MIT's Technology Review reports on findings from the SOC project
The November 23, 2004 edition of MIT's Technology Review reports on
some of the findings from the SOC project. The article by Eric
Bender, which is entitled, "Rules of the Collaboratory Game,"
discusses some of the factors that contribute to collaboratory
success.
The SOC team presents a Symposium at the Academy of Management Conference 2004 August 6-12 in New Orleans, Louisiana

Gary Olson elected to the CHI Academy
Selection to the CHI Academy signifies exceptional lifetime contributions to the HCI field. Gary joins fellow SOC researcher Judy Olson, who was elected to the innaugural class of CHI Academy honorees in 2001.
Atkins chaired NSF committee issues report on development of cyberinfrastructure
Professor Daniel Atkins recently chaired an NSF blue ribbon advisory committee on cyberinfrastructure, and released this report. The NSF has a "once-in-a-generation opportunity," according to the committee, to lead the scientific and engineering community in the coordinated development and expansive use of cyberinfrastructure.
