Materials from Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) Spring Membership (2010) Meeting
Eight days ago we pointed out that the abstracts for the Project Briefings at the CNI Spring Meeting in Charm City (Baltimore) were available online. In the past, we've learned about a number of interesting research projects being conducted by interesting researchers by reviewing CNI Membership Meeting abstracts.
The meeting is now over (it took place on Monday and Tuesday) and many of the materials (handouts, PowerPoint slides, URLs, etc.) are already online. Impressive.
Today, we're going to list the first five that we're going to review. Over the next week or two, we are going to post the five and a few others one or two at a time to give them greater visibility.
Note: The URLs below will take you to a page with an abstract and direct links to various materials.
