a recent roundtable similar to our June meetup.Come\, bring your ideas\, questions\, and enthusiam! We look forward to seeing you there.

With a steady-thumping downbeat but much variation elsewhere — Onyango Wuod Omari\, the band'\;s drummer\, is a mischief-maker — the group makes its hybrid feel unlabored.\\" - New York Times

Andy Pavlo\, a CS graduate student at Brown will come by to talk about his research project called Graffiti Networks\, which apparently landed him and his collaborators into a little hot water last spring. Should be a very interesting talk with a good '\;lessons learned'\; section.\\"In response to the lack of user anonymity and long-term data persistence in existing P2P systems\, we developed the Graffiti Network distributed file sharing protocol that uses multiple third-party storage sites as a data replication and transfer medium between clients. Our approach is to use publically available web sites to store multiple copies of shared content. We use the term graffiti for our work since we are storing data in a way that non-network participants may regard as unsightly or unwanted vandalism.\\"

Murthy\, as founder of Infosys\, one of India'\;s largest information technology companies\, is considered by many to be one of the fathers of India'\;s information technology revolution. He will discuss India'\;s national strides\, its powerful new international position\, and the role technology has played. The Ogden Lectures were established in memory of Stephen A. Ogden Jr.\, a member of the Brown Class of 1960\, who died in 1963 from injuries he suffered in a car accident. His family established the lecture series in 1965 as a tribute to his interest in international relations. Previous Ogden lecturers have included former President of Brazil Fernando Henrique Cardoso\, Queen Noor of Jordan\, former Canadian Prime Minister Kim Campbell\, media mogul Ted Turner and former Sen. John Glenn\, among others.

DESCRIPTION:As the crisis in world markets has made credit difficult to obtain\, preserving cash flow and/or increasing the value of the company\, has become a priority for businesses. One option that management might think about is the Research & Development (R&D) Tax Credit. Recent legislation contains revisions at both the Federal and State level which extends this benefit and could help businesses recover millions in tax credits. Companies many times are able to qualify for these credits—activities that your engineering or technical staff may regard as routine may qualify as experimental development. 62% of companies eligible to claim an R&D tax credit do not do so. The seminar will provide specifics of the R&D tax credit program and help attendees understand how they can use the program to reduce both their Federal and State tax liability. TMG Consulting Group will outline the types of R&D costs and activities that are eligible\, provide an overview of the recent changes to the tax code and explain the potential impact on a business’s bottom line\, preserving cash flow and increasing the asset value of the company.

They only gave him 20 minutes. We'\;ll give him a whole hour and see if he can get all the way to the end.Selling currency and services for massively multiplayer games are often viewed as a cottage industry\, but it is in fact a half-billion dollar industry that profits off of malware distribution and sweatshop labor. Its also a conflict between the companies behind these games who want to keep a fair playing field\, and the people trying to profit from them using techniques such as social engineering\, keyloggers and spamming\, amongst others. This presentation discusses the recent history of these synthetic economies\, how they remain undetected and in operation\, and the ways they can affect both virtual and real-world economies.

To reading\, writing\, and arithmetic\, we should add computational thinking to every child'\;s analytical ability. Computational thinking involves solving problems\, designing systems\, and understanding human behavior by drawing on the concepts fundamental to computer science. Thinking like a computer scientist means more than being able to program a computer. It requires the ability to abstract and thus to think at multiple levels of abstraction. In this talk I will give many examples of computational thinking\, argue that it has already influenced other disciplines\, and promote the idea that teaching computational thinking can not only inspire future generations to enter the field of computer science but benefit people in all fields.Host\: Maurice Herlihy

OCaml is used for building everything from trading systems to research infrastructure to user interfaces to systems administration tools. This talk will discuss the motivations behind Jane Street'\;s adoption of OCaml\, and why we think that statically typed functional programming languages are a good fit for the world of trading and finance.

