As the Web Turns 25, Its Creator Talks About Its Future
The New York Times
The creators of the World Wide Web, including Sir Tim Berners-Lee, worry that companies could destroy the open nature of the Internet in their quest to make more money. The World Wide Web Foundation estimates that every minute, billions of connected users send each other hundreds of millions of messages, share 20 million photos, and exchange at least $15 million in goods and services. "I spent a lot of time trying to make sure people could put anything on the Web, that it was universal," Berners-Lee says. "Obviously, I had no idea that people would put literally everything on it." However, despite all of the advances brought about by the World Wide Web, he says people need to realize that a current battle around so-called network neutrality could permanently harm the future of the Web. "The Web should be a neutral medium. The openness of the Web is really, really important," Berners-Lee says. "It's important for the open markets, for the economy, and for democracy."

Research Features From Across the Country and Around the World
UC Berkeley Making Sense of Big Data
UC Berkeley NewsCenter
University of California, Berkeley professor Ben Recht's work concentrates on simplifying data analysis, with particular emphasis on the incorporation of expert knowledge within data analysis. He is especially eager to create ways to address problems common to many investigations, and he already has demonstrated that the same mathematical model can surmount computational challenges of determining a molecule's structure, predicting traffic flow, or forecasting an online shopper's habits. "We're trying to understand if there's a single tool that all can use in data analysis," Recht says. "Is there a way of looking at analysis of huge amounts of data in which you don't have to build a giant new factory from scratch each time?"

Indiana U/Purdue U Researchers Use Computers to 'See' Neurons to Better Understand Brain Function
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) researchers recently conducted a study revealing new information about the motor circuits of the brain that could help those developing therapies to treat conditions such as stroke, schizophrenia, spinal cord injury, or Alzheimer's disease. "Using the tools of artificial intelligence, specifically computer vision and image processing, we are able to visualize and process actual neurons of model organism," says IUPUI professor Gavriil Tsechpenakis. "Our work in the brain of a model organism--the fruit fly--will help us and other researchers move forward to more complex organisms with the ultimate goal of reconstructing the human central nervous system to gain insight into what goes wrong at the cellular level when devastating disorders of the brain and spinal cord occur."

Facebook Feelings Are Contagious, UC San Diego Study Show
University of California, San Diego (UCSD) researchers analyzed more than a billion anonymized status updates among more than 100 million Facebook users in the United States and found that positive posts encouraged positive posts and negative posts produced negative ones, with the positive posts being more influential, or more contagious. "Our study suggests that people are not just choosing other people like themselves to associate with but actually causing their friends' emotional expressions to change," says UCSD professor James Fowler. "We have enough power in this data set to show that emotional expressions spread online and also that positive expressions spread more than negative." Each additional negative post yields 1.29 more negative posts among a person's friends, while each additional positive post yields an additional 1.75 positive posts among friends, according to the study.

North Carolina State’s Computational Tool Offers New Insight Into Key Biological Processes
A new computational tool could give scientists a better understanding of the functional units critical to the performance of the biochemical pathways that govern biological processes. Developed by researchers from North Carolina State University (NCSU), the algorithm can identify which metabolites, biochemical reactions, and enzymes are related to each other, group them into functional modules, and identify whether an individual component plays a role in multiple modules. The algorithm also characterizes how the relationships between different modules and individual components may change over time and under different internal and external conditions. The input for the algorithm comes from using dynamic models to observe changes in concentrations of metabolites, biochemical reactions, and enzymes under various conditions.

Women of Congress Promote STEM Education, Careers
Roll Call
A group of women in Congress recently met with business leaders at an event hosted by the nonpartisan Million Women Mentors to discuss how to encourage young women to enter science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. "There is a disconnect between positions America's workforce needs and the fields young women are pursuing," says Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY). Girls need mentorship and hands-on education that will help them view STEM careers as a possibility, female leaders say. In line with that goal, Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) and Kay Granger (R-TX) have introduced the 21st Century STEM for Underrepresented Students Act. The bill would use National Science Foundation grants to fund research on STEM programs that target elementary and middle school students who are typically underrepresented in STEM fields.

Is It Time To Dismantle the Lecture Hall?
In this debate, the question might not be so much about whether online education is effective, but whether it could be any worse than the existing model.
When Anant Agarwal was in college, he would "follow the professor for the first five minutes" and then get lost and spend the next hour scrambling to keep up with note taking. That's no way to run a learning model, said this professor of electrical engineering and computer science at MIT and CEO of edX, the storied MOOC site founded by Harvard and MIT. On the other hand, "Online education will not replace the great colleges." People learn from each other when they "work together, live together, sleep together," said Jonathan Cole, professor at Columbia University and author of the 2011 book The Great American University: Its Rise to Preeminence, Its Indispensable National Role, Why It Must Be Protected. Then again, contended Ben Nelson, the practice of paying a professor to teach just a few students each year is not exactly an economically viable model. Those who oppose the rise of massive open online courses are critiquing the current state, "not what the potential is," added this founder and CEO of Minerva Project, a university opening in fall 2014 where students will live in close proximity and take classes online.

Who Needs to Know How to Code
The Wall Street Journal
As the ability to code becomes increasingly important in various aspects of life, many non-IT professionals are pursuing technical skills. In addition, young children are beginning to take online programming courses and attend private coding lessons. For example, Johns Hopkins University's Center for Talented Youth (CTY) offers online courses in a range of subjects for elementary- and middle-school students, and its Web development classes are growing in popularity. This year 762 children enrolled in CTY's Introduction to Web Design course, up from 63 enrollees in 2009. There aren't many opportunities to learn coding in elementary and middle school, and some parents want children to learn programming as early as possible, says CTY's Patricia Wallace. Although it takes hundreds of hours to become even a junior developer, many professionals simply need to understand coding basics to know what is possible so they can work effectively with an IT team.

