Freddie Bulsara - First Show as Queen
On June 27, 1970, a historic and significant event in the history of "Queen" took place.
Freddie Bulsara takes the stage for the first time with members of the band "Queen" then called "Smile".
The band then included Brian May on guitar, Roger Taylor on drums, Freddie Bulsara (Freddie Mercury) on vocals, and Mike Gross on bass. Gross replaced the band's former bassist/singer Tim Staffell, who left and joined a band called Humpy Bong.
This historic show, which took place on June 27, 1970, took place in the town hall of Truro in the county of Cornwall in England, which will later become the Hall For Cornwall.
Drummer Roger Taylor was a native of the city of Terror, to which he moved with his family when he was 7 years old.
The person who organized the show was Taylor's mother. This was a charity show of the Red Cross held in front of 200 people and the band members earned 50 pounds each for it, a nice amount for the period and circumstances.
Taylor's mother placed two ads in the Brighton newspaper to promote the show. Although the ads were still published with the band's name as Smile, just before the show, the band members decided to take the stage with the name Queen after Freddie insisted.
The show opens with "Stone Cold Crazy" which 4 years later will be part of the band's third album "Sheer Heart Attack". The rest of the songs on the show were a mix of original material like "Father to Son" which would be released later on the album "Queen II", along with cover versions of Little Richard's songs. Brian May later noted that given the nature of the show they played more cover versions than original material.
People in the audience will tell that Freddie's performance was tremendous, he sounds like he's been doing it for years. He had a tremendous stage presence and sheer charisma that swept the band forward. Roger Taylor noted years later that his mother who organized the show was simply shocked by Freddie's performance. He had a tremendous voice and he had not even yet developed at that time his familiar and powerful singing technique.
Gross will later be replaced by John Deacon, Freddie Bulsara soon changes his last name to Freddie Mercury and the rest is history.

Q: SQL query to find continuous local max, min of date based on category column I have the following data set
    Customer_ID Category    FROM_DATE    TO_DATE
      1            5        1/1/2000    12/31/2001
      1            6        1/1/2002    12/31/2003
      1            5        1/1/2004    12/31/2005
      2            7        1/1/2010    12/31/2011
      2            7        1/1/2012    12/31/2013
      2            5        1/1/2014    12/31/2015
      3            7        1/1/2010    12/31/2011
      3            7        1/5/2012    12/31/2013
      3            5        1/1/2014    12/31/2015

The result I want to achieve is to find continuous local min/max date for Customers with the same category and identify any gap in dates:
    Customer_ID      FROM_Date      TO_Date       Category
      1              1/1/2000      12/31/2001         5
      1              1/1/2002      12/31/2003         6
      1              1/1/2004      12/31/2005         5
      2              1/1/2010      12/31/2013         7
      2              1/1/2014      12/31/2015         5
      3              1/1/2010      12/31/2011         7
      3              1/5/2012      12/31/2013         7
      3              1/1/2014      12/31/2015         5

My code works fine for customer 1 (return all 3 rows) and customer 2(return 2 rows with min and max date for each category) but for customer 3,  it cannot identify the gap between 12/31/2011 and  1/5/2012 for category 7.
    Customer_ID      FROM_Date      TO_Date       Category
      3              1/1/2010      12/31/2013         7
      3              1/1/2014      12/31/2015         5

Here is my code:
SELECT Customer_ID, Category, min(From_Date), max(To_Date) FROM
(
SELECT Customer_ID, Category, From_Date,To_Date
,row_number() over (order by member_id, To_Date) - row_number() over (partition by Customer_ID order by Category) as p
  FROM FFS_SAMP
  )  X
 group by Customer_ID,Category,p
 order by Customer_ID,min(From_Date),Max(To_Date)

