3 :10-4:00 p.m.
A welcoming reception and refreshments for David Tennenhouse will be available before the talk at 2:45 in 1131 Kemper Hall.
For almost 40 years, Computer Science has been dominated
by J.C.R. Licklider’s powerful vision of Interactive Computing.
Although this “Human Centered” line of research has
been tremendously productive, the interactive model will not scale as
networked computers begin to outnumber people a hundred or thousand-fold.
Intel Research has initiated work on Proactive Computing - working towards
environments in which networked computers proactively anticipate our needs
and, sometimes, take action on our behalf. This talk will present
the elements of our research agenda and provide an overview of the work
in progress. It will also identify some of the "Larger than
Intel" challenges that we hope others in the research community will
take on.
