Tim Berners-Lee confirmed as plenary speaker
Tim Berners-Lee is the Director of the World Wide Web Consortium, a Senior Researcher at MIT where he leads the Decentralized Information Group, and a Professor of Computer Science at University of Southampton. While working at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory, he invented the World Wide Web. It was there where he wrote the first Web client (a combination of browser and editor) and the first Web server. His original specifications of URLs, HTTP and HTML were widely adopted and refined as Web technology spread. In 2001 he became a fellow of the Royal Society, and more recently he received the 2007 Charles Stark Draper Prize, given by the National Academy of Engineering (US). His plenary talk will take place on Wednesday May 9 at WWW2007.

As 2006 began, there were less than thirty known museum blogs; since then, that number has more than doubled. Today there are well over 100 blogs exploring museum issues, from a range of institutions and individuals across the globe. All of these blogs ha
This workshop is about how to design learning problems. The dominant system for applying machine learning in practice involves a human labeling data. This approach is limited to situations where human experts exist, can be afforded, and are fast enough to solve the relevant problem.
The digital footprint of Gian-Carlo Rota
16-18 February 2009 - Milan, Italy
The conference is a tribute to the memory of Gian-Carlo Rota, one of the most influential mathematicians of the second half of the 20th century, a founder of modern Combinatorics, and a developer of the philosophical line of thought rooted in the research of Husserl, Heidegger, and Ortega y Gasset.
Gian-Carlo Rota's intellectual footprint lies at the crossroads between modern mathematics, phenomenology, and advanced computer science. His legacy is still fostering innovative research in multiple fields.
Gian-Carlo Rota's activity both in the US and in Europe (with a special attention to Italy) established a strong link between research communities on different sides of the Atlantic whose effects are still felt to these days.
