CRN Sep 2011 Computing Research news A Publication of the Computing Research Association September 2011 Vol. 23/No. 4 House Appropriators Approve Small Bump to NSF Research in FY12 Congress Passes Debt Deal that Could Cripple Science in FY13 By Peter Harsha While Congress worked to pass and the Census.

    An Interview with SUSAN H. NYCUM OH 432 Conducted by Jeffrey R. Yost on 5 June 2013 Computer Security History Project Portola Valley, California Charles Babbage Institute Center for the History of Information Technology University of Minnesota, Minneapolis Copyright, Charles Babbage Institute Susan H. Nycum Interview 5 June 2013 Oral History 432 Abstract This interview focuses on law and the criminal justice side of computer security. Nycum discusses law school, her work managing and helping to manage major academic computer centers (at Carnegie Mellon and Stanford), her roles with various pioneering IT-related and law groups/associations (including ABA Science and Technology Section, the Computer Law Association, and the ITC Law Association), efforts with the law and computing within ACM, her influential collaborative research with Donn Parker on computer crime and computer criminals (including interviewing prisoners), and her work with law firm Chickering and Gregory. This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 1116862, “Building an Infrastructure for Computer Security History.” 2 Yost: My name is Jeffrey Yost from the University of Minnesota, and I’m here today in Portola Valley, California, at the home of Susan Nycum. Nycum: “Ick”. Nick-um. Yost: Sorry about that. Nycum: That’s okay. Yost: To interview her about computer security for CBI’s NSF-funded project, “Building an Infrastructure for a Computer Security History.” So I’ll begin with a few basic biographical questions. Can you tell me when and where you were born? Nycum: I’ll tell you where but not when. That’s still something that I keep quiet because of the fact that for many, many years I was far too young to have the responsibility I had, and now I’m far too old.

I’ve been playing videogames since I was five years old. My parents got an analogue Binatone system with seven games on it- all variations of Pong. I was hooked instantly. I remember a couple of years later when the Atari 2600 came out, and playing Adventure for the first time. It’s slightly comical now, in the era of Grand Theft Auto and Skyrim, but I clearly remember being completely awestruck by the sense of scale, the amount of world that could fit onto that cartridge. At the age of nine, I bugged my parents until they agreed I could combine all my Christmas and birthday presents from everybody for a whole year and get a ZX Spectrum 48K. And that was it: Manic Miner, Atic Atac, The Hobbit.

You could post about all kinds of things that might interest our members. Posts can include text, pictures, links and just about any other content you’d like to include. We can also enable automatic posts from services like del.icio.us so content gets re-used where possible. Posts move down the page as new posts are added. For some posts we may wish to permanently include them in the sidebar, but use of a link in a "Typelist". Content is always improved by relevant photos. We could include photos from events, photos of speakers at events and event-sponsor logos. For posts that don’t have that kind of content, services like iStockPhoto provide images for a very low cost that you can include. I added a random stock photo that our company has used in the past just to give you an idea. In the sidebars you can include both links to other content and content itself (via incoming RSS feeds that automatically update). I think we should also reserve one sidebar for sponsors of the blog, with space for their logos. December 19, 2006 Categories: Chapter Events This is a sample post to show you how you might fit in the sponsor ads within a post. The ad size that fits best is either the Button (125×125) or the Half Banner (234×60), both are below.

  • At the Charles Babbage Institute
    Organizing the History of Computing ‘Lessons Learned’ at the Charles Babbage Institute Thomas J. Misa Charles Babbage Institute, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis Minnesota 55455 USA; <www.cbi.umn.edu> Abstract: This paper tries to distill some of the ‘lessons learned’ from the Charles Babbage Institute’s quarter-century experience (1980-present) in organizing the history of computing. It draws on the author’s (recent) experience as CBI director; conversations with Arthur Norberg, CBI’s long-time founding director; and papers delivered at a special symposium appraising CBI’s role in computing history, which appeared in the IEEE Annals of the History of Computing 29 no. 4 (October-December 2007). Keywords: Charles Babbage Institute, oral history, archiving practices, electronic documentation, history of computing 1. Introduction When the Charles Babbage Institute (CBI) came to the University of Minnesota in 1980 (its origins were a few years earlier in California), no one knew what a research center in the history of computing should look like. Disciplinary research centers at the American Institute of Physics (founded 1961) and IEEE (also opened in 1980) were the closest peer institutions; there was also the Boston Computer Museum (f.1979) although the museum’s relocation to the West Coast, let alone its present incarnation in Mountain View, California, was yet some years off.1 The Annals of the History of Computing, then sponsored by the American Federation of Information Processing Societies (AFIPS), had started publishing in 1979. Arthur Norberg, with experience as a research historian at the Bancroft Library at U.C. Berkeley and at the National Science Foundation, arrived in Minnesota as CBI’s first permanent director in 1981.