A: This is a type of gaps and islands problem.  Probably the safest method is to use a cumulative max() to look for overlaps with previous records.  Where there is no overlap, then an "island" of records starts.  So:
select customer_id, min(from_date), max(to_date), category
from (select t.*,
             sum(case when prev_to_date >= from_date then 0 else 1 end) over
                 (partition by customer_id, category
                  order by from_date
                 ) as grp
      from (select t.*,
                   max(to_date) over (partition by customer_id, category
                                      order by from_date
                                      rows between unbounded preceding and 1 preceding
                                     ) as prev_to_date
            from t
           ) t
     ) t
group by customer_id, category, grp;

A: Your attempt is quite close. You just need to fix the over() clause of the window functions:
select customer_id, category, min(from_date), max(to_date)
from (
    select
        fs.*,
        row_number() over (partition by customer_id order from_date)
            - row_number() over (partition by customer_id, category order by from_date) as grp
  from ffs_samp fs
) x
group by customer_id, category, grp
order by customer_id, min(from_date)

Note that this method assumes no gaps or overlalp in the periods of a given customer, as show in your sample data.

The invention relates to the metering of bulk material in the form of solid beads, in particular balls of frozen aromatic hydrocarbons, and is intended for supply of the working substance (balls) in the pneumatic path with cold helium gas for subsequent delivery into the chamber of the cold moderator of fast neutrons intense source (nuclear reactor or nitrosopropane target accelerator).
Known metering device for supplying the solid balls of frozen aromatic hydrocarbons (a mixture of mesitylene and m-xylene) in the pneumatic path with cold helium gas for delivery into the chamber of a cold neutron moderator, with a cylindrical steel tank for the balls, with tanks of liquid nitrogen, with the disc on the bottom of the bunker with the hole diameter larger than the diameter of balls and located on the arc of a circle, with the shaft, designed for uniform rotation of the disk, with one outlet at the bottom of the hopper diameter substantially larger than the diameter of the balls, the center of which lies on a circle of the same diameter as the diameter of the circle location holes in the disk, and the disk in the area of the outlet is cut off; the description in the work of S.A. Kulikov, A. Belyakov, M.V. Bulavin, E.N. Kulagin, A. Kustov, K.A. Mukhin, A. Fedorov, E.P. Shabalin, CU Shabalin, Full scale model of peletized cold neutron moderators for the IBR-2M reactor. Proceedings of International Collaboration on Advanced Neutron Sources (ICANS XIX), PSI, Grindelwald, Switzerland, 2010.
The disadvantage of the dispenser is the web clipper, which promotes the formation of congestion of the balls during rotation of the disk and then Defrag. In addition, the liquid nitrogen cooling is not possible to achieve a low temperature at the bottom of the hopper and on the disk and also inconvenient in operation.
The objective of the invention is to provide a low temperature of the hopper without the use of tanks with liquid nitrogen and save desired and adjustable speed dispensing balls without defragmentation.
The problem is solved in that in cryogenic dispenser balls for cold neutron moderator, comprising a cylindrical tank for the balls, the disk dispenser above the bottom of the hopper, the drive of the dosing device and the receiver of the balls, the lower part of the shell of the hopper balls, funnel receiver beads and the adjacent portion of the pneumatic transport pipe made of copper, the upper part of the shell is made of thin stainless steel disk dispenser is one thin steel disk, while the bottom of the hopper, with a small number of holes, diameter 10-20% larger than the diameter of the dosed balls resting on the periphery of the bronze liner-the bearing and the drive shaft of the drive through the seal in the flange of the hopper is connected with the stepper motor, having a special program of rotation to the inner wall of the pipe receiver balls attached to a metal grid.
