170913 -
170914 -       Towards an electronic workspace for distance collaboration and
170915 -       experimentation in research or other creative activity, to
170916 -       generate and deliver results using distributed information and

170921 - Mission S&T Collaborium.....
170922 -
170923 -       The Science & Technology (S&T) Collaborium initiative focuses on
170924 -       the transfer of knowledge and technology using the state-of-the
170925 -       art on Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) to
170926 -       Universities, Research Centers, private Corporations and
170927 -       Governments from developing countries to help sustain economic
170928 -       competitiveness and scientific and social progress.

170932 -  ..
170933 - Background and history of S&T Collaborium....
170934 -
170935 -        Since January 1st, 2000 the S&T Collaborium is a spin-off
170936 -        initiative of the Abdus Salam International Centre for
170937 -        Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Trieste, Italy in collaboration
170938 -        with the International Institute of Theoretical and Applied
170939 -        Physics (IITAP), Iowa, USA. It is expected that this S&T
170940 -        Collaborium will enlarge over the years to become an important
170941 -        partner in the pursuit of shared North-South and South-South
170942 -        opportunities.
170943 -
170945 -  ..
170946 - The S&T Collaborarium therefore appears to be an education and
170947 - research effort.
170949 -  ..
170950 - Work product of this organization is listed as.....
170951 -
170952 -     During 12 February to 2 March 2001, Collaborium members lectured
170953 -     and coordinated the Computer Lab at the Workshop....
170954 -
170955 -          "School on Digital and Multimedia Communications using
170956 -          Terrestial and Satellite Radio Links" in Trieste, Italy

170964 -        Reference to "Satellite Radio Links" may relate to John's work
170965 -        in wireless communications, including the initiative he is
170966 -        pursuing for the Cognitive Radio, reported on 010613.

170976 - that reviews Jack Park's ideas for improving SDS. ref SDS 15 0001  In
170977 - particular, Enrique mentions a reference to the record on 000608 that
170978 - explains Sandy Klausner's plans for a Collaborium to support
170979 - e-business, ref SDS 11 8446, which seemed similar to Jack's ideas for
170980 - a Collaboratory. ref SDS 15 BQ3F

170983 - Enrique asks about progress with Sandy's project, whether a

170993 - using distributed information and communication technologies, per

501326 -          ..
501327 -         SDS provides supports for capturing and managing chronology,
501328 -         context, and connections, explained in POIMS, ref OF 1 8555,
501329 -         which are critical elements of continual learning.  When we
501330 -         capture chronology, we understand sequence of cause and
501331 -         effect.  When we structure context in the Subject Index, and
501332 -         construct connections in the record we discover relationships.
501333 -         When we assemble chronologies based on context, we learn
501334 -         lessons from case studies of history.  These cognitive
501335 -         processes augment intelligence for relying on memory of innate
501336 -         experience.
501338 -          ..
501339 -         People need experience using "intelligence" to discover this
501340 -         opportunity, as proposed for research on transitioning from IT
501341 -         to a culture of knowledge, explained in POIMS, ref OF 1 K84L,

501394 -
501395 -            1.  Case studies from capturing organizational memory draw
501396 -                theory from history to guide taking action day to day.
501397 -                An example is the "book report" on 980307. ref SDS 8
501398 -                0001  Ideas drawn from a book are related to specific
501399 -                history, and there is a record showing where those
501400 -                ideas were implemented later in life.

501409 -                of life.  Strengthening natual intelligence for solving

501423 -                000623, ref SDS 12 2915, because work with organic
501424 -                structure strengthens cognitive awareness, which is
501425 -                where additional strength does the most good.  On
501426 -                991025 Peter Drucker noted advantages for technology to

501429 -                that eventually discloses application for an "engine."
501430 -                However, the predicate is formulating an architecture
501431 -                of human thought that is susceptible to an engine.
