UCCSC 2002, July 28-30

Berkeley hosted the 2002 University of California Computing Services Conference July 28-30, 2002. More than 300 people attended the event which featured presentations on new emerging technologies, wireless, e-business, educational technology, security, and a whole lot more. Guest speakers included Ruzena Bajcsy the director of CITRIS (Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society), Jack McCredie the Chief Information Officer and Associate Vice Chancellor for Information Systems and Technology for the Berkeley campus, and Daniel Greenstein the University Librarian and Director of the California Digital Library.

The conference theme Improving Life Through Technology focused on collaboration to develop innovative technology that tackles some of society's most pressing problems. The conference atmosphere provided attendees with the opportunity to exchange ideas and talk about specific issues and challenges they face as technology evolves. Campus reports were given through Sunday evening's poster board session, and many Birds of a Feather sessions provided another venue of informal exchange on specific campus topics.

Next year's conference will be held at UC Irvine. The official UCCSC list serve is maintained at UC Irvine: UCCSC@UCI.EDU. To subscribe email listserv@uci.edu and request: "Subscribe UCCSC *your name*." To unsubscribe mail listserv@uci.edu and request: "unsubscribe UCCSC."
