Hewlett Packard, Pruneridge and Wolfe, Cupertino, Bldg. 48, Oak Room
http://sfbayacm.org/
"Information for People"
Laura Haas
IBM Almaden Research Center
Ordinary people have access to unprecedented volumes of information
today. Researchers in the fields of information management (IM) and
human-computer interaction (HCI) are reacting to this challenge from
their own unique perspectives. Having access to a billion records is
cool, but having access to a billion people is awesome. In this talk,
we look at recent research from both communities, and speculate on how
interactions between the communities could enhance the user experience
of information.
About the Speaker: Laura Haas is an IBM Distinguished Engineer and
Director of Computer Science at Almaden Research Center. Most
recently, she was responsible for Information Integration Solutions
(IIS) architecture in IBM's Software Group, after leading the IIS
development team through its first two years. Dr. Haas joined the
development team in 2001 as manager of DB2 UDB Query Compiler
development. Previously, Dr. Haas was a research staff member and
manager at IBM's Almaden Research Center for nearly twenty years. In
Research, she worked on and managed a number of exploratory projects
in distributed database systems. She is best known for her work on the
Starburst query processor (from which DB2 UDB was developed), on
Garlic, a system which allowed federation of heterogeneous data
sources, and on Clio, the first semi-automatic tool for heterogeneous
schema mapping. Garlic technology married with DB2 UDB query
processing is the basis for WebSphere Information Integrator's
federation capabilities, while Clio capabilities are a core
differentiator for the new Rational Data Architect. Dr. Haas is an
active member of the database community, serving as vice chair of ACM
SIGMOD from 1989-1997, and, currently, as Vice President of the VLDB
Board of Trustees, as well as on many program committees for technical
conferences. She has received several IBM awards for Outstanding
Technical Achievement, and an IBM Corporate Award for her work on
federated database technology. She is a member of the IBM Academy of
Technology, an ACM Fellow, and a member of the Board of Computing
Research Associates.

"Residual Categories: Silence, Absence and Being an Other"
Susan Leigh Star
Santa Clara University
Residual categories (for example, none of the above; not elsewhere
categorized; not otherwise specified [NOS]; other) are ubiquitous in
all working classification systems. Where and how they appear, and are
used, changes historically and politically. Their presence also
reflects the nature of technical descriptions of nature: something
always escapes formal description. This has been noted by thinkers
including Gödel, Wittgenstein, Gregory Bateson, and John Dewey. Design
and technical concerns about how residual categories should be used in
classification systems have had two main axes statistical (especially
distributional, how not to lump all the other categories in one place)
and incidental (that is, the instance when an especially dangerous
item, person, or event even one should be closely examined). This talk
adds a third axis: the point of view of an individual or group classed
as other, and the idea of a lived residual category. This talk will
examine the analytic power of coming these three axes, and especially
what it might mean for quality of life.
About the Speaker: Susan Leigh Star is currently Professor of Science,
Technology and Society at Santa Clara University. She has been a
faculty member at the University of California, San Diego; University
of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and guest faculty at several European
universities. She is co-editor, with Martha Lampland, of a forthcoming
book, Standards and their Stories (Cornell, Fall 2008) and author,
with Geoffrey Bowker, of Sorting Things Out: Classification and Its
Consequences. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2000. She is known for the
development of the concept of boundary objects. She received her PhD
in sociology of science from the University of California, San
Francisco, California. She is immediate past president of the Society
for the Social Study of Science (4S), and co-editor of Science,
Technology and Human Values.

"The Semantic Web and Wikis"
Thomas Tunsch
National Museums in Berlin
Museums as well as other communities related to cultural heritage have
developed many standards with different scopes and levels of
implementation. The CIDOC CRM is the international standard (ISO
21127:2006) for the controlled exchange of cultural heritage
information. Although covering the universe of cultural heritage
concepts and providing the formal ontology for archives, libraries and
museums, implementations and utilizations of this model are still
considered rare.
While the CIDOC CRM is the result of the efforts of the specialized
CIDOC working group, it seems to be difficult for other members of the
professional community of museum specialists to share the highly
abstract essence of a conceptual reference model. The same is true for
other complex and diversified standards. Wikis with semantic
functionality (Semantic MediaWiki) are able to deal with both the
complex and the abstract features of an ontology as well as multiple
pieces of data and information. Therefore the combination of the model
and a wiki can provide new qualities of accessibility and connectivity
for cultural heritage standards.

