New Paradigms in Using Computers 2004
August 4, 2004 - What can I do with WAY too much
information??
|
|
| New Paradigms for Using Computers (NPUC) is a
non-confidential, invitation-only workshop and networking forum for the
community. In this one-day event, NPUC bridges academic and industrial
HCI/CHI/UI/UE centers of work by focusing on a common theme. We invite
several leading experts in the area of human interaction technology to
come and tell us what they know, and have plenty of chance to discuss
what's going on. It's a chance to hear the latest, best work in our
field, and a premier opportunity to network within the human-centered
computing field.
Workshop Description:
For NPUC 2004 we ask the question:
"What can I do with WAY too much
information??"
It's obvious to point out that we're inundated in information. Every
news source keeps telling us that’s there’s too much information, too
often, and too lightweight.
Yet at the same time, people really do have access to qualitatively new
information sources, with new spins on old data and we can touch a
wealth of information that just wasn't widely available a few short
years ago.
In this year's edition of NPUC, we focus NOT just on digging deeper
into classical data mining, but how the riches of the unstructured (and
semi-structured) information ocean changes our daily lives, our work
and our perceptions of the world around us.
Our speakers will tell us about what information they use, what
interesting new and possibly non-traditional sources they draw upon,
how they analyze it, and what they've learned from their studies.
Each of them has an interesting, detailed and pragmatic story to
tell about how WAAAY too much information can lead to insight.
