Schmidt Guest Editor Le Mans University, France It would seem that after some 20 years of distance activities, we are starting to have enough vision on the topic to establish an epistemology for it (i.e. prospective and historical). Over and beyond our main question of how to put to work the results of the sciences involved to date, the advent of the Internet and virtual community activities brings about philosophical questions. One might be: Whom do we wish to become as a human community via the relatively recently established fields of interest listed below?

Dennis notices in the Tuesday, (Aug. 18, 1998) Wall Street Journal that Toys R Us net tumbled 63% largely due to a lack of new hits. It occurs to him that they may be a prime candidate for knowledge management consulting aimed at increasing innovation. He wonders what the current relationship, if any, is between IBM and Toys R Us. After wandering around www.toysrus.com and www.ibm.com for about 40 minutes, he doesn't find anything really relevant. He tries to recall if he knows anyone who ever worked at Toys R Us but draws a blank. He considers checking a consulting data bank, but isn't sure where to look. It isn't so much a particular competency that he's interested in as in getting a sense of what Toys R Us is really like; how to approach them; what works and what doesn't work with this particular company or with Toy companies in general. Dennis then recalls that he is supposed to be summarizing his last engagement with 3M. He grimaces, realizing that he has only been 30% utilized this month, but begins the onerous task of entering information into various fields. After an hour, he looks back over his work and has the distinct feeling that somehow, he hasn't really captured what was really important about the engagement. He shrugs, wondering whether anyone else will ever really read this anyway.

Don't have time or energy to argue this...but I'll contend that the problem was not enough lateral thinking to build tools to bootstrap to higher levels of abstraction.

Haven't been around as long as you, but going on 25 years both in software and systems. I came of age when the large vertically integrated systems companies were still strong, or at least one of them was. Back then, I was one of the young upstarts who were building kit computers and getting our hands dirty on PC and other small systems. I remember Bill Joy's "Vendor Motel" pitch for Open Systems long before anyone spoke of Open source (except Stallman and that was Free Source). I am curious what you see to be the right level. Very High Level Languages are being tried all the time, but I don't think that is what you mean here. I see some hope in Internet coded approaches, i.e. XML, Semantic Web, ? Is this part of what you mean? I suspect that the low level stuff will always be there and it has a natural structure and flow. I'm sure it is not lost on you that eventually Open Systems tech has come back to cover most of the same systems areas that the large vertical firms did, it's just that all the interfaces are now industry standards rather than proprietary protocols. Then there is the Microsoft ghetto that seems to be swallowing everything.

EXPLORING COLLABORATORY PARTNERSHIPS FOR INTERDISCIPLINARY UNDERGRADUATE SCINECE EDUCATION REFORM by Norman Chonacky - The Evergreen State College, and James Myers - The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Introduction The goal of the CURE is to bring science resources from PNNL into undergraduate institutions to reduce the distance between science education and science practice. It has been under development for more than two years. An article in the spring edition of this Quarterly described both this project and its research-based antecedent at the PNNL's Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL). The present article will build on the earlier one by presenting some of the details and results from an exploration of the CURE concept conducted in an intensive, three-day workshop at PNNL last October. The EMSL is a Department of Energy facility in Richland Washington at the site of the Hanford reservation where the DOE produced plutonium for fifty years. EMSL's mission is to accomplish basic research that will facilitate the decontamination and clean-up of this site. The EMSL is richly endowed with supercomputing facilities, advanced instrumentation compatible with its mission, and some of the best scientific research minds in the country. Its research mission is accomplished by a number of programs and labs. These programs focus on developing a molecular-level understanding of physical, chemical, and biological processes that underlie environmental remediation, waste processing and storage, and human health effects. Its approaches to its research are interdisciplinary, including fundamental molecular science, measurement science, its macromolecular structure and dynamics program, and its theory, modeling, and simulation program. Among the EMSL's facilities are its cluster dynamics lab, surface kinetics lab, nanometer surface mapping and spectroscopy lab, a gigahertz NMR, and its molecular science computing facility. It is well beyond the scope of this article to describe EMSL research or resources in any detail. However, to supply context for our analysis, Table 1 briefly illustrates EMSL research.