"Tonal and Non-Tonal Intonation in Shekgalagari"
Larry Hyman
UC Berkeley
The study of intonation in a (fully) tone language presents both a
challenge and an opportunity. The challenge is to see how a language
which exploits F0 mainly for the purpose of lexical and grammatical
contrasts succeeds in encoding the functions often expressed by means
of intonation in non-tonal languages. As is well-known, word-level
distinctions can be quite rich in tone systems, which contrast up to
five pitch levels and a dozen or more tonal contours or clusters,
e.g. Wobe (Kru; Liberia) (Bearth & Link 1980, Singler 1984).
Word-level tones, in turn, can be subject to considerable manipulation
by the postlexical phonology, where juxtaposition, syntactic
conditioning, or phonological phrasing can modify the word-level
inputs and introduce additional pitch features, e.g. the phrase-final
H% boundary tone of Kinande (Bantu; DRC) (Hyman 1990). Particularly
when tone systems are complex in these ways, the question is how there
can be much room left for intonation to modify or add pitch
specifications without obscuring the word-level tonal contrasts. On
the one hand, there are specific strategies that different tone
languages employ to keep tones and "intonemes" separate. For example,
in Mazahua (Otomian; Mexico), there are no lexical tonal contrasts on
the last syllable of a word. As Pike (1951:101) puts it, "The pitches
of all syllables which do not immediately precede word space are those
of the tonemic system. The pitch of any syllable immediately preceding
word space is part of the intonemic system." On the other hand, there
are languages where intonation clearly overrides lexical tones. In
Coreguaje (Tukanoan; Colombia), for instance, CVCV nouns contrast H-H,
H-L, L-H, and L-L tones. However, when such nouns occur in isolation,
their tones merge as L-HL with statement intonation and H-L with
question intonation (Gralow 1985). If these two strategies can be
termed "accommodation" vs. "submission", a third option is
"avoidance": In many languages with highly developed tones systems
there doesn't seem to be "structured" as opposed to what Ladd (1996)
terms "paralinguistic" intonation, e.g. the raising or lowering of
pitch associated with excitement, fear, etc. Can a language do
without such structured intonation, and if so, what does it put in its
place? The strongest limiting cases are probably languages with highly
developed tone systems. This constitutes the opportunity side of the
above-mentioned challenge: Since they have more reason to resist, tone
languages offer a particularly appropriate forum for investigating the
essential properties of intonation, e.g. the universal tendency to
phonologize Gussenhoven's (2005) "three biological codes".
In this paper we take a close look at the intonational properties of
Shekgalagari, a Bantu language of the Sotho-Tswana (S.30) subgroup
spoken in Botswana. We begin by presenting the tone system, which has
two underlying tones /H, Ø/ and a derived phonemic downstep (!H). We
then turn to the relatively rich intonation system. We start with what
we term "declarative" penultimate length + L tone (PLL): the vowel of
a prepause-penultimate syllable is lengthened and a marked L is
assigned to its second mora. We then go through the different contexts
where PLL typically fails to occur: (1) yes-no and WH-questions; (2)
imperatives and hortatives (e.g. `may he enter!'); (3) vocatives and
