NEASIS&T Awards Dinner with special guest Peter Morville
"Ambient
Findability"
May 11 2006, 6-9pm
MIT Faculty Club, 50 Memorial Drive (Building E52),
Cambridge, MA

Join us for a fabulous night of fine dining and fascinating
discussion 
with Peter Morville, President and Founder of Semantic
Studios, author 
of "Ambient Findability" and co-author of
"Information Architecture and 
the World Wide Web."

Peter will speak on Ambient Findability: "At the
crossroads of 
ubiquitous computing and the Internet, the user experience
is out of 
control, and findability is the real story. Access changes
the game. We 
can select our sources and choose our news. We can find who
and what we 
need, when and where we want. As society shifts from push to
pull, 
findability shapes who we trust, how we learn, and where we
go. In this 
cyberspace safari, Peter Morville explores the future
present in search 
algorithms, embedded metadata, ontologies, folksonomies,
mobile devices, 
findable objects, evolutionary psychology, and the long tail
of the 
sociosemantic web."

Presentation followed by discussion.
