Diamond Stories
The international Group on Earth Observations (GEO) was established in 2003 to engage all the nations of the Earth in building a coordinated, comprehensive, and sustained Earth observation capability. Key to that capability, and perhaps the greatest challenge, is the realization of a Global Earth Observation System of Systems, or GEOSS. The GEOSS 10-Year Implementation Plan has identified nine Societal Benefit Areas to which member agencies and participating organizations can focus relevant assets - anything from actual sensors and data sets to processing expertise to user requirements. GEO members and organizations strive to make GEOSS a reality by pooling their collective expertise to address critical issues either within one or more of those 9 areas, or across all nine at once. The GEO website describes GEOSS this way: "GEOSS will build on and add value to existing Earth-observation systems by coordinating their efforts, addressing critical gaps, supporting their interoperability, sharing information, reaching a common understanding of user requirements, and improving delivery of information to users." Each member nation has responded to GEO by establishing some sort of coordinating body; within the United States, that is the United States Group on Earth Observations (USGEO). This talk will describe the establishment of GEO and USGEO, will provide an overview of the activities and challenges in the area of architecture and data management, and will highlight some of the major efforts underway within USGEO today.
Kathy Fontaine began her policy career at NASA in the Mission to Planet Earth Program Office at the Goddard Space Flight Center in 1993. She wrote speeches, papers, and presentations for the management team, as well as contributed to the first version of the EOS Handbook. She also worked for NOAA while it chaired the Committee on Earth Observation Systems (CEOS) Working Group on Data (WGD) Catalog Subgroup. Ms. Fontaine served as rapporteur for the WGD meetings, producing real-time minutes each evening of the previous days' discussions and actions.
Since 2003, she has been working on general policy issues of interest to NASA and its Earth science data community. Ms. Fontaine co-authored a study which recommended the way forward for NASA’s Earth science data systems (referred to as the SEEDS Study). She now manages a set of community-based working groups which are a follow on of that study, and which examine issues of interest to the Earth science community, including standards adoption, technology infusion, metrics reporting, and software reuse. Part of her work also involves developing a cost estimation tool to determine what both Earth and space science data systems should cost (this software tool is currently in the preliminary stages of the patent process at Goddard).
Much of her current work involves interagency and international policy. She is a member of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) Committee on the Environment and Natural Resources (CENR) United States Global Earth Observation (USGEO) Subcommittee, serving as Co-Chair of the Planning and Integration (PnI) Team, and as Vice Chair of the Architecture and Data Management Working Group. At the international level, she is the NASA representative to the CEOS Working Group on Information Systems and Services (WGISS). In both of these groups, her role is to provide policy and technical expertise and guidance on data management, data policy, and data systems architecture issues from the NASA perspective.
She received a B.S. in physics (astrophysics) from the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology in 1984, and an M.A. in science, technology, and public policy from the Elliott School of International Affairs at The George Washington University, Washington, D.C., in 2002. Ms. Fontaine is a member of AIAA, AGU and Women in Aerospace, and has been listed in Who's Who in America since 2004. She has authored or co-authored over a dozen papers and articles on various aspects of earth science policy.

With recent flourishing of embedded media applications such as MPEG-2, H.264 and VC-1 encoders/decoders and wireless broadband communication infrastructures such as 3G, WiMax and Wi-Fi, real-time multimedia computing and communications on embedded systems becomes a major focus for both software and hardware designers. In the first part of the talk, the tradeoff between several design choices is analyzed, including the RISC processor, the SIMD processor and the dedicated ASIC.
Then, in the second half of the talk, three emerging R&D efforts will be highlighted. First, the design of a multi-format video codec to strike a balance between flexibility and performance is addressed. This is motivated by the observation that there are multiple audiovideo compression formats to be adopted currently. The trend of embedded processors is to support a wide range of audiovideo formats such as MPEG-2, H.264 and VC-1. The design of multi-format codec demands a careful architecture consideration. Second, we consider the design of low-complexity integrated encryption and compression speech and video coding algorithms, which can significantly lower the power consumption of mobile terminals for the digital rights management (DRM). This gives an example of lower power design from an algorithmic level. Third, the rate-distortion-complexity (RDC) optimized video coding techniques are discussed. We emphasize a concept called “decoding-friendly encoder design,” where many computational heavy operations can be saved at the decoder end while high visual quality can still be preserved.
C.-C. Jay Kuo received a Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1987. He is now with the University of Southern California (USC) as director of the Signal and Image Processing Institute and professor of electrical engineering, computer science and mathematics. His research interests are in the areas of digital media processing, multimedia compression, communication and networking technologies, and embedded multimedia system design. Currently, there are about 40 Ph.D. students his research group at USC, which is one of the largest academic research organizations in multimedia technologies (see http://viola.usc.edu).
Dr. Kuo is a Fellow of IEEE and SPIE. He received the National Science Foundation Young Investigator Award and Presidential Faculty Fellow Award in 1992 and 1993, respectively. He is a co-author of about 800 technical publications in international conferences and journals as well as seven books. Dr. Kuo is editor-in-chief for the Journal of Visual Communication and Image Representation, and editor for the Journal of Information Science and Engineering and the EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing. He was on the editorial board of the IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, and served as associate editor for IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology and IEEE Transactions on Speech and Audio Processing.