Table of contents Next section Previous section CELS home page Issues-Based Framework for Bio 101 from the report of the National Life Science Education Conference II, Coalition for Education in the Life Sciences, February 21-23, 1992 Introduction Inherent in the recommendations urged in this report is the overall belief that science, especially the life sciences, must be part of a core of knowledge for all Americans if they are to participate fully in our society. There is much about the natural work that we do not know, yet much that we need to know. We live in a complex world, besieged by complex problems. Our ability to understand, and appropriately respond to the issues of the day, relies on the supposition that we, as a people, are educated regarding these issues. All too often that is not the case. The situation is urgent, and growing worse with each passing day. Participants at the second meeting of the Coalition for Education in the Life Sciences (CELS II) devised the following Guiding Principles as a way to correct the current state of affairs, and move us toward the educated state necessary to our survival as a world and as a people.

HigherEd Distributed Research Teams: Meeting Asynchronously in Virtual Space Lia Adams , Lori Toomey, and Elizabeth Churchill FX Palo Alto Laboratory, Inc. Table of Contents Abstract Introduction Research Meetings Requirements and Related Work ... About the Authors Abstract As computer networks improve, more social and work interactions are carried out "virtually" by geographically separated group members. In this paper we discuss the design of a tool, PAVE, to support remote work interactions among colleagues in different time zones. PAVE extends a 2D graphical MOO and supports synchronous and asynchronous interactions. PAVE logs and indexes activities in the space. This capture facility enables playback and augmentation of meeting interactions by non-collocated group members. Thus, members can participate asynchronously in meetings they could not attend in real time, not just review them. Introduction In recent years, improvements in computer hardware, software and network infrastructures have increased digitally based interactions between geographically separated individuals. Interactions between members of these virtual communities include socializing, game playing, information sharing, sales and advertising, leisure pursuits, and collaborative work. These on-going developments have created new working group possibilities and the emergence of digitally based "virtual communities" [12, 13]. In this paper we consider the design of tools that support such distributed work interactions. More specifically we discuss the design of PAVE, a tool developed at FX Palo Alto Laboratory to support research meetings between non-collocated research team members. Our research focus has been to support both synchronous and asynchronous activities, enabling spatially and temporally separated collaborators to work together on projects. In the next sections we describe the working group activities we aim to support, and we review existing tools for distant collaboration. Then we describe the design of PAVE and illustrate its use with a detailed description of a meeting scenario.

The Honor System A Booklet for Faculty February 1995 Revision The Board of Control c/o Dean of Students 102-31 California Institute of Technology Pasadena, California 91125 HTML version by Chris Bryant Table of Contents Philosophy of the Honor System The Honor System and Undergraduates Tests Homework and Laboratory Assignments ... The Board of Control Bylaws Philosophy of the Honor System Every community, either through accident or conscious design, adopts certain levels of accepted conduct. With unfortunate frequency, the standards adopted officially and unofficially by academic communities are founded on a "lowest common denominator" of human behavior. It is considered a fact of life at many colleges that intensive proctoring, special examination booklets, and energetic suspicion on the part of the faculty are required to achieve some semblance of honesty in the majority of students. The Caltech community has had the privilege of disregarding these pessimistic traditions. The name given to the official and practiced ethical code of our community is the "Honor System." The Honor System embodies our mutual trust and respect. The Honor System makes Caltech a better and more enjoyable place to work and live because it affords to each person within the Caltech community the trust and freedom that honesty merits. As such, only one guideline is necessary to protect our community: "No one shall take unfair advantage of any other member of the Caltech community." Because of its nature, it must apply to all of the community, everywhere within the community. It is not restricted to transactions of a purely academic nature between students and faculty, but also binds students in their non-academic relations with any other member of the community.

Peshkin Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) 2000, Takamatsu Japan, Nov 2000 Abstract: Repetitive manual materials handling of heavy loads is common in assembly and is a common cause of low back disorders. The manual manipulation of a heavy load may be made more comfortable by constraining the load to move along a guide. The frictionless guide directs the motion of the load to the goal con guration as the human operator provides forces in directions that are comfortable. In this paper we present our rst experimental results in guided manipulation with the purpose of understanding motions and forces that are comfortable for human operators. Link to article
