As the industry continues to morph and evolve around us, meeting this demand is less about finding the right storage technology, operating system or topology but rather about the way the content is stored and managed as more than just "a bunch of files". Careful and pragmatic migration from various generations of storage technologies has been the norm for years while the IT/enterprise-centric space continues to grapple with the volumes of data and the demands of these environments motivated by the desire for low-cost, commodity technologies. This webinar will focus on standards-based middleware necessary to implement these advanced, scalable Object Stores acting as Storage Abstraction Layers over complex and evolving archive and preservation workflows, storage technologies, operating systems, file systems and more. Leveraging standards based approaches dealing with the unmatched demand seeded in the media and entertainment market, several providers, industry groups and end-users have developed best-practices in this important area, enabling content owners to remain agile and well-protected against this constant change. The presentation will highlight standards body activities, relevant on-premises and cloud-based technologies as well as successful case studies where these approaches are being leveraged for long-term asset protection and preservation today. Presenter: Brian Campanotti, P.Eng., Chief Technology Officer, Front Porch Digital Inc. Brian Campanotti is the Chief Technical Officer for Front Porch Digital, leading industry invention and advancement in cloud-based and on-premises global content storage management (CSM), media asset management (MAM) and content publishing, migration and preservation solutions. He is responsible for innovations in the area of cloud-based solutions for "big data" focused on media-centric content handling, delivery, storage and preservation. He was one of the primary inventors of the Archive eXchange Format (AXF) and has been active in standards body activities helping to promote innovation and openness in the industry for more than two decades. Mr. Campanotti and his team have won EmmyR Awards for their work in content collection preservation technologies and for innovation in serial digital video technology. Mr. Campanotti has founded several start-ups and began his career at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in Canada and holds a degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Toronto.. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

But while usage statistics may be ubiquitous, many librarians still struggle with the best methods of interpreting the data. The ability to effectively understand and apply usage data is an important skill for librarians to master as they attempt to analyze their collections and justify their expenses to administrations. This webinar, jointly presented by NISO and NASIG, will highlight the ins and outs of COUNTER, as well as discuss the process of analyzing the data once harvested. TOPICS AND SPEAKERS . COUNTER Update: Release 4 of the COUNTER Code of Practice for e-Resources - Peter Shepherd, Project Director, COUNTER . Integrating COUNTER Statistics within the Information Workflow - Oliver Pesch, Chief Product Strategist and Senior Vice President, EBSCO Information Services . Usage in the Eye of the Beholder: Developing Academic Library Usage Reports that Meet the Needs of Your Institution - Jill Emery, Collection Development Librarian, Portland State University Library REGISTRATION Registration is per site (access for one computer) and closes at 12:00 pm Eastern on May 21, 2014 (the day of the webinar). Discounts are available for NISO and NASIG members and students. NISO Library Standards Alliance (LSA) members receive one free connection as part of membership and do not need to register.

With the help of the computational intelligence, these digital ecosystems can exhibit new self-* properties (such as self-management, self-healing and self-configuration) environments, thanks to the re-combination and evolution of its "digital components", in which resources provided by each entity are properly conserved, managed and used. The underlying web-based resources mainly comprehend big data management, innovative services, smart and self-* properties platforms. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of digital ecosystems, they are highly complex to study and design. This also leads to a poor understanding as to how managing resources will empower digital ecosystems to be innovative, intelligent and value-creating. The application of Information Technologies has the potential to enable the understanding of how entities request resources and ultimately interact to create benefits and added-values, impacting business practices and knowledge. These technologies can be improved through novel techniques, models and methodologies for fields such as big data management, web technologies, networking, security, human-computer interactions, artificial intelligence, e-services and self-organizing systems to support the establishment of digital ecosystems and manage their resources. The International ACM Conference on Management of computational and collective IntElligence in Digital EcoSystems (MEDES) aims to develop and bring together a diverse community from academia, research laboratories and industry interested in exploring the manifold challenges and issues related to resource management of Digital Ecosystems and how current approaches and technologies can be evolved and adapted to this end. MEDES 2014 calls for full papers presenting interesting recent results or novel ideas in all areas of Emergent Digital EcoSystems. At the same time, the conference calls for short papers presenting interesting and exciting recent results or novel thought-provoking ideas that are not quite ready, and preferably include a system demonstration. Topics ------- MEDES 2014 seeks contributions in the following 10 areas: 1. Digital Ecosystem Infrastructure 2. Green computing 3. Computational and Collective Intelligence 4. Services 5. Trust, Security & Privacy 6. Data & Knowledge Management 7. Internet of Things and Intelligent Web 8. Human-Computer Interaction 9. Networks and Protocols 10. Open Source Paper Submission ---------------- Submissions must be in an electronic form as PDF format and should be uploaded using the conference website. The submitted paper should be at most 8 ACM single-space printed pages. Papers that fail to comply with length limit will be rejected. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 peer reviewers. After the preliminary notification date, authors rebut by evidence and arguments all reviewer inquiries and their comments. Based on the rebuttal feedback, reviewers notify authors with the final decision. Selection criteria will include: relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, and quality of presentation. Preference will be given to submissions that take strong or challenging positions on important emergent topics related to Digital Ecosystems. At least one author should attend the conference to present the paper. The conference Proceedings will be published by ACM and indexed by the ACM Digital Library and DBLP.
