Abstract

This article presents an announcement for the formation of Special Interest Group (SIG) on multimedia. The SIC Board recently gave preliminary approval for the formation of a new SIC on multimedia. This coincided with the very positive response to Multimedia 1993, the first Association for Computing Machinery International Conference on Multimedia held at Anaheim, California. More than 200 papers have been submitted to Multimedia 1993. The conference, which will be co-located with SIGGRAPH 1993, was an exciting event with top-quality papers, a series of helpful courses, and three special workshops on distributed, medical and sound processing applications. Complimentary membership in the SIC on multimedia was being offered to all those who attend the 1993 Multimedia Conference.

Abstract

Question: How can a library-based bioinformatics support program be implemented and expanded to continuously support the growing and changing needs of the research community? Setting: A program at a health sciences library serving a large academic medical center with a strong research focus is described. Methods: The bioinformatics service program was established at the Norris Medical Library in 2005. As part of program development, the library assessed users' bioinformatics needs, acquired additional funds, established and expanded service offerings, and explored additional roles in promoting on- campus collaboration. Results: Personnel and software have increased along with the number of registered software users and use of the provided services. Conclusion: With strategic efforts and persistent advocacy within the broader university environment, library-based bioinformatics service programs can become a key part of an institution's comprehensive solution to researchers' ever-increasing bioinformatics needs.

5. GUEST EDITORIAL: INTORDUCTION TO THE SPECIAL SECTION.

Subjects
*SOFTWARE engineering, *CONFERENCES & conventions, *COMPUTERS, *ELECTRONIC systems
Abstract

The Symposium on Foundations in Software Engineering is an annual conference sponsored by Association for Computing Machinery, a computer portal and dedicated to the presentation of innovative research results contributing to an engineering discipline for software systems. This special section of the July 1998 issue of the journal IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering features three of the best papers from the fourth symposium, held in October 1996 in San Francisco, California. During its first half-decade, research results presented at this conference have covered engineering research topics. However, a number of distinguishing properties tend to characterize the best of the papers and have helped set the standards for high-quality software engineering research. The three papers in this special section illustrate these properties. One of the critical challenges for software engineering research is to find practical tools that help system builder restructure existing systems. Mark Moriconi was general chair for the symposium and deserves considerable credit for its success.

6. A Silicon Valley School That Doesn't Compute.

Richtel, Matt

Subjects
*COMPUTERS
Abstract

LOS ALTOS, Calif. -- The chief technology officer of eBay sends his children to a nine-classroom school here. So do employees of Silicon Valley giants like Google, Apple, Yahoo and Hewlett-Packard. But the school's chief teaching tools are anything but high-tech: pens and paper, knitting needles and, occasionally, mud. Not a computer to be found. No screens at all. They are not allowed in the classroom, and the school even frowns on their use at home. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
