Members of the Cornell IT community and everyone with an interest in technology have several events to choose from next week.?For more information, details, or to check for schedule changes, please visit the web pages for the events or contact the group that is hosting.
Online Verbal and Nonverbal Cues and Their Effects on Impression Formation and Relational Communication
Brandon Van der Heide, Ohio State University
Monday, March 26, 2012
1:30-2:45pm
213 Kennedy Hall
In this?colloquium hosted by the Department of Communicaiton in CALS, Brandon?Van Der Heide will discuss how the introduction of nonverbal cues such as photographs and avatars affect impression formation and relational communication processes online. He will also discuss related issues, such as how the juxtaposition of verbal and nonverbal cues affects impression formation, as well as the effects virtual embodiment has on the ways that people communicate.
Mobile Computing: A Computer Architect?s View
Margaret Martonosi, Princeton University
Monday, March 26, 2012
4:30-6pm
233 Phillips Hall
http://www.ece.cornell.edu/nec-colloquium-detail.cfm?id=220
The School of Electrical and Computer Engineering is also holding a colloquium Monday, featuring Margaret Martonosi of Princeton University. In the late 1990s, Martonosi?s computer architecture research on energy-efficient computer systems led her to study mobile computing because of the severe energy challenges virtually all mobile devices face. Since then, her research group has maintained and broadened work in mobile computing to include other applications and systems design issues, such as using opportunistic and low-infrastructure forms of networking for wildlife tracking, mobile sensing, collaborative traffic applications, and very low-cost rural networks.
Scientific Collecting in the Digital Age
Ben Clock, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Macaulay Library
Monday, March 26, 2012
7:30-9pm
Cornell Lab of Ornithology, 159 Sapsucker Woods Road
http://events.cornell.edu/event/scientific_collecting_in_the_digital_age
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology presents Macaulay Library Assistant Curator Ben Clock, who?will trace the history of the archive from the earliest ground-breaking recording expeditions to today?s efforts to document birds of the world with high resolution video and audio recordings.
Red Cloud Lunch ?n? Learn Seminar
Cornell Center for Advanced Computing Staff
Wednesday, March 28, 2012
655 Rhodes Hall
12:15-1:30 pm
http://itnews.cornell.edu/?p=697
Cornell recently launched a new cloud computing service called Red Cloud that is optimally configured to meet the needs of researchers and educators. Red Cloud provides substantial memory/core, fast networks, no charges for data movement in and out of the cloud, and dedicated rather than oversubscribed cores. Staff from the Cornell Center for Advanced Computing will show users and prospective users how to get their work done with Red Cloud, an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) that runs Eucalyptus, the open source, Amazon-compatible cloud computing platform.
Thinking and Talking About Computer Security
Rick Wash, Michigan State University
Wednesday, March 28, 2012
4-5:15pm
301 College Ave., Seminar Room
http://www.infosci.cornell.edu/about/colloquiumSP12/MARCH28.html
In this talk hosted by Information Science, Rick Wash will discuss how computer and information security is a major problem on the Internet today, with frequent reports of break-ins, stolen information, viruses, and identity theft. The security of most computers depends strongly on the ability for non-expert users to make good security decisions. In this talk, Wash will empirically examine where these decisions come from. He will describe a number of different ways (?folk models?) that non-experts use to think about computer security threats, and how these may lead to some successful security decisions and some security vulnerabilities. These ways of thinking spread among communities of non-experts through stories and storytelling. This suggests a way to improve security by shaping the stories that people tell and what stories that people hear; it also suggests links to domains other than security, and in particular healthcare.
