My Blogs on WWERC WWERC 2008

Another really amazing project is named
“Search inside the music” and what it actually allows is… literally
searching inside the music!

The amount of music that is released is just of tremendous size.
That obviously presents a practical problem of categorizing and tagging
all the content. For a person it is not easy to arrange all his or her
music collection in such a way that would allow contextual and
meaningful navigation between the tracks.

‘Search inside the music’ does exactly this - it arranges the
collection by the pattern which is calculated from frequency
characteristics of a track. The practical part of the system allows
people to find similar tracks that they enjoy and also extends the
functionality further by integrating with social networking.

The demo which has been presented at the solutions pavilion
demonstrated an exciting 3D application which makes it possible to
browse one’s music collection in 3 dimensions and see how do songs
relate to each other in terms of similarity.

Sun is planning to open-source and release the product once it
reaches a more stable version. Hopefully users might get intelligent
track management in their favorite players and social networks!

So many things are happening at the Hotel St. Westin Francis, Union Square, San Francisco!! I'm sure you know the reason... No points for guessing, the Worldwide Education and Research Conference 2008 (WWERC 2008) has just begun!!

I was wondering what is going to be the best way to keep everyone informed on what is the happening at the venue... so I came up with this thing which I would like to call a "Status Check!" Every status check is going to let you know about whats happening in here and for those who are not here, what you are missing out (:-P just kiddin)!!

There is going to be so much to write about at WWERC08!! With so many speakers and every speaker being an Icon in his or her area, capturing all of their ideas and blogging about it is going to be so much fun and exciting! Along with me I have four other friends who are the Sun Campus Ambassadors from various countries, and their respective blogs are also the spots you would wish to keep looking at as they post their perception of the learnings at WWERC, filtered with the their culture and prevailing practices!

The links to their blog will be soon published on my blog too.. Links to other important resources on WWERC will also be put up on my blog pretty soon. I will try my best to keep updating every stuff concerning WWERC as soon as possible and make sure that you don't miss out on anything!! So keep checking and come back soon for more on the WORLDWIDE EDUCATION AND RESEARCH CONFERENCE 2008!!

Wondering why a separate weblog for WWERC 08, when I already have updates from WWERC being posted on my main weblog. The thing is, there are so many things happening at WWERC 2008 that it indeed needs a separate blog. With just less than 24 hours left, everyone who is a part of it is getting excited!! Don't miss out on the excitement and in case you could not get lucky enough to have the chance of physically attend WWERC, don't miss the live webcasts and recorded video casts available on http://www.ustream.tv/sun!! Have a great time at SF!
