During July and early August of 2010, groups of 2-4 students will author an article in Citizendium on an "emerging technology" topic.  Students should include on each article more than one ''deep web'' reference such as academic (refereed) journals, patent searches, and business surveys.  The articles are not locked; we'd appreciate hearing any comments on the respective talk pages.

Articles under development

There are the top-level articles under development for this course (more to be added):

  • Stub Distributed_version_control [r]: Newer revision control systems for some of the most important open source projects (e.g., the Linux kernel, Qt, Ruby on Rails). [e]
    (assigned to Group 5)
  • Stub HTML5 [r]: HTML5 is the next generation hypertext markup language standard published by the World Wide Web Consortium to provide new ways of presenting content on the World Wide Web that include transition effects, animation, video, and more. [e]
    (assigned to Group 4)
  • Developing Article Semantic_web [r]: Tim Berners-Lee's concept of a "web of knowledge", whereby web-based document contents would be annotated and classified so that computers can parse the classifications and provide search results based on the semantic information (what the content means), rather than simply on matching of text strings. [e]
    (assigned to Group 9)
  • Stub Virtual_server [r]: Instances of server software hosted simultaneously on a single computer along with other instances of the same, or different, server operating systems. [e]
    (assigned to Group 3)