The main distinguishing features of the copper shell and more simple, gentle way of dosing provide the desired temperature in the hopper and adjustable feed balls into pneumatic transport pipe without destroying the balls due to the intermittent rotation of the disk and the lack of a slam.
Additional features add to the dispenser the following technical properties: the direct proximity of the pneumatic transport pipe from the metering disc and the presence of a metal grid and create conditions for a reliable account of balls that fall in pneumotach, through the use of the effect of dynamic pressure difference of gas while passing a slow-moving ball on a short interval between sampling points on gas differential pressure gauge.
The invention is illustrated in the drawing and photo of the dispenser; photograph made without screen-vacuum insulation and vacuum shroud.
The dispenser consists of a hopper of balls with a cylindrical cavity 4, with the upper flange and the cover 2, the metering disk with holes 5, mounted on the drive shaft 3, the actuator 1. The upper half shell of the hopper 8 is made of thin stainless steel, bottom part 9 is made of copper. Disk based peripheral part on Bron the new bearing. In the lower part, below the disc, a hopper connected with the pneumatic tube 6 conical transition funnel 10. Dispenser insulated screen-vacuum insulation located inside the casing 7. In the tank cover has a nozzle 11 for filling portions of the balls intended for dispensing.
The dispenser operates as follows.
After the cold helium with a temperature of 80-90 K) in pneumotach and cooling tank up to the same temperature, aided by the copper wall of the silo and pneumotropic (bunker has a thermal screen-vacuum insulation) is inserted through the pipe 11 special funnel is loaded into the hopper cold (at a temperature slightly above the temperature of liquid nitrogen) balls of solid mesitylene (or other material) to the level not exceeding the upper part of the copper shell of the bunker. The funnel is removed, the socket is closed and the stepping motor 12, the rotating metering disk. Due to the intermittent rotation of the disc, the balls fall through the holes of the disk in pneumotach with a controlled frequency. The narrowness of the holes in the disk (10-20% larger than the diameter of the balls) and a small amount (2 to 24, depending on the desired speed of ejection of the balls) determine a relatively uniform average time release balls without the help of the distributing device, which is used in the prototype. N the example, in one step of rotation of the disk equal to 1/4 of the diameter of the ball is dropped on average 0.12-0.14 ball in one hole, or about one ball with 8 holes. The ejection velocity of the balls is approximately proportional to the step size of the rotation. The variation in the number of balls thrown in one step, can be estimated using the distribution law of random variables Poisson.
When loading the balls into the hopper through the pipe may get nitrogen or air into the hopper and pneumotach. In this case, after filling balls in the hopper produce clean helium pneumotach by running the gas through a cold trap.
The described dispenser works within complex cold ball moderator neutron research reactor IBR-2M.
1. Cryogenic dispenser balls for cold neutron moderator, comprising a cylindrical tank for the balls, the disk dispenser above the bottom of the hopper, the drive of the feeder and receiver balls, characterized in that the lower part of the shell of the hopper balls, funnel receiver beads and the adjacent portion of the pneumatic transport pipe made of copper, the upper part of the shell is made of thin stainless steel disk dispenser is one thin steel disk, while the bottom of the hopper, with a small number of holes, diameter 10-20% more dimetridazole balls resting on the periphery of the bronze liner-bearing and the drive shaft of the drive through the seal in the flange of the hopper is connected with the stepper motor, having a special program of rotation.
2. The dispenser according to claim 1, characterized in that the inner wall of the pipe receiver balls attached to a metal grid.


