WEAM: Wed Chat with Desmond Saunders-Newton

[Friam mailing list]

Merle Lefkoff is hosting Desmond Saunders-Newton in Santa Fe next
week, and would love to have him meet the FRIAM group for a
chat.  Dez spoke at Lake Arrowhead and is an amazingly well
connected beltway technologist:

Dez will be available Wed morning next week, 5/14. Merle and I are
proposing
having a Wed 9AM meeting like our Friday ones (hence WEAM!).  I'll
talk to the Museum Cafe gang tomorrow to make sure it's OK.

Dez is taking on a project for DARPA's Information Awareness Office, as
a
Sr Science Advisor, looking into modern computer technology that can
help prevent conflicts escalating into war. This links into Merle's work
with modeling, and thus Dez's visit.  There are grants available in this
area, and naturally considerable government interest.  (Imagine that:
waging peace!) Some of our work in modeling, data mining and time
series analysis could nicely fit into this area.

If you have not yet met Dez, I really recommend it.  He's quite an
interesting and capable person, and surprisingly well connected into
the policy and technology community.

Merle: chime in if I left anything of interest out.

Cool. I really enjoyed listening to what Dez had to say at Arrowhead. I'll
be there.
