Gerdes, Associate Professor, University of South Carolina, Integrated Information Technology In this talk we will address the emerging area of 3D printing. We are hearing about amazing advances associated with 3D printers every day. These systems are showing up in TV series, in movies, and in the news. There have been recent articles detailing the production of an artificial ear printed from bio-material, a proposals to construct a unified plane fuselage using 3D printing, and construction buildings in distant and remote places (think the moon and mars) using 3D printers. We also hear of the potential for printing guns using this technology. In this talk we will give an introduction to the different types of 3D printing technologies and give some examples of how these systems are being used. We also will discuss the new 3D Design Lab currently located at IT-oLogy. This facility was funded through a recent USC?s ASPIRE grant, and is available to address the 3D printing needs of the whole USC community. You will see some examples of some parts produced using 3D printing. Finally you will get a tour of the 3D Design Lab and see two printers that use different 3D printing technologies. Date/Time: Friday, September 27, 2013 ? 2:30pm-4:00pm Location: second floor of IT-ology, 1301 Gervais St., Columbia, SC 29208 (http://it-ology.org/About.aspx) About Dr. Gerdes: After graduating from Cornell University with a Bachelors and Masters degrees in Mechanical Engineering Dr. John Gerdes worked 15 years in the combustion industry designing burners. In 1990 he returned to academics, earning his doctorate in information systems from Vanderbilt University. Along the way he has earned additional masters degrees in both Business and Computer Science. After graduating from Vanderbilt, Dr. Gerdes taught in the business schools of The Ohio State University, and the University of California Riverside. In 2006 he joined USC in the College of Hospitality, Retail, and Sport Management in what is now the Integrated Information Technology program. Dr. Gerdes? research interests are quite broad. In 2009 he received an external grant to study a new approach in student advising. This idea evolved, and was subsequently named a winner in USC?s QEP competition for SACS. Much of his published work focuses on web data mining, where he collects web content and then derives insights into user behavior and industry impact. A third stream of research is in the area of security technology, where his recent work on digital certificates has recently resulted in an issued U.S. patent. In 2013 Dr. Gerdes spearheaded a successful ASPIRE proposal that involved 13 USC faculty from 10 departments and 5 colleges to bring 3D printing to the USC Columbia Campus. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Refreshments will be provided.

The program is extremely rich in content and will draw attendance from scholars and practitioners from information related fields all over the world. The conference program focuses on research and technological development on the latest issues affecting information environments, information phenomena, and information users. The program sets to provide a wide range of research topics and related practical issues such as cloud-based metadata, biomedical research, social informatics to collective information seeking, adoption of social media, digital humanities and human information interaction, among others. We hope that the discussions generated by the papers, panels and posters will contribute to expand our understanding of information problems and to help us in better addressing them in our research and professional endeavors. Keynote speaker: Jorge Garcia, a Montreal-based expert in the area of business intelligence and data management. His work involves the assessment and implementation of information technologies. This year, the Annual Meeting follows the 9th International Conference on Knowledge Management (ICKM), another great venue for learning about developments in information and knowledge management. The presence of ICKM attendees at ASIS&T Annual Meeting should provide additional opportunities for great discussions. http://asis.org/asist2013/ .