UCSD Online Course Developed in CSE Ranks #1 in International Ranking
After all the work they put into the online course they inaugurated in the fall, CSE Prof. Pavel Pevzner and his fellow instructors, Phillip Compeau and Nikolay Vyahhi, have concrete evidence that it was a success beyond the impressive number of people who signed up for the course - over 30,000 in all. According to CourseTalk, which tracks user reviews and ratings for Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) on a worldwide basis, the UC San Diego-based course on Bioinformatics Algorithms (Part I) currently ranks #1 among all online courses with ratings. The rankings are based on the course's five-star ranking, and 13 superlative reviews that averaged 4.9 out of 5 points. The course just completed, and students may submit more reviews, so it's difficult to know how long the UC San Diego course will remain #1.

It's Cool to Be a Geek, EU Tells Women
Reuters
The European Commission has created a new campaign to attract women to the information and communications technology (ICT) sector. Launched as part of the recent International Women's Day, the campaign seeks to encourage more young women to study technology and pursue careers in the industry by celebrating role models and highlighting inspiring women in online videos. Women are needed to help ease the unemployment problem in the European Union, according to technology commissioner Neelie Kroes. There were more than 400,000 job vacancies in the ICT sector in February, but women account for less than 30 percent of the workforce. The number of job vacancies could swell to more than 500,000 by next year and more than 900,000 by 2020. Women represent 19.2 percent of bosses in ICT, compared with 45.2 percent of management in other industries. The number of men studying technology at the university level is stable, but the figure is falling for women. "ICT is no longer for the geeky few--it is cool, and it is the future!" Kroes says.

Successful Silicon Valley Women Star in Stanford Video Series Urging Young Women to Get Into Computing
She++, a volunteer group of female undergraduates at Stanford University, has created a series of short YouTube videos of motivational interviews with Silicon Valley women to encourage young women to enter computer science fields. The first six videos in the she++ library were released on Wednesday. The women in the videos hold jobs in programming, project management, computer security, and other areas of computing. "We wanted to showcase a lot of different people and careers so that viewers could watch the videos and see future versions of themselves represented," says student project co-leader Alyssa Vann. Although the videos target high school and college students, as well as teachers and counselors, she++ also hopes parents will show the videos to younger children. In making the videos, the Stanford students noticed the variety of paths that led women to computer science careers, including an interest in graphics or an effort to accomplish goals such as creating applications for local government.

Computer Science Students Help Singers Learn Their Vowels (video)
University of Rochester News
University of Rochester computer science students have developed Vowel Sounds, software designed to address some of the challenges voice students face. Voice students currently learn how to sing their vowels by listening to the teacher sing and trying to match the sound. Vowel Shapes automatically analyzes the vowel sounds produced by a singer and generates ovals that represent each different sound in real time. The oval shapes generated by the application change depending on the sound. The program first records the teacher singing the required vowel sounds and generates a library of sounds the students need to practice.

On the Lighter Side – Computational News and Innovations
What the Internet of 2025 Might Look Like
The Wall Street Journal
As the Internet approaches its 25-year anniversary, the Pew Research Center has released responses from science and technology experts about what the future Internet might look like. Pew had asked a group of experts in various fields what impact they thought the Internet would have in 2025 on social, political, and economic processes. Experts predict the Internet will be thoroughly embedded in homes and integrated into people's daily lives, with some noting a rise in wearable technology, massive open online courses, and business model changes. "We may literally be able to adjust both medications and lifestyle changes on a day-by-day basis or even an hour-by-hour basis, thus enormously magnifying the effectiveness of an ever more understaffed medical delivery system," predicts University of California, Berkeley software developer Aron Roberts. Massachusetts Institute of Technology senior research scientist David Clark says devices will become increasingly autonomous.

Microsoft Can Make the Walls of Your Room Display Web Pages
Network World
Microsoft researchers have developed SurroundWeb, a prototype system for displaying Web pages on multiple projectors to display information on the walls of a room. SurroundWeb is "a 3D Browser that displays webpages across multiple surfaces in a room, adapt their appearance to objects present in that room, and interact using natural user input," according to Microsoft. The system first creates a Room Skeleton using the Kinect motion sensor, which scans the room to see what kinds of surfaces are available. SurroundWeb then learns what projection equipment is available, such as monitors or phones. The monitor shows the main presentation information, while the projector shows additional content on the walls. In addition, phones can be used for interacting with the content.

Roll-Up Digital Screens Now Closer to Reality
EE Times
Researchers at the University of Surrey and Philips have developed the Source-Gated-Transistor (SGT), technology that could enable affordable flexible electronics, such as roll-up displays, to become widely available. The researchers found that SGTs can be applied to many electronic designs of an analog nature, as well as next-generation digital circuits. SGTs control the electric current as it enters a semiconductor, which decreases the odds of circuit malfunction, improves energy efficiency, and keeps fabrication costs to a minimum. The researchers say these properties make SGTs ideal for next-generation electronic devices, and could enable digital technologies to be incorporated into wearable designs built using flexible plastics or clothing textiles. "Whilst SGTs can be applied to mainstream materials such as silicon, used widely in the production of current consumer devices, it is the potential to apply them to new materials such as graphene that makes this research so crucial," says University of Surrey professor Ravi Silva.
