Business Case-Studies, Models and Design Principles
Dr. J. Sairamesh (Ramesh), Managing Partner at 360Fresh Inc.
In this talk I will cover Service ValueNetworks that have emerged in various Industries (e.g. Manufacturing, Pharma, HealthCare and others) in various forms and shapes over the last decade. The Service ecosystems supporting such value networks are complex and ad-hoc and have varying risk criteria, interconnectivity and risk measurements when compared to more traditional supply-chains and value-chains. Value networks as a research area represent a novel approach to modeling complex enterprise relationships from the perspective of value creation and sharing.
This talk addresses three major challenges of value network-driven enterprise analysis:
(1) unifying the business knowledge of multiple enterprises and their diverse and conflicting objectives in the value network,
(2) sensing the value network and processes through systems design, and
3) analyzing the value offered by multiple service entities in the network based on common goals and metrics.

This talk presents two case studies on Gears in the wild.
Zoho offline with Gears
First, you will hear first hand experience from one of the first implementors of Gears. Raju Vegesna, of Zoho, will discuss
1) Why we chose Gears
2) How we implemented this for Zoho Apps (architecture etc) for both Desktop & Mobile gears
3) Workarounds, gotchas & what we expect going forward in Gears
4) What's next on Gears+Zoho
Buxfer: Secure and offline finance using Gears
Next, Ashwin Bharambe and Shashank Pandit of Buxfer will present the details of how they used Gears critically to solve two thorny issues in providing an online financial service.

Interdisciplinary Studies of Open Source Software (OSS) Projects
Google Tech Talks
February, 25 2008
ABSTRACT
We all love to hate large software systems. They are hard to build,
hard to evolve, and don't work very well. Why is this? A lot of reasons,
some social, some technical, and some socio-technical. We believe that OSS
provides an excellent source of data to test hypotheses about the factors
that affect important phenomena/outcomes in software projects. Our group
at UC Davis, comprising bio-informaticians, organizational behaviourists,
physicists, and software engineers, is using a range of different approaches
to the analyze the veritable torrents of data pouring out of open source projects
to understand how things work in OSS, and what tools and techniques can
help. One important issue is IMMIGRATION: how do new people
join projects, and how can we help the difficult intellectual and social
challenges they face. We present two results:
1.a) Can we build "recommender" tools that help programmers deal
with "information overload" by helping them focus their attention?
1.b) Such tools have always been evaluated with user studies. Can
we do something more quantitative?
2) What are the factors influencing immigration of new developers in Open source projects?
Joint work with: V. Filkov, A. Swaminathan, G. Hsu,
and students C. Bird, Z. Saul, and A. Gourley
We gratefully acknowledge support from NSF (Science of Design and
Human and Social Dynamics Programs), the IBM Faculty Fellowship Program,
and the GrammaTech and SciTools corporations.
Speaker: Prem Devanbu
Prem Devanbu is Professor of Computer Science at UC Davis,
he joined UC Davis after almost 20 years in Industry, including 17 years
at AT Bell Labs and its various offshoots. He received his
undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering (Medium Current)
from IIT Chennai, India, and his M.S., and Ph.D from Rutgers University
in Piscataway, NJ.

Oread Disability Studies Section Ribbon Cutting
Ribbon cutting for disability-studies book section at Oread Books set for
April 6
Life Span Institute doctoral student Dot Nary always thought that there should be a disability studies section in the Oread Bookstore in the Kansas Union. She found that Lisa Eitner, general book supervisor at Oread Books, was enthusiastic about the idea.
The dedication of a section for books on disability studies and the disability rights movement will be 2 to 4 p.m. Thursday, April 6, in Oread Books in the Kansas Union on the University of Kansas campus in Lawrence.
A brief program at 2:30 p.m. will feature a ribbon cutting, speakers, a literature table and door prizes. Fifteen KU departments and organizations, including the Life Span Institute and several other Life Span affiliated centers, are co-sponsoring the event, which is free and open to the public.
Typically, bookstores designate sections devoted to books on group movements and issues, such as women and racial minorities, but it is less common for books on disability to be shelved together.
"It is important that we recognize the importance of the disability rights movement and of disability studies as an area of scholarship. This recognition can serve to promote greater awareness of the contemporary experience of disability in society and contribute to social change," said Dot Nary, doctoral student in applied behavioral psychology and co-coordinator of the event.
April 6 was chosen for the ribbon cutting to honor an event now considered by many to be the political coming-of-age of the disability rights movement. During the first week of April in 1977, people with disabilities began a 25-day sit-in at the federal building in San Francisco, the longest such event ever held in a U.S. federal building. A group of 120 activists with a variety of disabilities protested the fact that regulations to implement Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act had not yet been issued, thereby delaying discrimination remedies guaranteed by this federal law. Their protest was successful as 504 regulations were signed into law on April 28, 1977, without proposed changes that would have significantly weakened this landmark legislation.
Speakers at the event will include Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, associate vice provost for Student Success; Glen White, professor of applied behavioral science, who teaches an undergraduate course on independent living for people with disabilities; and a representative of AbleHawks, a campus group for KU students with disabilities.

Marijuana Use Studies - A History, with Ethan Russo, MD
At Second Clinical Cannabis Therapeutics Conference in Portland, OR (2002), Dr. Ethan Russo recounts major studies on the use of marijuana by different populations.
Beginning with the India Hemp Drugs Commission in 1893, Dr. Russo reports that every study came to basically the same conclusion -
Society has no cause for concern regarding the effects of Cannabis use on health or crime, and in fact, it has many positives - like medicinal value, spiritual traditions and productivity.
Other studies mentioned:
* Panama Canal Zone Army Study (1930)
* La Guardia Report ( 1943)
* Shaffer Commission (1972), with data from Greece, Costa Rica, Jamaica and America.
* N.Y. Academy of Sciences (1976)
* and other N.I.D.A. investigations.
Dr. Russo cites a great reference book for further study:
"Marijuana Myths; Marijuana Facts", by Lynn Zimmer and Dr. John Morgan.
Dr. Russo also debunks the myth that today's marijuana is stronger than 1970's marijuana.
Conference hosted by Patients Out of Time. DVDs are available at:

This video is part of a report on a Chronic Cannabis Use Study that Dr. Russo conducted on patients supplied legal marijuana by the U.S. government.Watch the entire presentation at:
