This document describes a proposed solution called Smarter Campus that uses analytics and optimization to improve research collaboration at universities. It aims to help researchers identify funding opportunities, form interdisciplinary teams, find and allocate resources, and collaborate across organizations more effectively. The solution would analyze text, utilize social networks and optimize project staffing using mathematical models. It was presented by several IBM researchers and software engineers and aims to partner with universities to create a "Smarter Planet" through improved research.
This document discusses emerging technological trends in education such as mobile learning, games-based learning, and BYOD (bring your own device). It also covers open practices like open resources, open courses, and open accreditation. The document outlines challenges for teachers in adopting new technologies and approaches despite rhetoric and funding. It proposes learning design as a way to shift from implicit to explicit design approaches. Finally, it introduces metaphors like ecologies, memes, spaces, and rhizomes for conceptualizing new approaches to learning in an open world.
Candidates have wide latitude under the Constitution to lie in political ads and campaigns due to free speech protections. While the FTC prevents false advertising of products, politicians are not bound by these rules. Negative advertising attacking opponents personally became more common in the 1980s by implying they are soft on crime or a threat to the nation. However, the FCC once ruled that a radio ad containing a racial slur must be broadcast in Atlanta due to free speech rights.

This document summarizes a review article on type 2 diabetes mellitus. It discusses the pathophysiology, epidemiology, screening, diagnosis, and management of type 2 diabetes. Some key points include:
- Type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion, accounting for 90% of diabetes cases worldwide.
- Rates of type 2 diabetes have increased dramatically in recent decades due to obesity and decreased exercise.
- Screening for type 2 diabetes involves measuring fasting plasma glucose levels, and an oral glucose tolerance test may also be used for diagnosis.
- Management of type 2 diabetes focuses on lifestyle changes as well as medications to lower blood sugar and prevent complications.
- The TOIM department aims to be a top ranked department in the NE region and prepare students to be digital innovators.
- The agenda discusses updating the advisory board, research impact, hiring, and accounting information systems.
- Research topics discussed include the talent gap in IT, small businesses/digital technologies, data monetization, and retention of IT staff. Potential research partners are also listed.
- Teaching feedback focuses on teaching concepts with tools, making students work ready, and using the Boston ecosystem in courses through field trips and guest speakers.
- The conclusions summarize progress in the past year and outline goals for more collaboration, research, connections to the ecosystem, and preparation for upcoming reviews.

The document summarizes Microsoft's efforts in collaborating with various organizations to promote innovation in scholarly communication. It discusses projects such as VIVO for connecting researchers, ORCID for unique researcher IDs, DataVerse for data sharing, DataCite for data citation, Total Impact for measuring research impact, DuraCloud for data storage and preservation, and Microsoft Academic Search for discovery. The goal is to help solve problems across the scholarly communication lifecycle from data collection and authoring to publication, discovery and preservation.
Empathy Lab believes that intuitive and engaging interfaces are designed with an in-depth understanding of your end-users' needs, behaviors, and motivations. Here is an overview of our behavioral research philosophy and methodology.
This document describes a research project that aimed to analyze communication and collaboration patterns within SCAD's School of Design. A team of students from SCAD and the University of Cologne planned to use social network analysis and visualization tools like Condor to analyze data from SCAD. However, the SCAD IT department did not provide data due to privacy issues. As an alternative, the team analyzed articles mentioning communications between SCAD departments to identify collaboration trends over time. The analysis found increasing collaboration between departments from 2005 to 2009 based on the press coverage. The team also discussed lessons learned around clearly defining goals, management support, expertise, and communication within the group.
The document discusses using paper prototyping to design mobile applications for college libraries. It describes how the organization supports over 80 college libraries and aims to redesign their mobile interfaces to better align with how students conduct research. They conducted focus groups and user testing with students to inform the redesign. Paper prototyping benefits include fast interface design, low cost, and early user feedback. Next steps include further user testing and refining interfaces before development and approval.

This document discusses building a "discovery cloud" to accelerate scientific discovery through on-demand computing. It proposes identifying time-consuming research activities that can be automated and outsourced as software-as-a-service. This would achieve economies of scale through leveraging infrastructure-as-a-service. The goal is to create a great user experience for scientific data management similar to consumer services like Dropbox. It also discusses integrating services like Globus for data management and Galaxy for analysis to provide flexible and scalable genomics analysis.
A Service Oriented Architecture For Order Processing In The I B M Supp...Kirill Osipov
The document discusses the migration of an existing order processing system at IBM to a service-oriented architecture (SOA) using WebSphere products. Key points include transforming the legacy mainframe application into services, workflows, and processes modeled in WebSphere Business Modeler and executed in WebSphere Process Server. The new SOA implementation provided benefits like reduced costs, improved throughput, adaptability, and real-time processing. The deployment architecture utilized WebSphere Integration Server clustering and WebSphere MQ clustering to balance workload and improve scalability.