We discussed new features of CS5\, including. 64-bit after effects Cannon and Red footage native in premier Rotoscoping will be “auto-rotoscoping” – won’t be a panacea\, but promises to be cool Foundry 3d Motion Tracker – have to buy it\, but will interact with CS5. Adobe raised price of upgrades\, but reduced cost of new with ed discount – should be $550 or so. It’s expected Mid-May Matt led a Maya demo of Volumetric Lighting in Mental Ray. I can’t begin to describe it\, but you can see it yourself on his website at mattpaquin.com Some other websites to check out\, as shared by our attendees\: Rifcfilms.com Thecirclefilm.com Theyreusingtools.com The989project.com Watched FX trailer of “The Circle” and selected fight and FX scenes from Dan Byer’s five-episode science fiction series. Holocore\, a plug in for After Effects\, was used\, along with a lot of after effects\, a little Maya (including a helicopter)\, Shatter\, particle systems and Psychore (might’ve spelled that wrong) for digital rain\, which we analyzed in slo-mo. We discussed the online learning opportunities at FXPHD – half the cost of a CE class We watched Go Shusaki work Mel had done\, some compositing for an oddball PowerRangers spoof\, and we saw a commercial Anthony worked on for John Medeiros Jewelry AE Paralax was used to composite seasonal photos and photos of models. No actual footage was shot\, but the spot achieved a very footage-like feel. Finally we watched attendee Michael Wood fight Donnie Yen (check YouTube)

The review will be led by Steve Wilcox\, Ph.D.\, the current Human Interaction Section Chair of the IDSA. Steve is on the AAMI Human Factors committee that developed the standard and is a contributing author to HE75 content.   What is the agenda? Steve will present an overview of the Standard’s contents and intention for use\, three examples of how it could be used\, and mediate a discussion/Q&A session.   What is the AAMI/ANSI HE 75 standard? The standard was developed by the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) Human Factors committee in cooperation with the FDA\; it supplants HE48\, which was written in the mid 80s\, to provide design guidelines for user interface development in medical devices.   It is essential for the medical device designer to be well versed in the many regulatory standards that apply to the healthcare industry in order to contribute as critical member of the device development team. This is especially true for the human factors standards since they pertain specifically to the user interaction element of the design.   Over the past decade or so the FDA has started really focusing on the fact that use error was the source of the majority of adverse events (nice word for really bad things regarding the patient). This focus translated into an emphasis on human factors and device ease-of-use (reference 21CFR820.30). It is recognized that the most effective way to mitigate use error is through the design of the device in the first place (as opposed to training or instruction for use).   Who should attend? Medical Device Industry Professionals\, Industrial Designers\, Quality Engineers\, Mechanical Engineers\, Software Engineers\, Human Factors Engineers.     Thank you!  Free feel to contact me with any questions you may have.

The goal of an automated designer is to produce auxiliary structures that speed up user queries\, while not using more than the allotted resource budget (typically disk space). Most existing research has been done in the context of commercial row store databases such as Microsoft SQL Server or IBM DB2. In fact\, every commercial database ships with some sort of a tool that can provide design recommendations for the consideration of the DBA (database administrator). An automated tool is necessary not simply because a human DBA is not always available but because the complexity of the design problem is constantly increasing\: new auxiliary structures and query processing methods are introduced in existing commercial databases\, and more users and queries are being serviced.

Presenters share engaging stories\, workshops teach creative skills\, and discussions reframe perspectives. A Better World by Design is an immersive experience\, one that deepens our understanding of the power of design\, technology\, and enterprise to reshape our communities and sustain our environment. Why is our conference different? A Better World by Design is completely student organized and places innovation over individual success. We encourage the free sharing of ideas among engineers\, designers\, policy makers\, professors and students and create a collaborative platform to produce tangible change\, locally and globally. The conference will expose you to different perspectives—both theoretical and practical—on many relevant issues. How does an architect build for the poor? In 2008\, we heard from Architecture for Humanity Founder Cameron Sinclair and learned to build with bamboo from RISD Professor of Architecture Miya Buxton. How can an enterprise be both profitable and empowering? Last year\, we heard from Project H Founder Emily Pilloton on community perspectives in product design. Dozens of pertinent questions like these are addressed in presentations\, panels\, workshops\, tours\, and projects. And you’ll meet hundreds of inspiring professionals and students at social events. Any casual conversation could spark opportunities for collaboration.