exclamatives (e.g. `what a fool!'); (4) paused lists (e.g. `I ate
corn... rice... and beans'); (5) ideophones (e.g. `it went splash!').
While other Southern Bantu languages have also been noted to "suspend"
penultimate lengthening in questions, Shekgalagari is unusual in
having so many other contexts where the vowel remains short. Recall
that the declarative not only lengthens the penultimate vowel, but
also assigns a L tone. It is therefore striking that all five of the
above are speech act types where speakers might be expected to raise
their voice, and hence resist the L tone. We claim therefore that
non-declarative = unmarked in Shekgalagari: penultimate lengthening (+
L) is not suspended, but rather is not assigned in questions,
imperatives, vocatives etc. (Shekgalagari also differs from related
languages in not assigning PLL when the prepause word is
monosyllabic.)
After illustrating the above speech act types, we discuss their
interactions. For example, words which occur in paused lists may
optionally lengthen their final vowel in the declarative, but not in
questions or imperatives. Also, polysyllabic ideophones obligatorily
devoice their final vowel, but not in hortatives (`may it go splash!')
and questions (`did it go splash?'). We then discuss two types of
intonational overlap. The first, termed "emphasis", allows PLL to be
assigned in all of the above contexts except (1), with varying
results, e.g. making a WH-question or imperative seem more like a
statement, repeating the question or command in exasperation, or other
"emphasis". Although receiving PLL, the intention of these utterances
remains clear, since the speech act is still decipherable from the
various redundancies, e.g. a WH word, the lack of a subject in an
imperative, PLL on the final word of the paused list, etc. However, if
PLL is assigned to a yes-no question, there is no such redundancy, and
the result is a statement. In addition, an intonation which we call
"urgency" takes the declarative form with PLL and raises the whole
register, exaggerating the pitch intervals (e.g. `Fire!',
`Thief!'). We interpret this as a case of Ladd's paralinguistic
intonation.
After demonstrating that Shekgalagari has a rich and interesting
intonational system, we draw two conclusions. The first is that the
so-called avoidance strategy needs to be refined: A tone language may
resist a tonal implementation of intonation, which poses potential
complications, but there are other intonational features that do not
necessarily have to be avoided: lengthening, devoicing,
glottalization, breathiness, and even nasalization. Perhaps we have
been too tonocentric? On the other hand, Shekgalagari confirms the
strategy of accommodation: While many Eastern and Southern Bantu
languages have penultimate lengthening, it has long been recognized
that such lengthening exists only in languages which have lost the
historical lexical vowel-length contrast. (Languages which have
preserved the contrast would, in turn, tend to avoid penultimate
lengthening, which could merge long and short vowels.) Although the
effect of the L of PLL is rather noticeable (short H-H alternates with
long HL:-L), here too there is no loss of contrast, and similarly for
the other intonations. We end with some speculations on the
limitations on what features can be used for intonation and on how
lexical contrasts accommodate, submit to, or avoid intonational
competition.

