Uma contribuição inovadora da USP Palestra realizada pelo professor do Instituto de Fisica Giorgio Moscati pelo Centro de Competência de Software Livre (CCSL) no IME-USP em 19 de maio de 2011
Palestra: Investigações em Arte Digital e Processamento de Imagens
Palestrante: Prof.Dr. Giorgio Moscati
Horário: 16 horas
Resumo: Uma contribuição inovadora da USP nas suas origens, em 1969, em colaboração com o renomado Artista Concretista Waldemar Cordeiro participei de uma rica experiência em Arte Digital, que foi logo reconhecida por especialistas internacionais como inovadora, e continua sendo amplamente citada até hoje. Pretendo relatar nossa colaboração, sua receptividade pelos artistas e a relação que tem com diversas áreas da Ciência, Arte e Tecnologia. O trabalho foi inovador no campo das tecnologias de comunicação visual, pois é considerado um dos primeiros trabalhos que envolveu processamento de imagem num novo nível, que hoje é a base da comunicação visual na televisão, e nas imagens apresentadas para o lazer e marketing. Foi também precursor no campo da análise de informações obtidas na forma de imagens e para sua interpretação. Outro aspecto importante, frequentemente lembrado é o da potencialidade da colaboração entre especialistas em áreas diversas, capazes de se comunicar e interagir, em abordagens inovadoras em campos anteriormente inexplorados.

How Pixar Fosters Collective Creativity
I’ve just read an excellent article from the Harvard Business review magazine: “How Pixar Fosters Collective Creativity”. The article is written by Ed Catmull, the cofounder of Pixar and the president of Pixar and Disney Animation Studios. He describes how is the creation process of Pixar movies, and how this process changed and evolved since Toy Story, the first movie from Pixar.
There are some points in the article I’d like to highlight.

Better Science Through Art – the talk
Common wisdom says that science and art are entirely different beasts; moreover, a similar source of wisdom tells us that science is valuable to society while art is a luxury. Why else would schools drop art from their curricula over the past 20 years? But artists and scientists approach their work in similar if not identical ways.

Designed as Designer
Conceptual integrity arises not (simply) from one mind or from a small number of agreeing resonant minds, but from sometimes hidden co-authors and the things designed themselves.

For the last two days, we have an awesome event at IME-USP with Richard P. Gabriel and Joe Yoder. Here are some pictures of this great moment!
Better Science Through Art
CCSL sponsors the coming of two big names of Computer Science to Brazil. They will be here next week (March 30th, 31th), at the Event “Better Science Through Art” with Joe Yoder and Richard Gabriel. The event will be awesome and FREE!

Using your Hack abilities to help Japan
I’ve just received this message from Elizabeth Sabet, and I’d like to share it with all my friends. If you can help, please go ahead! Use your technical skills for the good of others:
As we watch with shock and profound sadness the tragedy unfolding in Japan and across the Pacific rim in the wake of the Sendai earthquake, our hearts and sympathies are with the families affected and their loved ones around the world. Both personally and professionally, we are deeply sensitive to the challenges now facing that region.

More about CHOReOS
The CHOReOS Solution
CHOReOS will implement a framework for scalable choreography development. The goal is to enable domain experts to develop decentralized ultra-large scale (ULS) solutions composed of heterogeneous services that are adaptable and QoS (Quality-of-Service) aware. Prior to this, these solutions were only possible with the support of dedicated IT professionals to provide the skills needed for architectural design and software engineering.
CHOReOS will deliver formally grounded abstractions and models, dynamic choreography-centric development processes, governance and service-oriented middleware manipulated via an Integrated Development Runtime Environment (IDRE) aimed at overcoming the ULS impact on software system development.

What is CHOReOS?
Next month I’ll start my PhD program @ University of São Paulo.
I’ll work on a project called CHOReOS – Large Scale Choreographies for the Future Internet. People are asking me what is this project, what I will study, what exactly I’ll do and I have a simple answer to these questions: I don’t know. I mean, I don’t know exactly. But I know it’s cool and that I will be involved with great people. That’s enough.
