Whose Copyright
by Jeetender Chandna 10 May '06

10 May '06

Dear Friends We all know that a war is on --> publishers vs producers. The first thing that comes to my mind - when speaking of copyright - public funded agencies should NOT be permitted to hold any copyright. The movement of Creative Commons Licenses <http://creativecommons.org> is a great move forward towards liberating information for the common good. The Conference call for papers <http://www.icdim.org/submission.asp> seems to be a Case-in-point for the above statements. By what right does a publisher, even if they sponsor, become copyright holders of infornation produced in the public domain. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st International Conference on Digital Information Management (ICDIM) December 06-08, 2006 Christ College, Bangalore, India ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The copyright document by IEEE states: "4. In the case of a Work performed under a U.S. Government contract or grant, the IEEE recognizes that the U.S. Government has royalty-free permission to reproduce all or portions of the Work, and to authorize others to do so, for official U.S. Government purposes only, if the contract/grant so requires." NOW, this is for a conference to be held in INDIA. A word from the organisers would be very much welcome in this regard. To be impertinent, I would frankly say that by and large our group of librarians and library leaders are largely a group of voyeurs and reporters. What INDIA needs is : ACTIVISTS Secondly, in this age of video-conferencing and the all powerful internet, it seems such a waste of National Resources, that is to conduct in-person conferences. If we have to say something, we should organise local video-conf units, thereby eliminating expensive travel etc. Fringe benefits could be obtained by live streaming of the speaker which could be accessed by many more people. Yes, another fringe would be the feasibiity of attending only sessions of interest to oneself. Of late, most of us have, I presume, come to believe that the digital road is the path of the future. So why are we so tardy in its implementation. -- Regards Granthpal ---------------------------------------- Jeetender Chandna aka Vicky aka Granthpal Esha News Monitoring Services Pvt Ltd 10th Floor, Krushal Commercial Complex Chembur (W) Mumbai 400089 Tel: (91-22) 3245 2861 Email: granthpal(a)gmail.com

NCSI-Net Meeting
by Nandhan Ravi 09 May '06

09 May '06

Dear All , The next NCSI-NET meeting will be held on Saturday, May 13th 2006. The meeting will commence with a talk. All are cordially invited for the talk. Speaker: Dr. Sudhakar Varanasi, Senior Vice President, Satyam Computer Services Topic: Putting head and heart together: Technology in the service of Society: A case study of emergency services in Andhra Pradesh Time: 10-30 AM. Venue: Seminar Hall, NCSI, IISc, Bangalore Abstract: In India, about two lakh people face medical emergencies every day. Accidents at homes, workplaces and on roads happen quite frequently along with other medical, police and fire-related emergencies. The support systems required to deal with these emergencies in the society virtually do not exist in India. When an emergency occurs, we need a rapid action support system to come into force to bail the victims out of the imminent threat of loss of life or property. A systematic approach to providing total support to the victims of emergencies requires the integration of three phases (Sense, Reach and Care). A comprehensive emergency response system on the lines of 9.1.1 in the US and 112 in the EU was developed in the state of Andhra Pradesh by EMRI, a non-profit society that works on the PPP (public private partnership) model. Technology used in this project includes Computer Telephony Integration, Voice Loggers, GIS / Maps, GPS / AVLT, Mobile communications, e-learning etc. The EMRI project went live on Aug 15, 2005 and is now operational in 18 cities/towns in AP, covering about 13 million people, with an excellent support from the Government. The number of lives saved in exceeded 2000 during the past 9 months. The lessons learnt, the confidence gained and the future plans in this project will be shared during this presentation. Kindly confirm your attendance by sending a mail to: ravi.nandhan(a)capco.com or anitha_m(a)aurigene.com V. Ravi Nandhan. & Anitha M.K NCSI-NET Coordinators. With warm regards, V. Ravi Nandhan.
