Cool Algorithms: Video Recording for Future Generations
Erik Demaine, Martin Demaine, Jean-Jacques Quisquater

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Participants requested to attend all sessions (non-series)
Theoretical computer science is at an exciting time. Many major breakthroughs have been made, and the inventors of most major results are still alive today. To preserve this history for future generations, the goal of the the HiDAlgo (High-Definition Algorithms) is to record people describing the important algorithms that they invented or that they love, in short freely available videos.
This IAP event will kick off this project. The first day will consist of trial runs, with participants experimenting with recording and editing videos of themselves. We will also brainstorm styles for recording different types of lectures, and start developing a website with guidelines for submissions and a public repository of videos. The second day, we'll record a series of (short) invited lectures and edit them to seed this site with an interesting collection which we hope will grow.
Participants from any background welcome. In particular, we'd love your feedback on interview style, format, cinematography, editing, web, algorithms, people, etc.
Cosponsored by the Student Information Processing Board.

Developing Massively Scalable Cloud Applications using Spring
Saman Amarasinghe, Mark Fisher, VMware
Mon-Fri, Jan 10-14, 18-21, 09am-04:00pm, Haus Room - 36-428
No limit but advance sign up required (see contact below)
Participants requested to attend all sessions (non-series)
Prereq: 6.005
This hands-on workshop will begin with a tour of the open source Spring Framework, a platform for enterprise Java development. We'll cover everything from the concepts behind an Inversion of Control container to the ecosystem of projects that build on top of the core framework. Those projects support Web Services, Messaging, Enterprise Integration, Batch Processing, and more. We will focus the newer innovations that deal with integration adapters, mobile apps, and social media.
Students will form small teams to create a realistic application of their choice for the final project. Students will focus on building an end-to-end solution that is robust and scalable - especially one that can support viral growth if your solution becomes popular! The projects will be presented to the class and a panel of judges on the final day. The winning team will receive an invitation to the 2011 U. S. Spring Developers Conference and $1,000 cash prize.
