All Systems Down. A blow-by-blow record of one of the worst health-care IT crises in history and what CareGroup CIO John Halamka learned from it. Reader ROI What can happen if an old network is asked to carry new applications How standard disaster recovery protocols can fail Lessons learned from the four-day crisis Among the 30-odd CIOs who serve Boston’s world-famous health-care institutions, John Halamka is a star among stars. He has been CIO of the caregroup health organisation and its premier teaching hospital — the prestigious Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Centre — since 1998.

He helps set the agenda for the Massachusetts Health Data Consortium, a confederation of executives that determines health-care data policies for New England.

All of this has earned Halamka a considerable measure of renown. Wednesday thursday. 50 Great Examples of Data Visualization. Download details: Microsoft Network Monitor 3.1.

Data Mining: Text Mining, Visualization and Social Media. The Turing Test for artificial intelligence is a reasonably well understood idea: if, through a written form of communication, a machine can convince a human that it too is a human, then it passes the test. The elegance of this approach (which I believe is its primary attraction) is that it avoids any troublesome definition of intelligence and appeals to an innate ability in humans to detect entities which are not 'one of us'.

This form of AI is the one that is generally presented in entertainment (films, novels, etc.). However, to an engineer, there are some problems with this as the accepted popular idea of artificial intelligence. I believe that software engineering can be evaluated in a simple measure of productivity. We either create things that make the impossible possible - going from 0 to 1, or we create things that amplify some value, generally a human's ability to do something, - going from X to nX.
