NEASIS&T Awards Dinner with special guest Peter Morville "Ambient
Findability"
May 11 2006, 6-9pm
MIT Faculty Club, 50 Memorial Drive (Building E52), Cambridge, MA

Join us for a fabulous night of fine dining and fascinating discussion 
with Peter Morville, President and Founder of Semantic Studios, author 
of "Ambient Findability" and co-author of "Information Architecture and 
the World Wide Web."

Peter will speak on Ambient Findability: "At the crossroads of 
ubiquitous computing and the Internet, the user experience is out of 
control, and findability is the real story. Access changes the game. We 
can select our sources and choose our news. We can find who and what we 
need, when and where we want. As society shifts from push to pull, 
findability shapes who we trust, how we learn, and where we go. In this 
cyberspace safari, Peter Morville explores the future present in search 
algorithms, embedded metadata, ontologies, folksonomies, mobile devices, 
findable objects, evolutionary psychology, and the long tail of the 
sociosemantic web."

Presentation followed by discussion.