Conventional electronics has ignored the spin on the electron. Besides its fundamental unit charge, the electron has a magnetic moment due to its quantum of angular momentum. Things began to change in 1988, with the discovery of giant magnetoresistance in metallic thin film stacks. This led to the development of spin valves and magnetic tunnel junctions, which allowed magnetic recording to ride the tiger of 100 percent year-on year growth of recording density for the past ten years. Tunnel junctions are the active elements for most schemes for nonvolatile magnetic random-access memory, which will be briefly surveyed.
These devices, which underpin the multi-billion dollar magnetic recording industry, are nothing more than sophisticated magnetoresistors, the simplest two-terminal electronic device. If we are to see a second generation of spin electronics, it will be necessary to develop more complex devices such as a three-terminal spin transistor with gain. Here magnetic semiconductors are required, or at least the ability to manipulate spin-polarized currents in normal semiconductors. The puzzling new family of dilute magnetic oxides, such as ZnO:Co or SnO2:Mn, and the emerging class of d0 ferromagnets such as HfO2 or CaB6 may produce a new paradigm for magnetism in solids, and support entirely new device concepts. A major challenge is to separate spin and charge currents in solids, and transmit information magnetically, without dissipation.

How Power Quality and Reliability Impact your Business
This presentation will begin with a primer on identifying power quality (PQ) problems, typical PQ disturbances and their impact on power quality costs and performance. Sources and causes of power quality problems, references and terms, and "PQ Rules" will be explained. Specific focus will be placed on the impact of harmonics.
Next, the five key steps to performing a power quality survey will also be discussed, using the example of a typical industrial and commercial facility, starting from the service entrance, to learn about common power quality events and their characteristics. Finally, the use of PQ monitoring approaches and techniques will be described. Conventional instruments including handheld meters and permanent monitoring will be compared with the capabilities of graphical, multi-functional power quality analyses systems. Proactive versus reactive monitoring will be discussed along with specialized software used to characterize, visualize and analyze power quality data.
Thurman Bridgers has more than 19 years experience in the power quality field. His blend of theoretical and practical experience provides an excellent basis for teaching power quality seminars and the use of power monitoring equipment. Prior to his becoming an applications engineer, Mr. Thurman was the Northeast Regional Sales Manger and a senior technical support engineer where he assisted users in the setup of monitoring equipment, conducting of power quality audits and surveys, and consultation to help solve power quality problems.

Magnetic information technologies have enabled the amount of data stored last year to increase, by some estimates, by nearly one order of magnitude over that of the previous year. Personal data stores have reached into the terabyte regime and enterprise stores are now measured in petabytes. Digital music and video recorders have brought large data stores into the consumer market. About 80 percent of these data are unstructured (i.e., not indexed), inherently unstructureable (e.g., audio, images, or DNA data), rapidly changing (e.g., intelligence data and medical records), or held as an object within an otherwise structured database (such as memo fields, voice records, etc.).
To find something of interest and ultimately extract actionable knowledge from these unstructured data, like finding specific needles in a haystack of many needles, one must process all of the data stored -- not just an index as is often done with structureable data. Furthermore, since data stored are increasing at a rate faster than electronic processing capacity (as guided by Moore’s Law) our ability to manage this information in reasonable times is further aggravated. New and tractable processing approaches, yielding performance improvements in excess of 100,000 over conventional systems, may be possible over storage networks and large disk arrays with capabilities that include line-speed compression, encryption, signal processing and other broad functionality.
In this presentation, Ronald Indeck of Washington University in St. Louis will explore emerging systems and hybrid concepts that circumvent conventional, sequential processor and bus-bandwidth limits, making data movement more effective and efficient, as well as enabling content-enhanced storage on ingest. Early critical applications include intelligence (both government and commercial), medicine, scientific research, financial services, and enterprise storage networks.