Data from the international Cassini spacecraft that explored Saturn and its moons between 2004 and 2017 has revealed what appear to be giant dust storms in equatorial regions of Titan. The discovery, described in a paper published in Nature Geoscience today, makes Titan the third body in the Solar System where dust storms have been observed – the other two are Earth and Mars.
"Titan is a very active moon," says Sebastien Rodriguez, an astronomer at the University Paris Diderot, France, and the lead author of the paper.
Titan is an intriguing world – in a way quite similar to Earth. In fact, it is the only moon of the Solar System with a substantial atmosphere and the only celestial body other than our planet where stable bodies of surface liquid are known to still exist.
There is one big difference though: while on Earth such rivers, lakes and seas are filled with water, on Titan it is primarily methane and ethane that flows through these liquid reservoirs. In this unique methane cycle, the hydrocarbon molecules evaporate, condense into clouds and rain back onto the ground.
When Sébastien and his team first spotted three unusual equatorial brightenings in infrared images taken by Cassini around the moon's 2009 northern equinox, they thought these might be exactly such methane clouds. A thorough investigation revealed they were something completely different, however.
"From what we know about cloud formation on Titan, we can say that such methane clouds in this area and in this time of the year are not physically possible," says Sébastien.
Modelling also showed that the features must be atmospheric, but still close to the surface – most likely forming a very thin layer of tiny solid organic particles. Since they were located right over the dune fields around Titan's equator, the only remaining explanation was that the spots were actually clouds of dust raised from the dunes.
Sébastien says that while this is the first ever observation of a dust storm on Titan, the finding is not surprising.
"We believe that the Huygens probe, which landed on the surface of Titan in January 2005, raised a small amount of organic dust upon arrival due to its powerful aerodynamic wake," says Sébastien.
"For the moment, the only satisfactory explanation for these strong surface winds is that they might be related to the powerful gusts that may arise in front of the huge methane storms we observe in that area and season," concludes Sébastien.

You Need These White Walker Shots & Drinking Game For The 'Game Of Thrones' Premiere
The Night King cometh, and we have zero chill about it.
For six seasons, Game Of Thrones has been warning us that winter is coming. Well, Jon Snow better grab his furriest cape, because as the show gears up for its July 16th premiere (SPOILER AHEAD!), Winterfell is freezing over, and the White Walkers are well on their way.
It's only appropriate, then, that we pay homage to the only creatures more chilling than Cersei Lannister's withering glares with a frosty shot. Naturally, these drinks are served (mostly) frozen, with a vanilla milkshake base and a swirl of blue curacao, like the gleaming eyes of the Night King himself. The curacao may seem like an odd choice, but its orange flavor gives the drink a Creamsicle finish, so there's no burn — just an icy jolt that'll get you through every "OMG, I can't look ... and yet I can't look away" moment in the show.
And, just in case you're binge-watching the series to prep for the show — or you're hosting a watch party (in which case, make a double batch of these Dragon Fire wings too) — Managing Editor and raging pop culture expert Lindsey Ramsey has developed the perfect drinking game for you. Just make sure you take a sip for each of these rules, not a whole shot. Otherwise you'll never make it through an episode. Any episode.
The Game Of Thrones Drinking Game:
Whenever the following happens, take a drink!
Someone says, "winter is coming"
Dany gives a fiery speech
Tyrion drinks (okay, maybe every other time)
Jon Snow acts like an early 2000s emo kid
Cersei talks about the glory of House Lannister
Cersei references Joffrey
Jon's referred to as a "bastard son"
Tormund Giantsbane flirts with Brienne of Tarth
Someone yells "you know nothing, Jon Snow" at the TV
Conquering a White Walker (shot) has never been easier.

