    Microsoft and Cray to Unveil $25,000 Windows-Based Supercomputer

    AAll About Microsoft: l lCodeTracker A monthly look at Microsoft’s codenames and what they Areveal about the direction of the company. b o u t M i c r o s o f t : All About Microsoft CodeTracker Keeping track of Microsoft's myriad codenames is an (almost) full-time occupation. I know, as I spend a lot of my work hours tracking down the latest names in the hopes of being able to better keep tabs on what's coming next from the Redmondians. Each month, I'll be releasing an updated, downloadable version of the CodeTracker. I'll add new codenames -- arranged in alphabetical order by codename -- of forthcoming Microsoft products and technologies. I also will note timing changes (date slips, the release of a new test build, the disappearance of a planned deliverable) for entries that are already part of the Tracker. Once Microsoft releases the final version of a product or technology I've been tracking, I will remove it from the Tracker. In that way, the CodeTracker will remain focused on futures. (An aside about the Tracker: A question mark in place of an entry means I have insufficient information to hazard even an educated guess about a particular category.) If you have suggested new entries or corrections to existing ones, please drop me an e-mail at mjf at microsofttracker dot com. Thanks! Mary Jo Foley, Editor, ZDNet's "All About Microsoft" blog This Month's Theme: Big iron needs love, too If you went by nothing but blog and publication headlines, you might think mobile phones and slates are where all the innovation is these days.
  • Discovery Attender User Guide

    Discovery Attender User Guide

    Welcome Sherpa Software's Discovery Attender is a software tool designed to automate the search and collection of electronically stored information across a variety of platforms. This dynamic solution sits behind the firewall and enables in-house talent to identify and gather responsive information in a timely, defensible manner. The Discovery Attender interface is designed to be intuitive and user friendly. The Welcome Screen (above) serves as the gateway to the product. From here you can directly open the PreSearch Tool or create a project. A project serves as a repository for a collection - related searches and associated result sets. Once a new pro- ject is created, the MAIN CONSOLE acts as the central hub to allow you to control the creation, processing, and organization of searches. From here, you can access a Search Wizard which guides you through the step-by- step process of creating a new search. The MAIN CONSOLE also provides access to the Result Management features to view, organize, export and report on the messages, attachments and files that are found during your custom searches. Where to Begin To effectively filter and produce data with Discovery Attender, you must first create a project . Once a project is created, follow the steps below to begin the process: Step Action Description 1 Create and Run A Search A setup wizard leads you through the process of selecting locations and criteria to include in your search. Once started, the chosen data stores are scanned to find items (called results) that match the selected criteria. Information and metadata from these results are stored in the search data- bases.

  • The Fourth Paradigm

    The Fourth Paradigm

    ABOUT THE FOURTH PARADIGM This book presents the first broad look at the rapidly emerging field of data- THE FOUR intensive science, with the goal of influencing the worldwide scientific and com- puting research communities and inspiring the next generation of scientists. Increasingly, scientific breakthroughs will be powered by advanced computing capabilities that help researchers manipulate and explore massive datasets. The speed at which any given scientific discipline advances will depend on how well its researchers collaborate with one another, and with technologists, in areas of eScience such as databases, workflow management, visualization, and cloud- computing technologies. This collection of essays expands on the vision of pio- T neering computer scientist Jim Gray for a new, fourth paradigm of discovery based H PARADIGM on data-intensive science and offers insights into how it can be fully realized. “The impact of Jim Gray’s thinking is continuing to get people to think in a new way about how data and software are redefining what it means to do science.” —Bill GaTES “I often tell people working in eScience that they aren’t in this field because they are visionaries or super-intelligent—it’s because they care about science The and they are alive now. It is about technology changing the world, and science taking advantage of it, to do more and do better.” —RhyS FRANCIS, AUSTRALIAN eRESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE COUNCIL F OURTH “One of the greatest challenges for 21st-century science is how we respond to this new era of data-intensive

    Extracting Insights from Differences: Analyzing Node-aligned Social Graphs by Srayan Datta A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Computer Science and Engineering) in The University of Michigan 2019 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Eytan Adar, Chair Associate Professor Mike Cafarella Assistant Professor Danai Koutra Associate Professor Clifford Lampe Srayan Datta [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0002-5800-830X c Srayan Datta 2019 To my family and friends ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There are several people who made this dissertation possible, first among this long list is my adviser, Eytan Adar. Pursuing a doctoral program after just finishing un- dergraduate studies can be a daunting task but Eytan made it easy with his patience, kindness, and guidance. I learned a lot from our collaborations and idle conversations and I am very grateful for that. I would like to extend my thanks to the rest of my thesis committee, Mike Ca- farella, Danai Koutra and Cliff Lampe for their suggestions and constructive feed- back. I would also like to thank the following faculty members, Daniel Romero, Ceren Budak, Eric Gilbert and David Jurgens for their long insightful conversations and suggestions about some of my projects. I would like to thank all of friends and colleagues who helped (as a co-author or through critique) or supported me through this process. This is an enormous list but I am especially thankful to Chanda Phelan, Eshwar Chandrasekharan, Sam Carton, Cristina Garbacea, Shiyan Yan, Hari Subramonyam, Bikash Kanungo, and Ram Srivatasa. I would like to thank my parents for their unwavering support and faith in me.
