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.\\"http\://rinexus.com/calendar/6416/dc401-october-meeting

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.