What is the Role of an Ohio Real Estate Appraiser?
You might be searching for an Ohio real estate appraiser; however, you may not know what the role is of an appraiser or the importance of hiring one. They can have a drastic effect on the price point of homes and commercial properties for sale, as they establish the value of properties by calculating and considering a multitude of aspects.
The primary service that an Ohio real estate appraiser provides is determining the true value of a particular property. An appraisal is a complex, but not impossible task. Find out some of the specifics, below.
Generally, the real estate appraiser will visit the property and perform an inspection, starting with the outside. They will then go inside of the property, looking room by room for damage, structural soundness, and what is actually present. The property appraiser will also make sure that the entire property is free from health code violations or safety issues; they'll even let you know what needs to be addressed before you'll be able to apply for a loan. In addition to uncovering potential problem areas, the appraiser will also look for amenities or features that the property offers. For houses, this may include a swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, new bathrooms, new fixtures, hardwood floors, and new appliances. For commercial real estate for sale, this may include updated exterior and interior, new or updated furnishings, updated accessories, and unique building features.
Once the Ohio real estate appraiser has finished the physical inspection of the property, they then take those notes and pictures and combine them with statistics of the area. How much have comparable properties in the area recently sold for? Are there any amenities in the neighborhood which might raise the property value, such as a nearby emergency response station or having easy access to a major road? All of these factors are taken into consideration when determining the final property valuation.
Who Typically Pays for the Real Estate Appraiser?
Typically, the financing organization or loan provider will want the buyer or seller to hire a real estate appraiser. Assuming you are in need of an appraisal, it's probably because you want to sell or buy a specific piece of property. If the latter, then the purchase will usually involve a loan. If a financer is going to invest in your project, they want to make sure that the property is in good shape and within a sound location; this way, they won't end up with impossible repairs or a loan in default. For these reasons, they will request that an Ohio real estate appraiser ensures everything is okay. They will often leave the choice of appraiser up to you or your real estate agent; however, they may provide a list of recommended certified real estate appraisers. The buyer is typically the party who pays for the real estate appraisal services; though, sometimes a seller will foot the bill if they want to back up their asking price.
There are many aspects involved in the role of an appraiser; however, the ultimate goal is to find the most accurate value so that all parties are satisfied.
The Robert Weiler Company is a professional Ohio real estate appraiser; we also offer a multitude of other commercial real estate services. Contact us today for a free consultation: 614-221-4286.

"We Are Legion: The Story of the Hacktivists," a documentary covering the hacking collective Anonymous, premiered March 11th at SXSW in Austin, Texas.
The film takes us inside the world of Anonymous, the radical "hacktivist" collective that has redefined civil disobedience for the digital age. The film explores early hacktivist groups like Cult of the Dead Cow and Electronic Disturbance Theater, then moves to Anonymous' raucous beginnings on the website 4chan.
Through interviews with current members, people recently returned from prison or facing trial, writers, academics, activists and major players in various "raids," the documentary traces Anonymous' evolution from merry pranksters to a full-blown movement with a global reach, the most transformative civil disobedience of our time.
More showings this week (For those of you in the Austin area):

SUBLIME EXISTENTIALISM
Posted by Meredith Pellon
Pre-recorded audio of footsteps loudly clacking fill the performance space. Eric Pitsenbarger steps in sync to the audio, and for a moment it seems Pitsenbarger might be about to break out into a tap solo, but instead they swiftly leave the space and assume the role of a stagehand. We are soon introduced to the characters of Mandy and Bebe, played by Nancy Cranbourne and Wade Madsen. Mandy functions as a spotlight-loving, bold performer, curious to figure out exactly what she is doing and where she is going in life, orating her every thought along the way. Bebe is her cat-like companion, frequently mimicking Mandy's movements and offering advice from time to time.
This is It, written and directed by Wade Madsen, is the first half of Madsen's evening-length show, From the Ridiculous to the Sublime. In this work, the behind-the-scenes elements of theater are highlighted, and these elements have more control than the performers. The disembodied voice of a technical director instructs through the speakers, "Let's take that last cue from the top" several times, interrupting whatever is happening on stage. Eric Pitsenbarger's character turns into a rogue stagehand, failing to leave the space before the lights come up, moving props that were not asked for, and eventually breaking out into song and dance. Coupled with the show's existential and religious references, the all-controlling technical elements take on a god-like role. The performers obey the voice from above, sometimes confused as to why the show is running in this way, but never disobedient. While Mandy, who is determined to pinpoint the nature of her existence, can see the stagehand and question their presence, Bebe never sees Pitsenbarger. This presents two approaches to the world—one is eager for understanding and confused by the unknown, the other faithfully adheres to the rules of the world without question.
The second piece of the night is choreographed by Wade Madsen in collaboration with dancers Jamie Karlovich, Sean Tomerlin, Calie Swedberg, Chloe Albin, Amy Ross, Nahshon, and Nicole Leung. In Looking Back at Itself, dancers wear exaggerated makeup of deep-set wrinkles and furrowed brows. Grey hair spray extends from the tops of their head to their upper bodies of their costumes, creating the illusion that a layer of dust has settled over each dancer, as if they stood under a crumbling ceiling. It seems Madsen may be carefully intertwining the process of growing older to an inevitable connection to a presence from above.