(No\, I’m not making any of this up.)This Wednesday\, Jan Hesthaven - Brown Professor of Applied Math\, Director for the Center for Computation and Visualization\, Associate Director of ICERM\, and all-around-brilliant-good-guy will give an overview of ICERM\, including ways that the Institute and the local Geek community might work together.Please RSVP on Facebook and spread the word!As always\, for first-timers here are the details on the Geek Dinners\:The event itself is FREE! It’s totally casual.

Mosec DESCRIPTION:Welcome back\, everyone! Hope you had a great August off. Time to get the Geek Dinners re-started full force\:Earlier this month Providence’s Betaspring* unveiled another bumper crop of start-ups. One of the standouts – Mosec (as in “mobile secretary”) – was founded by a young team from Texas comprised of a former professional poker player\, a child actor and a professional martial artist. (I’m not making this up.)Mosec’s initial product is a mobile app aimed at CRM users. It enables you after any phone call to create a “voice note”\, auto-transcribe it\, and post it into to your CRM system. They’ve already integrated with 3 popular CRM systems – Salesforce\, Highrise and Batchbook from Providence-based Batchblue.Best of all\, post-Betaspring\, the team has decided to continue building Mosec right here in Providence (we love it when that happens).At the September Geek Dinner\, Bernard (the gambler)\, David (the fighter) and Austin (the actor) will give an overview of their company and demo their fast-evolving service.See you there!*Disclosure\: I’m a Partner in Betaspring. As always\, for first-timers here are the details on the Geek Dinners\: The event itself is FREE! It’s totally casual. Wear whatever\, bring whoever\, arrive and take off whenever! And don’t worry about eating or not – come famished or full – eating is optional\, and frankly\, the least of the festivities (that’s not say the food isn’t good – it’s actually great) Topics of conversation will vary as they will at any gathering of geeks\, but many of us will be talking about AJAX\, mash-ups\, start-ups\, new devices\, innovative business models\, interaction design\, social computing\, digital art\, web services\, etc. etc. etc. There is Wi-Fi so bring your connected device of choice.

But how useful are they in reality? Five panelists will discuss their own experiences in trying to use the Internet to facilitate people’s ability to secure their rights and shape the political and economic decisions that affect their lives. They will reflect on the potential and limits of information and communications technology as a political resource and how we might use it to better advantage.

Launched in 2007\, the RI Research Alliance supports collaborative research projects well-positioned to attract significant federal investment.The program annually awards seed funding to support the catalytic stage of research and development activities for new products and services that lead to follow-on funding or commercialization. These awards are a direct investment in public and private partnerships that are pioneering Rhode Island’s future through their technology innovations.Through the RI Research Alliance Grants Program\, the RIEDC has committed $4 million over the next five years as a matching contribution to a five-year\, $20 million federal grant by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to the State of Rhode Island. The state’s contribution was a significant factor that helped secure the NSF funding by demonstrating Rhode Island’s support to build a stronger statewide platform for collaborative\, multi-institutional\, innovative research across the state’s academic and commercial research institutions. The NSF grant is designed to stimulate research at nine of the state’s institutions of higher education. The funding is intended to further develop the state’s research competitiveness and productivity\, fund outreach and workforce development initiatives and increase career pathways in science\, technology\, engineering and math.Application guidelines for the Rhode Island Research Alliance 2012 Collaborative Research Grant program are now available. Click here to download guidelines. Through this grant program\, the Rhode Island Science and Technology Advisory Council (STAC) will award funding of up to $200\,000 per project to collaborative\, multi-institutional\, multi-disciplinary catalytic research and development activities across the state’s academic and commercial research institutions.  These awards are a direct investment of state funds to teams that are pioneering Rhode Island’s future through new ideas\, technologies and innovations that are well positioned to attract follow-on investment.    Pre-proposals are due November 21\, 2011 with full proposals due January 26\, 2012 Collaborative grants are awarded to support a catalytic stage of inter-organizational\, inter-disciplinary\, collaborative research projects that are well positioned to attract substantial follow-on investment\, have significant potential for technology development/commercialization\, and/or advance bench-to-bedside and bedside-to community translational efforts or advance or leverage Rhode Island’s core capacity for systems and design thinking.  Approximately $1\,500\,000 is available to support collaborative projects that propose work in the three core sectors identified by the Rhode Island Science and Technology Strategic Plan as areas of core strength for the State\:  marine sciences\, life sciences and energy and the environment.  Approximately $800\,000 of these funds are in collaboration with the RI NSF EPSCoR grant and will be dedicated to projects that focus on the research themes of RI NSF EPSCoR and/or utilize the existing three RI NSF EPSCoR Centers.  Those themes are\: marine life sciences\, climate change effects on marine life especially in Narragansett Bay\, and the use of technologies and approaches such as genomics\, proteomics\, cyber-infrastructure\, bioinformatics\, scientific visualization and computational biology to address the scientific questions at the heart of the RI NSF EPSCoR grant.  More information on the RI NSF EPSCoR award can be found at www.riepscor.org Additional information on the program can be found at www.stac.ri.gov