"Communicating Cultural Heritage: The Role of New Media"
Francesco Antinucci
Large museums try to make extensive use of new media to communicate
with their public, but with only limited success. Apart from providing
practical information about hours, locations, and shows, museum
websites chiefly serve the needs of experts, and do little to prepare
ordinary museum-goers for their visits. In this talk, I will report on
research done in collaboration with the Roman Forum, the Galleria
Borghese, and the Palazzo Barbarini in Rome and the archaeological
site of Pompei, and in particular on a study of visitors to the
Vatican Museums.
About the Speaker: Francesco Antinucci is Director of Research at the
Institute of Cognitive Science and Technology of the National Research
Council (CNR) of Italy. His research interests have been centered on
perception, reasoning, and learning: their development in infancy and
their evolution in phylogeny and primate psychology. In recent years
his research has centered on the interaction between cognitive
processes and the new interactive technologies of multimedia, digital
networking, and virtual reality, and particularly in the use of
technology to communicate cultural heritage in museums and
archaeological sites.

"Towards a Global Public Computer"
Jonathan Appavoo
IBM Research, T.J. Watson Research Center, New York
http://www.research.ibm.com/kittyhawk
In this talk we describe our work, at IBM Research on Project
Kittyhawk, exploring the viability of a Global Public Computer. We
begin with a brief discussion of what we mean by a global public
computer and global computation. We define our notion of a Global
Computer as a well specified public, "software-less", massively
parallel system, on which users can construct services, of arbitrary
scale within resource limits, out of metered and billed common units
of its capacity grouped in domains of communication they specify and
control. The basic approach taken in project Kittyhawk is the
combining of global computation with a massively parallel processor.
The core of the talk presents our prototype system built on IBM's Blue
Gene/P hardware platform. We describe the hardware and how we utilize
it to permit principals to construct both private and shared
computational environments from hardware-based common units of
capacity in the form of Blue Gene/P nodes. These nodes are composed
of cores, memory, and communication resources. To construct the
environments we prototype support for control channels and a primitive
we call a communication domain that establishes which nodes can
communicate with each other. We describe some examples that utilize
open-source software to construct internet-inspired global computation
scenarios out of the raw hardware nodes and network topologies
realized on communication domains.
After presenting the prototype we briefly discuss why, in contrast to
trends in cloud computing, we have chosen to focus on hardware
capacity rather than virtualization, and conclude by raising the
question of how we want our digital future to evolve given the
warnings and advice of pioneers such as John McCarthy and others.
About the Speaker: Jonathan is a Research Scientist at IBM's
T.J. Watson Research Center in New York. Jonathan received his Ph.D in
Computer Science from the University of Toronto in 2005. His work
focused on scalable systems software for large-scale, general purpose
multi-processors. Specifically, he worked on an object model for
systems software construction which permits and encourages fine grain
control of sharing and attendant communication costs. He first pursued
this work in the University of Toronto, Tornado operating system and
then in the IBM K42 operating system. Jonathan's current research
interest is in exploring structure in the complete execution of a
modern computer including the stochastic interactions with the
software, data and exogenous events. He is interested in how the
structure can be defined, quantified and exploited. In 2007, along
with his colleagues Volkmar Uhlig and Amos Waterland, he established
Project Kittyhawk to explore conjectures about Global Scale computers
and computation.

MEDIA X WORKSHOP

Stanford
http://mediax.stanford.edu/WSI/wpnt.html
"Workgroup Protocols for Networked Teams"
led by Stanley Rosenschein
This one-day workshop looks at the use of workgroup protocols for
organizing collaborative work. It will be of interest to academic and
industrial researchers, and to managers with an interest in process
improvement.
The spread of digital networks has given knowledge workers powerful
new tools for communicating with teammates and accessing data
sources. In principle these tools should lead to dramatic improvements
in performance. In practice, however, real gains are limited by the
practical difficulty of organizing complex work and coordinating with
teammates. Having more ways to communicate and share data is not in
itself a solution to this problem. Indeed, digital tools can even add
to the problem by producing information overload, work fragmentation,
and difficulty balancing priorities. This paradox suggests the need
for better conceptual models of dynamic collaboration directly
addressing the question of how the work itself is organized.
The idea behind workgroup protocols is to structure at least part of
the workday around a set of formal rules of interaction that, by
design, guarantee synchronization of task planning, execution, and
information sharing. The protocols serve as a kind of workgroup
operating system, allowing for efficient allocation of cognitive
resources by team members while not limiting their ability to define
the content of their work dynamically.
This one-day workshop will explore the idea of workgroup protocols at
the theoretical and practical levels. Sessions will address the
following questions:
1. What execution model for human knowledge work could serve as the
basis for workgroup protocols?
2. How can the definition of tasks and communication paths be both
dynamic and managed? What can we learn from the design of computer
systems?
3. What languages and computer-based tools might support workgroup
protocols in the future?
4. How practical would formal protocols be for real human beings?
What cognitive and social factors would be critical in the design
of workgroup protocols? What research still needs to be done?
5. How might workgroup protocols advance the state of the art in
massively-parallel collaboration (cf., Wikipedia)?
The workshop will survey previous and current efforts and will include
hands-on, audience-participation exercises in group problem solving,
illustrating the potential of a high-performance cognitive
multiprocessing.

"Episodic memory encoding and retrieval:
a cognitive neuroscience perspective"
Mick Rugg
Center for the Neurobiology or Learning and Memory, UC Irvine
Encoding and retrieval are often treated as if they are independent
memory functions. Evidence from experimental psychology, however,
suggests that they are interdependent. This evidence fits well with
current ideas about the neurobiological basis of episodic memory, and
the two frameworks come together to make predictions about the
relationship between encoding- and retrieval-related neural activity
that can be tested in humans using functional neuroimaging. The talk
will describe recent studies motivated by these predictions, and will
argue that encoding and retrieval are interdependent at both the
psychological and the neural level.