Expression of the face is a huge component of this piece. While the choreography is varied in dynamic, ranging from fast, rhythmic stomping to drawn-out legato movement along the diagonal, the dancers' faces are perpetually in slow motion. In the beginning of the piece they perform exaggerated frowns, setting a dismal yet theatrical tone for the work. Later, they embody what seems like the faces of people that were told to look like they are having a good time, when in reality they are miserable. These faces are accompanied by a kind of awkward social dance movement that is also set in slow motion. The pairing of this movement with these faces is both intentionally cringe-worthy and oddly fascinating.
The whole of this piece exudes the feeling that the group is collectively yearning for something they will never attain. Hands and arms grasp in desperation, and there is never resolution to what is reached for. The movement carries heavy momentum as the work progresses, and nothing is allowed to settle. Dancers breakout in segments of solo that are fleeting, lasting only a short period of time before the performer is then swept back into the movement of the group or offstage. At one point, the dancers complete a phrase in a circular canon before cycling away again. A looming feeling of impending pain lurks over the atmosphere of this work, as though the performers fear some sort of inescapable future.
In a particularly interesting moment, the audio of the clacking shoes resurfaces. The sound hovers over the performers on stage, panning to different speakers in order to create the effect that someone is walking above them from one side of the stage to the other. The dancers chase this sound while huddled in a group, the same look of slow-motion worry stuck on their faces as their focus is directed up. Paired alongside audio that includes a lecture unpacking organized religion, this scene portrays a group of people riddled with concern for what's above them. As the audience, we observe that they cannot see nor control where the footsteps are coming from, yet they chase the noise with fear in their eyes, inevitably unable to pinpoint where this upstairs entity is in space and what it means for the group.
From the Ridiculous to the Sublime presents two stories, both of which question the universe of the performers. Utilizing both humor and grief as access points, Wade Madsen and his collaborators navigate complex themes of aging, religion, and existential meaning with skilled nuance and apt metaphor.

The three most critical factors for optimizing a child's potential for early childhood development, intellectual capacity, and lifelong health are: being born on time, at a healthy birthweight, and being breastfed.
An unhealthy environment before and during pregnancy not only raises risks for complications during pregnancy, but sets the stage for health, developmental, and behavioral problems in infancy, childhood, and throughout life.
The Breakthrough Series (BTS) Learning Collaborative Model provides the tools and framework for rapid system change.3 The BTS has led to remarkable improvements in the health of individuals living with diabetes, hypertension, asthma, improved child immunization rates, and chlamydia screening among adolescent girls. This framework has been implemented to improve perinatal care in Vermont, and in a pilot program, through the Bureau of Primary Health Care.
This framework for quality improvement combines the client-centered, community-based, team approach to health care with techniques to make rapid system quality improvement.

We enhance the notion of a computation of the classical theory of computing with the notion of interaction. In this way, we enhance a Turing machine as a model of computation to a Reactive Turing Machine that is an abstract model of a computer as it is used nowadays, always interacting with the user and the world.

In critical infrastructures (CIs), different organizations must cooperate, while being mutually suspicious since they have different interests and can be in competition on some markets. Moreover, in most cases, there is no recognized authority that can impose global security rules to all participating organizations. In such a context, it is difficult to apply good security practices to the interconnected information systems that control the critical infrastructure. In this paper, we present the PolyOrBAC security framework, aimed at securing global infrastructures while preserving each participating organization's autonomy. In this framework, each organization is able to protect its assets by de fining its own security policy and enforcing it by its own security mechanisms, and the global infrastructure is protected by controlling and auditing all interactions between participating organizations. PolyOrBAC helps to satisfy the CII security requirements related to secure cooperation, autonomy and con dentiality, monitoring and audit, and scalability.

