Distinguished Lecture on “Grounded Innovation: Strategies for Creating Digital Products” on Wednesday, 3rd Oct 2012
by Mohan HR 27 Sep '12

27 Sep '12

Dear all, IEEE CS Madras & CSI Chennai joins with IIT Madras & ACM Chennai in inviting you for the ACM Chennai Distinguished Lecture Topic: “Grounded Innovation: Strategies for Creating Digital Products” Speaker: Dr. Lars Erik Holmquist, Principal Research Scientist, Yahoo! Labs, USA Date & Time: Wednesday, Oct 3, 2012, 3.00 p.m. to 4.30 p.m. Venue: ICSR Auditorium, IIT Madras You are welcome to forward this invite to your colleague(s)/students who may be interested in this topic. About the talk: Computers used to be big, expensive and difficult to use; today, microprocessors are almost literally a dime a dozen. This means that we can add information processing to just about any everyday object, turning it into a digital product. But how can researchers, designers and engineers come up with and evaluate new concepts? And how do we assure that these new ideas are not just technically novel but also are taken up and used? Grounded Innovation is an approach that aims to balance the two axes of inquiry - understanding how the world works; and invention - coming up with something new. To do this successfully, we must both apply systematic methods, and understand the material of computation. In this talk, I will talk about some important components in the process of innovation, and how we can use practical strategies to enhance the chance of coming up with meaningful products. I will also work through a number of practical examples, both from my own research and from major companies, to show how five qualities of digital products - information processing, interaction, networking, sensing and proactivity - can be used as a resource in innovation. This talk is based on the book of the same title, published by Morgan Kaufmann. You can find more information at http://www.groundedinnovation.net About the speaker: Lars Erik Holmquist leads the Mobile Innovations group at Yahoo! Labs in Santa Clara, CA. Previously, he was Professor in Media Technology at Södertörn University and manager of the Interaction Design and Innovation lab at the Swedish Institute of Computer Science. He was a co-founder and research leader at the Mobile Life Centre, a joint research venture between academia and industry hosted at Stockholm University, with major partners including Ericsson, Microsoft, Nokia, TeliaSonera and the City of Stockholm. He received his M.Sc. in Computer Science in 1996, his Ph.D. in Informatics in 2000, and became an Associate Professor in Applied IT in 2004, all at the University of Gothenburg. In his work he has developed many pioneering interfaces and applications in the areas of ubiquitous computing and mobile services, including location-based devices, handheld games, mobile media sharing, visualization techniques, entertainment robotics, tangible interfaces and ambient displays. All of his work has been carried out in multi-disciplinary settings, mixing technology, design and user studies, often in close collaboration with industrial stakeholders. His first book, Grounded Innovation: Strategies for Creating Digital Products is published by Morgan Kaufman in May 2012.

S R Ranganathan and Mahatma Gandhi
by eswara reddy deva 27 Sep '12

27 Sep '12

Hello Friends: September 27 like January 30 is a day of remembrance. While the Mahatma Gandhi passed his last breath on January 30, 1948, on September 27, 1972 - exactly 40 years back- S R Ranganathan left this world. During Indian independence movement days Ranganathan received a telegram from Mahatma to go over to Sewagram, near Wardha, Maharashtra to discuss about library development in India. Ranganathan, when he joined the Madras University took a vow that he will never avail any leave of absence until his retirement. As such, he sought the advice of Rajaji-C. Rajagopalachari, the first Governor General of Free India- a close associate of Gandhi. Rajaji asked Ranganathan to reply to Gandhi that he would meet with him after his retirement. SRR did so. Ranganathan retired from Madras University in 1942. But his aged mother who wanted to visit Kashi Viswanath asked SRR to take her to Varanasi. Ranganathan replied to Gandhi that he would meet him on his return journey from Varanasi as his first duty was to fulfill the promise he made to his mother. Mahatma on receipt of the message sent cow's milk to Ranganathan's mother to Wardha Railway station. Although an orthodox in nature, his mother had a bath at Wardha station and drank the milk so graciously sent by Mahatma. Ranganathan wanted to meet Gandhi on his return from Benares, but Mahatma went on fast due to Hindu -Muslim riots and the Father of library science could never meet the father of the Nation. Thus, both the leaders – Mahatma and Ranganthan - proved themselves as KARMAYOGIs in the real sense of the word. For both of them WORK is WORSHIP. Ps:- This was narrated by Dr Ranganathan in one of our class at DRTC.I have published this anecdote in a magazine Day Star, December 1972 p.9,10.under the title Karma yogi Dr.SR Rangantan. I used to mention this during Librarians Day on August 12 at Hyderabad. My apologies for reposting this story after 10 years as I did in 2002.
