Christopher L. Barrett, Executive Director, Virginia Bioinformatics Institute/Professor of Computer Science, Virginia Tech. Dr. Barrett’s talk entitled “Massively Interactive Systems: Thinking and Deciding in the Age of Big Data"
Abstract: This talk discusses advanced computationally assisted reasoning about large interaction-dominated systems. Current questions in science, from the biochemical foundations of life to the scale of the world economy, involve details of huge numbers and levels of intricate interactions. Subtle indirect causal connections and vastly extended definitions of system boundaries dominate the immediate future of scientific research. Beyond sheer numbers of details and interactions, the systems are variously layered and structured in ways perhaps best described as networks. Interactions include, and often co-create, these morphological and dynamical features, which can interact in their own right. Such “massively interacting” systems are characterized by, among other things, large amounts of data and branching behaviors. Although the amount of associated data is large, the systems do not even begin to explore their entire phase spaces. Their study is characterized by advanced computational methods. Major methodological revisions seem to be indicated.
Heretofore unavailable and rapidly growing basic source data and increasingly powerful computing resources drive complex system science toward unprecedented detail and scale. There is no obvious reason for this direction in science to change. The cost of acquiring data has historically dominated scientific costs and shaped the research environment in terms of approaches and even questions. In the several years, as the costs of social data, biological data and physical data have plummeted on a per-unit basis and as the volume of data is growing exponentially, the cost drivers for scientific research have clearly shifted from data generation to storage and analytical computation-based methods. The research environment is rapidly being reshaped by this change and, in particular, the social and bio–sciences are revolutionized by it. Moreover, the study of socially– and biologically–coupled systems (e.g., societal infrastructures and infectious disease public health policy analysis) is in flux as computation-based methods begin to greatly expand the scope of traditional problems in revolutionary ways.
How does this situation serve to guide the development of “information portal technology” for complex system science and for decision support? An example of an approach to detailed computational analysis of social and behavioral interaction with physical and infrastructure effects in the immediate aftermath of a devastating disaster will be described in this context.
one tiny cannon in the bow...this was a stealthy Ram meant to rip over the hull of any sailing ship..... posed a problem for the Union Navy but still not strong enough to halt the fleet..... the rifled cannons massed against the masonary forts chewed up the defenses of New Orleans and then wrecked the stationary CSS ironclad and its tiny consorts of cotton clads....

Chicago South Shore & South Bend Railroad Pullman built coach 6 at Michigan City, Indiana on an unknown day in April 1975, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 6 was built in 1926 by Pullman Car and Manufacturing Company as part of the first ten car order placed by the newly formed Chicago South Shore & South Bend Railroad, which took over control of the bankrupt Chicago Lake Shore & South Bend Railroad in 1926. Also seen (left to right) are trailer 204. 201, motor 6, and 704, the former NYC class R-2 343, rebuilt by the CSS&SB in 1956. The occasion was a CERA sponsored fan trip.

I'm holding a two-day lecture at Arts academy University of Split about Web standards, CSS and WordPress. This is the design I'll be live chopping on the CSS workshop.
Original flag that flew on the Civil War ironclad, CSS Arkansas. It's displayed at the National Civil War Naval Museum in Columbus GA.
You can find the CSS Acadia docked on the Halifax Waterfront. Her 98th birthday is today, July 8, 2011. Happy Birthday!

I wrote python script that merges the randomly generated images into single image which should take much smaller spaces.
It's very handy to generate CSS sprites image.

CSS - wacky dance band from Brazil, with even crazier lead singer. My favorite thing about her was her drawn on glasses. They totally rocked. Even Miss Paris Hilton was there dancing to the song about her. Also on the side of the stage were Peaches and JD Samson of Le Tigre. Sunday at Coachella 2007
