Past Research Projects
2005 - 2008
"Kids' Informal Learning with Digital Media: An Ethnographic Investigation of Innovative Knowledge Cultures" is a three year collaborative project funded by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. Carried out by researchers at University of Southern California and University of California, Berkeley, the digital youth project explores...
2006 - 2007
Project M (for "modeling") is an effort to unify complementary system analysis and development methodologies, in particular those of Document Engineering and User Centered Design. Each methodology is a workflow whose separate steps are the modeling activities that produce some normative model artifact (for example: use cases, business process...
2000 - 2007
The Denali Project is a multi-institutional collaborative research project developing next generation scalable services for the global Internet, including: scalable performance-predictable communication, scalable multicast for efficient data dissemination, scalable storage for next generation information services, and design principles for...
2006 - 2007
Connecting XML and modeling languages so that models and their serialization in XML can be developed and maintained in sync. XML Schema is today's most popular schema language for XML, but it definitely is more a schema language than a modeling language. So when thinking about the abstract data model that should serve as the...
2005 - 2006
Garage Cinema Research was a research group led by Professor Marc Davis that focused on creating the technology and applications that will enable daily media consumers to become daily media producers. Garage Cinema Research's work encompassed the theory, design, and development of digital media systems for creating and using media metadata to...
1995 - 2005
The goal of this project is to develop the technologies for intelligent access to massive, distributed collections of multi-media documents including photographs, satellite images, videos, full text documents, and "multivalent" documents comprised of multiple terabyte databases.
2003 - 2004
A generic set of XML schemas, transforms, and style sheets for building a highly structured and automated web site for a "center" or similar organization. The navigation framework, site map, tables of contents, and links are all created by transforms from XML instances. It is one of several projects of The Center...
2003 - 2004
The XML Application Platform: The XML application platform is a Java framework for implementing applications that can be characterized as "forms moving around within and between organizations." The platform represents all data models, business rules, and workflow specifications as externalized XML documents rather than scattering them throughout...
1996 - 2003
The Cheshire II project is developing a next-generation online catalog and full-text information retrieval system using advanced IR techniques. The Cheshire II system was designed to overcome twin problems of topical searching in online catalogs: search failure and information overload. The system incorporates a client/server architecture with...
2003
This study is an attempt to measure how much information is produced in the world each year. We look at several media and estimate yearly production, accumulated stock, rates of growth, and other variables of interest. (See also the original "How Much Information?... |