Put simply\, it's a loan to you by an investor that can convert to shares at any time\, after a particular date\, or the next time your company raises capital. Entrepreneurs like it because\, through simple documents\, it infuses the business with badly needed cash to get things off the ground. Investors like it because it provides a priority return ahead of the founder common and typically postpones the valuation discussion\: an abstract and speculative process at best because...well...you're a start-up\, and no one knows what you're worth.In this Workshop\, Chris Graham of Edwards Wildman Palmer\, will review the basics of convertible debt\, both the potential hazards and the optimal conditions\, which can make (or break) a sweet deal for your company and your investors.

We’ll be kicking back with food and drink in their swanky cool space. Parking is free on and off street (starts at 5 pm). Drinks and mingling starts at 6\, so come early!We're playing co-host with our friends the Providence Web Application Security Group and Greg Knaddison\, Acquia's Director of Security Services (aka Head of Drupal Security) will be giving a talk 'live via sattelite' (ok\, Skype). The title of the presentation is \\"Drupal as a Security Vendor\\". He will show the methodology that is used in Drupal for handling security issues and comparing/contrasting with how other similar projects do it. Greg has said that this presentation will be more \\"OWASPy\\" than \\"Drupaly\\".Greg won't actually be in attendance\, we'll be trying out a \\"virtual\\" presentation where Greg will present live from Denver over a Skype connection.Don't let the techy topic fool you - this is a great conversation about just how much is done in Drupal to counteract the 'Open Source means insecure' FUDdle that is so often thrown about when suggesting Drupal as a platform on client projects.A huge thank you also to our hosts at Lullabot and especially to our speaker\, Greg Knaddison.Please forward this on to anyone who might be interested and please bring a friend or colleague along!

Yes\, a patent will provide protection against others making\, using or selling your product\, but there are things a patent won't and can't do for you. In this Workshop\, Dan Holmander of Barlow Josephs & Holmes will review the basics of patent protection and whether filing for a patent is recommended for your business. As a bonus\, he'll review the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act\, and what the most significant changes in the US patent system in decades mean to you.

Through our annual convention and a series of regional salons held throughout the year\, we strengthen our community\, inspire action and serve as an incubator for ideas that challenge the status quo and ultimately affect change in the public sphere.The seventh annual gathering of the Netroots (formerly known as the YearlyKos Convention) will be held June 7-10 at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence\, RI. Netroots Nation 2012 will include panels led by national and international experts\; identity\, issue and regional caucuses\; prominent political\, issue and policy-oriented speakers\; a progressive film screening series\; and the most concentrated gathering of progressive bloggers to date.The origin of Netroots Nation is traced to a time when a tremendous and growing number of citizens gathered every day in the virtual world to raise their collective voice and proactively influence their government. That group is broadly called the Netroots and has since grown to include progressive organizations and politicians who use new media technologies to communicate with their constituents.The convention rebranded to Netroots Nation in 2007 in an effort to more accurately reflect the makeup of its audience and mission of implementing programs that teach and empower Netroots communities to affect change in the public sphere. Past gatherings have included a Presidential Leadership Forum that drew seven Democratic candidates\, a surprise visit from Al Gore\; an interactive Ask the Speaker session with Nancy Pelosi\; and hundreds of panels\, roundtables\, training sessions\, workshops and keynotes.Netroots Nation is a project of Bloggerpower.org\, a 501(c)4 organization\, with the generous support of the Netroots Foundation.
