During July and early August of 2010, groups of 2-4 students will author an article in Citizendium on an "emerging technology" topic (to be pre-approved by the instructors).  Students will be expected to include on each article more than one ''deep web'' references such as academic (refereed) journals, patent searches, and business surveys.  The articles that students will be working on (to be listed below) are not closed to editing by other citizens, but we ask that other authors respect the "ownership" of these articles until after the conclusion of the course.  We'd appreciate hearing any comments or suggestions you might have on their respective talk pages, plus the usual correction of grammar or spelling.

During July and August (2010), small groups of students will work on article(s) in Citizendium on "emerging technology" topics (still being chosen). 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 Collaborative filtering [r]: The use of software algorithms for narrowing down a large set of choices by using collaboration among multiple agents, viewpoints, and data sources. [e]
    (Group 2)
  • 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]
    (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]
    (Group 4)
  • Developing Article Java concurrency package [r]: A library supporting threading and parallel programming in the Java programming language. [e]
    (Group 1)
  • Developing Article Multi-touch_interface [r]: Set of interaction techniques which allow computer or mobile users to control graphical user interface with more than one finger at either application or system level. [e]
    (Group 6)
  • Developing Article NoSQL [r]: A number of non-relational distributed database architectures, usually that store data as key-value pairs. [e]
    (Group 8)
  • Developing Article Recommendation system [r]: A software program which attempts to narrow down selections for users based on their expressed preferences, past behavior, or other data which can be mined about the user. [e]
    (Group 2)
  • 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]
    (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]
    (Group 3)