In this paper we discuss our ongoing endeavour to apply notations and algorithms based on the pi-calculus and its theories for the development of large-scale distributed systems. The execution of a large scale distributed system consists of many structured conversations (or sessions) whose protocols can be clearly and accurately specified using a theory of types for the pi-calculus, called session types. The proposed methodology promotes a formally founded, and highly structured, development framework for modelling and building distributed applications, from high-level models to design and implementation to static checking to runtime validation. At the centre of this methodology is a formal description language for representing protocols for interactions, called Scribble. We illustrate the usage and theoretical basis of this language through use cases from different application domains.
Kohei Honda works in the field of mobile processes, types and logics. In 1991, he introduced, with Tokoro, the asynchronous version of the pi-calculus which is the simplest known syntax of this calculus with full expressive power. He later developed, with Berger and Yoshida, the linear/affine type disciplines for the calculus which can faithfully embed programming languages. In 1998, he introduced session types for the pi-calculus, with Vasconcelos, Kubo and Takeuchi. His recent work includes type-based secrecy for a wide class of programming languages based on the pi-calculus, co- authored with Vasconcelos and Yoshida, program logics for imperative higher-order functions which extends to concurrency, solving some of the open problems in program logics. He has been active in an application of the pi-calculus and its type theory to major standardizations and development projects via collaborations with industry partners, including the W3C standardization for Web Services Choreography Description Language (WS-CDL); ISO standardization for international financial protocols (ISO TC68 WG4); and Ocean Observatories Initiative, a large NSF-funded cyber infrastructure Project.

A linear process is a system of events and states related by an inner product, on which are defined the behaviorally motivated operations of tensor product or orthocurrence, sum or concurrence, sequence, and choice. Linear process algebra or LPA is the theory of this framework. LPA resembles Girard's linear logic with the differences attributable to its focus on behavior instead of proof. As with MLL the multiplicative part can be construed via the Curry-Howard isomorphism as an enrichment of Boolean algebra. The additives cater for independent concurrency or parallel play. The traditional sequential operations of sequence and choice exploit process-specific state information catering for notions of transition and cancellation.
Vaughan Pratt received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. from Sydney University and his Ph.D. from Stanford under Donald Knuth in 1971, for whom he then worked as a postdoc before teaching at MIT and later Stanford from 1972 to 2000, graduating 14 Ph.D. students with 38 descendants. His research interests during that period included natural language processing, algorithms, logics of programs, concurrency modelling, algebraic logic, workstations, computer graphics, digital typography, and speech recognition. At Stanford he directed the Sun workstation project from 1980 to 1982, taking a leave of absence from 1983 to 1985 to serve as Director of Research at Sun Microsystems. Since 2000 he has been emeritus at Stanford while pursuing interests in ultramobile PCs, climate physics, autonomous vehicles, and universal algebra.
The technical capacities of service offers for e-government and e-particpation have considerably progressed over the last years. Yet, the principles of good governance are still not well implemented especially when it comes to policy development. Governments struggle to effectively apply innovative technologies in regards to providing open collaboration in policy formulation or to monitor and evaluate policy implementation. Through a recent initiative of the European Commission, several research projects have been launched to address these challenges. In my invited talk, I will investigate existing deficiencies in open government towards transparent policy development and I will present the approach of a project funded by theEC to develop better ICT support for open collaboration in policy modelling thereby combining existing e-participation tools, collaborative scenario generation and formal policy modelling to evaluate and explore policies via agent-based modelling (OCOPOMO - www.ocopomo.eu).
