in Pharyngula [Evolution, development, and random biological ejaculations from a godless liberal] PZ Myers writes about a recent press release from Princeton:
“Unfortunately, the puff piece writer and the scientists involved seem incapable of actually explaining what they found, which makes me extremely suspicious.….Anyway, I’ll be looking for the paper. My bet would be that it says nothing like the claims made for it by the press release, or that it will be an embarrassing error of interpretation by the authors.:
The target of his disbelief was also discussed in a recent thread on friendfeed:

- Personal VSM – If one wishes to change the world, one must first change oneself. This was one of Heinz von Foerster’s profound teachings and one that has great applicability today as it seems that many aspects of our lives threaten to spiral out of control. Here in Ontario, which is one of the more tranquil areas on earth, we have had continuing security fall-out from the World Trade Center attack, the Walkerton water system’s e-coli contamination, SARS, a computer leasing scandal in city government and the electricity black-out in August. All appeared to be catastrophes or anomalies but, upon examination, all have been found to be events that we could have, and should have, been better prepared to meet. All the subsequent examinations exposed failures to see the whole picture and to respond with requisite variety when the first sign of trouble appeared.

STEAM (research group)
STEAM: Scalable Timed Events and Mobility (department of Computer Science, Trinity College Dublin)
“Middleware supporting even-based communication is widely recognized
as being well suited to mobile applications since it naturally
accomodates a dynamically changing population of interacting entities
and the dynamic reconfiguration of the connections between them.”
“With the increased research in mobile ad hoc networks new
application domains, for example mobile robotics and traffic management
have emerged.”

Siena: Scalable Internet Event Notification Architectures (Software Engineering Research Laboratory – University of Colorado)
“Siena is a research project aimed at designing and constructing a
generic scalable publish/subscribe event-notification service.”
“The technical basis of Siena is an innovatiove type of network service called content-based networking.”
“The asynchrony, heterogeneity, and inherent loose coupling that
characterize applications in a wide-area network promote event
interaction as a natural design abstraction for a growing class of
software systems. An emerging building block for such systems is an
infrastruvture called publish/subscribe event notification service.”

Stanford CEP Research
“Complex event processing (CEP) is a new technology. It can be
applied to extracting and analyzing information from any kind of
distributed message-based system.”
“It is developed from the Rapide concepts of
- causal event modeling
- event patterns and pattern matching, and
- event pattern maps and constraints.”
“Complex event processing can be applied to a wide variety of
Enterprise monitoring and management problems, from low level network
management to high level enterprise and intelligence gathering.”- goto

Rapide (research group)
The Stanford Rapide ™ Project
“The Rapide ™ Language effort focuses on developing a new technology for building large-scale, distributed multi-language systems. ”
“This technology is based upon a new generation of computer languages, called Executable Architecture Definition Languages (EADLs), and an innovative toolset supporting the use of EADLs in evolutionary development and rigorous analysis of large-scale systems.”
“Rapide ™ adopts a new event-based execution model of distributed, time-sensitive systems — the ‘timed poset model.’ Posets provide the most detailed formal basis to date for constructing early life cycle protyping tools, and later life cycle tools for correctness and perfomance analysis of distributed time-sensitive systems.”- goto

“omniNotify
is a multi-threaded implementation of the CORBA Notification Service
(CosNotification), a feature-enriched version of the CORBA Event
Service (CosEvents).”
“omniNotify offers asynchronous, decoupled, event-based communication between distributed and heterogeneous applications.”
“ominiNotify was developed by a group of researchers at AT&T
Labs in Florham Park, New Jersey. Our main design goal for omniNotify
was scalability: we wanted a service that scales well w.r.t. both
number of connected consumers and number (and complexity) of filters
registered by consumers. To achieve this goal, the implementation
exploits parallelism during filter evaluation and dispatching of events
to consumers.”- goto

Scribe (research group)
“Scribe
is a generic, scalable and efficient group communication and event
notification system. It provides application level multicast and
anycast.”
“Scribe is efficient, self-organizing, flexible, highly scalable and supports highly dynamic groups. It is built on top of 'Pastry,' a generic, scalable, self-organizing substrate for peer-to-peer applications.”

STS-125 Crew Visits the Stock Exchange
NASA astronauts Scott Altman and Mike Massimino of the STS-125 mission visit the New York Stock Exchange to support the release of Hubble 3D, the newest IMAX film, which documents the mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope and features never-before-seen 3D flights through Hubble imagery such as the Orion Nebula. In honor of the occasion, Altman and Massimino ring 'The Closing Bell' ending the day's trading at the Exchange on Thursday, March 18, 2010. Image Credit: NYSE (Used by permission)
