For about 15 years it has been increasingly involved in com mercialising its intellectual property\, through licensing and the creatio n of over a dozen-spin-off companies\, mostly in information technology an d biotechnology. We will examine the motivation for this activity\, some o f the mechanisms in place to accomplish it\, including a royalty and equit y sharing plan for staff members\, and some of the implications of commerc ialisation on the management of intellectual property and on the conduct o f ongoing research activities.\n\nC. Raymond Perrault is Director of SRI's Artificial Intelligence Centre and has been involved in SRI's commerciali sation activities for over 10 years. His major research contributions are in natural language processing\, speech act theory\, discourse\, planning\ , plan recognition and formal language theory. He has been Professor of Co mputer Science at the University of Toronto\, founding Principal of the Ce ntre for the Study of Language and Information at Stanford University\, Ch air of the Board of Trustees of the International Joint Conference on Arti ficial Intelligence\, President of the Association for Computational Lingu istics and Chair of the Advisory Board of the \nAI and Robotics program of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research. He received a Bachelor's de gree in Mathematics from McGill University and a Ph.D. in Computer and Com munication Sciences from the University of Michigan. He is a Founding Fell ow of the American Association for Artificial Intelligence.\n\nhttp://indi co.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a033363 LOCATION:CERN URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a033363 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Mediation Technology DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20000619T080000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20000619T090000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130520T164341Z UID:indico-event-a033367@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:As the scope of our information systems grows\, they have to c ope with \nincreasing heterogeneity. When information comes from remote\, autonomous sources\, the control over consistency that is required to achi eve effective production of information in traditional systems is lost. \n Heterogeneity exists at many levels. Data from different sources is \nstru ctured differently (say object versus relational)\, has differences in the extent of detail (say monthly budget versus weekly personnel \nassignment s)\, scope (all purchases versus inventory items)\, and semantics (differe nces in naming and ontology). \n\nThe objectives of research in mediation is to improve the integration of heterogeneous data and to provide aid wit h the search for relevant data\, combine data derived from multiple hetero geneous sources\, and process the results to create real information for t he user. \n\nThis talk will provide an overview of the current state of th e art\, and point out where more research is required. More information ca n be found on the web pages under http://www-db.stanford.edu/. \n\nGio Wie derhold is Professor of Computer Science\, Electrical Engineering\, and Me dicine at Stanford University and is a world-renowned expert on informatio n integration and among the founders of this field. He has authored over 3 00 scientific publications and is currently on sabbatical at EPFL\, Lausan ne. \n\n \n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a033367 LOCATION:CERN Council Chamber URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a033367 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Ontology-driven Information Integration: the Research Perspective from the DWQ Project and the Experience from the TAMBIS Proj DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20000619T090000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20000619T091500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130520T164341Z UID:indico-event-a033368@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Information Integration has the goal of providing an integrate d and coherent view of data stored in multiple\, possibly inhomogeneous in formation sources. There are two basic approaches to the information integ ration problem\, called procedural and declarative. In the procedural appr oach\, data are integrated in an ad-hoc manner with respect to a set of pr edefined information needs. In the declarative approach\, the goal is to m odel the data at the sources by means of a suitable language\, to construc t a unified representation\, and to refer to such a representation when qu erying the information system.\n\nThe first part of the talk will present an architecture for Information Integration based on the declarative appro ach\, which allows to explicitly model data and information needs - at the conceptual\, logical\, physical\, and meta levels. This architecture has been first proposed within the 'Foundations of Data Warehouse Quality' (DW Q) long-term research project. In the second part of the talk the TAMBIS s ystem ('Transparent Access to Multiple Biological Information Sources')\, will be introduced\, which is based on an ontology of biological and bioin formatic terms.\n\nEnrico Franconi is Associate Professor at the Departmen t of Computer \nScience of the University of Manchester\, the Principal In vestigator in the European ESPRIT-4 Long Term Research project 'Foundation s of Data \nWarehouse Quality' (DWQ ESPRIT-LTR-22469)\, and a co-investiga tor in the UK EPSRC project 'Flexible source integration in distributed kn owledge-based query processing for bioinformatic information sources' (TAM BIS-III EPSRC GR/M76607).\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?co nfId=a033368 LOCATION:CERN Council Chamber URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a033368 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Intellectual Property Rights & Patent Protection DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20001101T143000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20001101T150000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130520T164341Z UID:indico-event-a033364@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:There are many different forms of Intellectual Property\, some for which registration can be carried out\, such as\; Industrial Property Rights\, Inventions\, Industrial designs etc\, and some for which registr ation is not e.g.: Copyright\, Literary\, Artistic or Scientific work.\nTh is seminar will address how to protect\, use and respect intellectual prop erty by patenting.\n\nAbout the speaker:\nDorothée Weber-Bruls\, Dipl.-Ph ys. Dr.rer.nat.\, (German Patent Attorney\, European Patent and Trademark Attorney\, Partner) studied physics and \ngeophysics at the University of Frankfurt and specialised in solid state physics. After graduation she wor ked at Max-Planck-Institute (Grenoble)\, Institute Laue-Lengevin (Grenoble ) as well as Risø National Laboratory\, and as a teaching fellow at the U niversity of Frankfurt (PhD in physics)\, being especially involved in mat erials science\, \nmagnetism\, superconductivity as well as measurement an d control engineering. Dr. Weber-Bruls is still particularly interested in these areas of technology.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py? confId=a033364 LOCATION:CERN 40-SS-D01 URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a033364 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Radioisotopes in Medicine: Requirements\, Production and Applicati on DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20020304T090000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20020304T100000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130520T164341Z UID:indico-event-a033365@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Immediately after discovery of the natural and later artificia l radioactivity the radioisotopes have been used for very different kind o f medical applications. Today\, the larger fraction of the artificially pr oduced radioactive isotopes is utilized in medicine generally\, not only i n nuclear medicine. The application ranges from in vitro analyses over dia gnostic applications to the different techniques of therapy. An overview w ill be given on the different production modes of radionuclides based on r eactors\, small or medium cyclotrons and high energy particle accelerators . In the presentation the author will outline the different techniques of radionuclide application in medicine in some detail. Finally a short trend analysis with an outlook on future aspects of medical isotope application will be given.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a0333 65 LOCATION:CERN SL Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a033365 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER AROUND SWEDEN'S LARGEST MEDICAL UNIVERSITY\, K AROLINSKA INSTITUTE DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20020410T140000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20020410T150000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130520T164341Z UID:indico-event-a033366@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Those science based ideas that could be made practically usefu l are not always realised in commercial or any other form. To increase the chance that science based ideas are tested it is necessary to enhance awa reness among the scientists and PhD students about the possibilities. The best way is to create role models\, early examples of successfully commerc ialised scientific and/or technical ideas. Personal knowledge and awarenes s through media are important routes. Secondly\, It is important to educat e students\, scientists and others. Important topics are patents and other IPR aspects\, financing\; sources to approach at the appropriate time and business plan writing in order to clarify the business idea and model to oneself and others. In Stockholm\, several structures have been developed around the university world to facilitate commercialisation of science bas ed ideas. Examples are university companies such as Karolinska Innovations AB\, cross-disciplinary university projects such as Stockholm School of E ntrepreneurship and other activities e.g. Venture Cup and Connect.\n\nhttp ://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a033366 LOCATION:CERN 40-SS-D01 URL:http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a033366 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Assessing the market potential of a technology DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20030204T150000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20030204T160000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130520T164341Z UID:indico-event-a034703@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:This seminar is the first in a new CERN-PPARC technology comme rcialisation seminar series.
