Monday, October 5, 2009 Computer History Museum Mountain View, California (directions) Register Here! Overview In October 2007, Google and IBM announced the first pilot phase of the Academic Cloud Computing Initiative (ACCI), which granted several prominent U.S. universities access to a large computer cluster running Hadoop, an open source distributed computing platform inspired by Google’s file system and MapReduce programming model.
In February 2008, the ACCI partnered with the National Science Foundation to provide grant funding to academic researchers interested in exploring large-data applications that could take advantage of this infrastructure. This resulted in the creation of the Cluster Exploratory (CLuE) program led by Dr. Nearing the two year anniversary of this collaboration, the National Science Foundation, Google, and IBM will be jointly sponsoring a meeting for the CLuE project principal investigators (PIs). Schedule at a Glance Morning Session (08:00 - 08:30) Introductions.
Why You Shouldn't Not Go to FOCS. You can now register on-line for FOCS which includes the 50th celebration. Early registration deadline is October 1. Hotel rate good until October 9th or while supplies last. Be sure to register at the correct FOCS site and not the fake focs2009.org. There are some understandable reasons why you might not go to FOCS. It costs money. It takes time. You have a conflict or other responsibilities.
But recently I've started to hear a new excuse. I don't have a paper at FOCS. I've heard students say they are embarrassed to go to FOCS without a paper. Hogwash. I and many others went to every STOC and FOCS (and Complexity) as a grad student usually without a paper to give. You should go to FOCS because you are a theorist and not just go only when you have the chance to toot your own horn. SEAL 2008 Homepage. IDEAL 2007. IDEAL is an annual conference dedicated to emerging and challenging topics in intelligent data analysis and engineering and their associated learning paradigms. After successful recent events in Burgos (2006), Brisbane (2005), Exeter (2004), Hong Kong (2003), and Manchester (2002), IDEAL 07 will be held in the well-established, vibrant midland city of Birmingham, England, the second largest city in the UK.
IDEAL'07 will provide a stimulating forum for presenting and discussing the latest theoretical advances and real-world applications in Intelligent Data Engineering and Automated Learning. The IDEAL'07 conference will take place 16th-19th December 2007 at the University of Birmingham, home to Cercia, the Centre of Excellence for Research in Computational Intelligence and Applications. More information on the conference, including details of conference registration will posted on this website in the coming months.
ACHI08 Call for Papers. The inaugural conference on Advances in Computer-Human Interaction, ACHI 2008, is a result of a paradigm shift in the most recent achievements and future trends in human interactions with increasingly complex systems. Adaptive and knowledge-based user interfaces, universal accessibility, human-robot interaction, agent-driven human computer interaction, and sharable mobile devices are a few of these trends. ACHI 2008 brings also a suite of specific domain applications, such as gaming, e-learning, social, medicine, teleconferencing and engineering. The ACHI 2008 initiates a series of events targeting traditional and advanced paradigms for computer-human interaction in multi-technology environments.
The conference covers also fundamentals on interfaces and models, and highlights new challenging industrial applications and research topics. The conference has the following tracks: INTER: Interfaces SYSTEMS: Interactive systems DEVICES: Interaction devices MODELS: Principles, theories, and models. Supernova 2007::Face-to-Face Networking Trumps Pane. Nick Douglas at Supernova SAN FRANCISCO — In my account of Supernova 2007 yesterday, I didn’t mention one of the things that really irked me about the conference: the silence. When panelists were on the huge stage at the main ballroom in the Westin St. Francis Hotel, the large audience sat silent typing away at their laptops. While some sessions ended with a formal Q&A in which attendees got up and made the long trek to the microphone, most stayed put, making the sessions more like speeches than participatory discussions. With a room full of such smart people, you’d think they’d have a lot more to contribute, but the talking didn’t really begin until the breaks, when entrepreneurs were pitching their products left and right, and full-on business schmoozing was overflowing into the hallways.
On the second day of the conference, I attended a panel called “The Social Web.” “So what’s next for the social web?” Greg Reinacker of NewsGator said something similar. Martin Varsavsky Related.

HomePage - Kwiki. August 25-27, 2006 We've invited about 200 Friends Of O'Reilly (aka Foo), people who're doing interesting works in fields such as web services, data visualization and search, open source programming, computer security, hardware hacking, GPS, alternative energy, and all manner of emerging technologies to share their works-in-progress, show off the latest tech toys and hardware hacks, and tackle challenging problems together.
We'll have some planned activities, but much of the agenda will be determined by you. We'll provide space, electricity, a wireless network, and a wiki. You bring your ideas, enthusiasms, and projects. We all get to know each other better, and hopefully come up with some cool ideas about how to change the world. Foo Camp is as much fun as participants make it. We'll put the program together on Friday evening at about 30pm, so if you want to lead a session, sign up for a slot then.

Open space session scheduling History[edit] Unconferences often use variations on the Open Space Technology format / method developed by Harrison Owen in the mid 1980s. Owen's 1993 book Open Space Technology: a User's Guide discussed many of the techniques now associated with unconferences, although his book does not use that term. The term "unconference" first appeared in an announcement for the annual XML developers conference in 1998.[2] The term was used by Lenn Pryor when discussing BloggerCon and was popularized by Dave Winer, the organizer of BloggerCon, in an April 2004 writeup.
The first BloggerCon was held October 4–5, 2003 at Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society. Sarah Winge, the organizer (with Tim O'Reilly) of Foo Camp, an early unconference, drew on her experience of open space and conversations with Harrison Owen to develop the format.[3] The first Foo Camp happened October 10–12, 2003, in Sebastopol, California. Format[edit] Examples[edit] References[edit] BarCampBoulder. Wow, it's been like 6 years since joe pezzillo, danny newman, andrew hyde, myself, and other awesome folks put on the first bar camp boulder w/ help from david cohen, kimbal musk, dan lurie, mike sitarzewski, adam rubenstein, dl thomas, penguin and many many others. it was awesome. apologies if i missed you (it has been a while) & feel free to add your name here ... we hunkered down in the old medium (now oneriot sapce on east pearl). it was tight, sweaty, and raw, but we had ample coffee and fod and had a great time. we even introduced dave rogers to technology. it's time we do it again. as david cohen put it, "@kcbigring barcamp!

Foo Camp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedi. The event started as a joke between Tim O'Reilly and Sara Winge, O'Reilly's VP of Corporate Communications. Sara had always wanted to run a foo bar, an open bar for Friends of O'Reilly, at one of O'Reilly's conferences. That joke morphed into a brainstorm after the dot com bust left O'Reilly with lots of unused office space in its new buildings, creating the opportunity for Foo Camp. The first FOO Camp was held in August, 2003, and had approximately 200 attendees.[1] There was eventually a Foo Bar[2] at the camp.
Tim O'Reilly describes the goal of his company as "changing the world by spreading the knowledge of innovators. " Other events[edit] In 2005, a complementary alternative BarCamp was created by a past attendee of Foo Camp and a few individuals who were interested in organizing their own version of Foo Camp, and hosted at the Socialtext offices in Palo Alto, California, by Socialtext founder Ross Mayfield, with an open invitation to anyone who wanted to join.
