"This event will feature Richard Beasley and will be based upon the relevant sections on SE and organisations from the public review version of the Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge (SEBoK) which can be found at http://www.sebokwiki.org/, and has been developed as part of the BKCASE (Body of Knowledge and Curriculum to Advance Systems Engineering) project. Attendees will be invited to discuss and review the material so far, with the intention of feeding pertinent observations back into the public review process, acting as a sanity check from real-life practitioners."

European Healthgrids: A glimpse of the future? - Tony Solomonides

Interesting and useful talk :-

European Healthgrids: A glimpse of the future?
Start: 20/04/2010 - 19:00
End: 20/04/2010 - 21:00
Speaker: Tony Solomonides
City of Bristol College, Bristol

Following a number of grid projects for health and biomedical research, Tony Solomonides led the development of the integrated road map for healthgrid research and deployment in the SHARE project. He has since focussed on two open problems in that field: live knowledge management in a healthgrid and automatic privacy and confidentiality negotiation also in a healthgrid. Having set the scene with an outline of projects and the road map, Tony will report on his and his students' work in healthgrids. - http://www.bristol.bcs.org.uk/?q=node/87.

British Computer Society (BCS) - Future visions blog

This British Computer Society (BCS) - Future visions blog began in January 2009. The blog is at http://www.bcs.org/server.php?show=ConBlog.20, and the creators welcome participation and they describe it here -

"We all have a keen interest in the future because, as the saying goes, we are going to spend the rest of our lives there.

As we well know, computers, computing and technology in general are having an ever increasing impact on our lives, the economy and society.

The BCS is delighted to have brought together four distinguished bloggers to share their thoughts and concerns on wide-ranging areas such as whether Big Brother really is watching us, is it for our own good or should we be worried, the digital divide, social networking, can we really trust our lives to the 'cloud', the impact on UK plc, and how to develop engineers to build the increasingly complex and interdependent systems of tomorrow.

We welcome your thoughts and comments on the posts in this blog."
