CSU ISTeC IAC Spring 2005 Meeting
Wednesday, April 27, 2005
Minutes
Hosted by Joan Mitchell, IBM
Boulder, Colorado
Meeting from 12:00 noon to 4:15 p.m.
NOTE: List of attendees and briefings given are appended at the end of the minutes. Briefings
from items 1 and 5 are linked from this document due to their large size.
1. Lunch Discussion – IS&T “Super Cluster” Proposal - H. J. Siegel, ISTeC Director, briefed the
IAC on an initial proposal for specific new faculty areas in IS&T.
Suggestions from the IAC included:
• CRM – Customer Relationship Management
• Need better on-campus marketing – specifically to undergraduates
ƒ Name familiarization (branding)
• Lecture series with Colorado IS&T industry people as the speakers
2. Victor Walker (IBM), presented an overview of the functions of the IBM Boulder Division.
This was followed by a short presentation by Joan Mitchell (IBM) about her areas of expertise
and focus.
3. Pete Seel, ISTeC EAC Co-Chair, briefed the IAC on the planned FutureVision 2010
Conference, September 9, 2005. The program is designed to describe what the technical
world will look like for our students when they graduate in the year 2010. IAC companies will
have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with graduating seniors and graduate students in
IS&T majors at the conference.
4. Don Dulchinos, CableLabs, Louisville, presented an overview of CableLabs.
5. Michael De Miranda, ISTeC EAC Co-Chair, talked about the target goals of High School Day
(Thursday, October 6, 2005) and solicited input from the IAC on the agenda, industry
participation, and format.
Feedback from last year and suggestions for this year included:
• Industry reps need to speak to the kids at lunch – there needs to be at least one industry
rep per lunch table
• Don’t use theater for industry presentations -- need something smaller to promote
questions
• Industry and school department demos paired up good idea (a junction). If industry part
of “junction” is not hands-on make sure they go first.
• OK for industry to not see all of the students
• Industry wants to see Counselors too
• Booths in ballroom with displays
• Counselors do some of the rounds with the students
6. Pete Seel briefed the members on a planned four year Longitudinal Survey of Student Digital
Competencies that will begin in the Fall 2005. This project is a four-year research project to
assess the digital competencies of the first year class entering CSU in fall 2005.
The IAC questioned if curriculum would be updated as a result of the survey. Also if the
survey would change as technology progresses over the next four years
7. Tony Maciejewski, Electrical and Computer Engineering Head, briefed the IAC on the IS&T
Research Colloquium (April 13-14, 2005). Tony reported there were 34 speakers (from 13
departments and 6 colleges), 116 technical research posters, 40 liberal arts posters, and 376
registrants from 60 different departments or corporations. This was more attendance and
posters than any previous VPRIT Research Colloquium.
The members suggested additional types of follow on events that may be of interest to
Colorado IS&T industry:
• Industry speakers at future research retreats
• Future focused research workshops with industry and CSU speakers on a specific subject
8. The following items were suggested for the Fall 2005 IAC Meeting
• CSU department highlight (JTC)
• Company speakers, Sun and LSI Logic (host)
• “Coffee with CSU” – how to expand to other companies
• Update from High School Day 2005, plan for 2006

Featured Speakers
• Plenary session speaker in the morning
– razzle dazzle opening
• Producer, director, or animator from Sony,
Pixar, or Dreamworks
• Keynote speaker -- a nationally-known
expert on IT futures
• Still looking in this area
Track 1 -- Computer Security
•
As computer software and interconnected networks have
become more sophisticated and complex, a growing “hacker
underground” has emerged to exploit system vulnerabilities
with disruptive viruses and direct attacks on networks.
Criminal and cyber-warfare attacks are also an area of
increasing international concern. This track will explore
present and future trends in computer security, a rapidlygrowing field in information science and technology.

Track 2 -- Working in the Global
Environment – 2005-2010
•
Information technology workers are routinely assigned to work
in project teams on a global basis, spread out over many sites,
businesses, cultures, and time zones. Connectivity provided by
the Internet and other communication technologies facilitates a
collaborative work environment in which job assignments can
be performed anywhere in the world, without the barriers of
time and space. This track focuses on virtual teams. Experts
from industry and academia will discuss the benefits and
challenges of working virtually, and will explore the future of
teamwork in the global environment.
• Track Coordinators:
•
Jamie Switzer (JT) [email protected] 491-2239
•
David Hachigian (HP) [email protected] 898-4854
Track 3 -- Digital Imaging
•
Digital imaging (in both still and video modes) is still in its
infancy and will come into its own during this next decade. The
advent of high-definition digital television production and
transmission will be enhanced by advanced home theater and
theatrical digital presentation systems. Still photography is
being transformed from an analog film-based technology into
one that is native digital from the camera to the printer or
display. This track will explore the future of digital imaging
from image capture to final presentation in print, on screen, or
in a theater.
• Track Coordinators:
•

•
Bob Gann (HP) [email protected] 898-9387
Track 4 -- Digital Asset and Rights
Management
•
As the number of media files increase exponentially with the
proliferation of digital cameras, multiple digital audio formats,
multimedia technology, and illustration/ pagination software, a
pressing demand has been created for improved methods of digital
asset management for these formats. Archived media files must be
readily accessible to bona fide users on a global basis, while
simultaneously protecting the rights of the copyright holder and
preventing the piracy of these valuable assets. This presents a very
difficult challenge for managing these assets now and in the future.
Speakers will explore where this field stands today and what the next
five years will bring.
• Seeking speakers with expertise in this area
• Track Coordinators:
•
Adele Howe (CS) [email protected] 491-7589
•
Dana Heger (HP) [email protected] 898-2494
Track 5 -- Future of Interoperable
Networks: Wired & Wireless
•
The number of networked networks will increase dramatically
in the coming decade as wireless wi-fi hot spots grow to
include almost all public spaces in the developed nations of the
world. Grid computing will be a key factor in the linking of
wired networks to take advantage of economies of scale and
tapping underutilized computer cycles for the benefit of all.
This track will explore the future of wired and wireless
technology in an era where high-speed connectivity to powerful
networks will be a commonplace.

•
Dave Garrels (HP) [email protected] 898-9373
Track 6-- IT in Agriculture
•
In the last 100 years, overall agricultural production has
increased due to technological developments that allow for a
much greater production while utilizing less land. There are
emerging information technologies (GPS, GIS, remote sensing)
that have great potential to benefit the agricultural community
by monitoring crops, soils, pests, livestock production and
management, growth, and land development. This track will
explore and exhibit the new and upcoming IT applications in
agriculture.
• Speakers:

•
Raj Khosla (Ag) [email protected] 491-1920
Debra Zimmerman (HP) [email protected] 898-7187
Track 7 -- Alternative Models of
Computing
•
As the development of computing devices follows Moore's law
(computing power doubles every 2 years), two key issues loom:
whether/how Moore's law will be sustained, and assuming that
it is, what can be done about the exponential growth in raw
information that it is sure to generate. This track will present
some of the emerging ideas about these two concerns.

students, faculty, and guests
• Seeking participation of all IAC members
who are interested:
• As speakers
