InfiniteGraph Announces Winners For Developer Challenge(0)
InfiniteGraph Announces Winners For Developer Challenge
Sunnyvale, CA (PRWEB) November 15, 2011 InfiniteGraph, the number one commercial, distributed and scalable graph database, announced today the winners of its latest developer challenge. The contest challenged developers to create next-generation social and information network analysis applications—whether a better social network or a solution for more relevant advertising and location-based services—leveraging InfiniteGraph’s API. Final submissions were due before Monday, October 17, 2011. The first prize winner will be awarded ,000 worth of Apple products, computer equipment and entertainment gear, with runners-up receiving ,500 Apple Store gift cards.
Winners include:
(1.) FIRST PRIZE: “InfiniteCommits” was developed by William Cheung and allows users of GitHub to quickly obtain useful information that isn’t currently available through the GitHub web interface. This application uses Play (a rapid Java and Scala web development framework) to generate a report of the most active files in a GitHub repository, while using InfiniteGraph’s Data Visualizer to see the latest changes and notes associated with each change.
A public screencast tutorial for InfiniteCommits is available here:
(2.) Second prize: “Find a Safe Home to Live” by Mustafa Musa Ulker and Huseyin Mert. Anyone looking to buy a new home may also be interested in this application, which allows users to search real estate listings and see a risk score associated with each property. Using this system, prospective buyers could obtain a complete insight of a home, through the near real-time calculation of risk scores based on state law enforcement and criminal records, crime statistics, environmental data including earthquakes, hurricanes and other natural disaster information, traffic and accident statistics, and virtually any other data available.
(3.) Third prize: “Call Graph Analysis” by Vimal Kumar. This application is another developer-focused tool that helps analyze “call graphs” extracted from large code-bases. Call graphs are a basic program analysis result that can be used for human understanding of programs, or as a basis for further analyses, such as an analysis that tracks the flow of values between procedures.
Vimal’s application uses InfiniteGraph to explore millions or billions of lines of code, and then quickly find all the connections and relationships between countless functions contained within the code. This gives developers the ability to quickly understand and visualize the most complex structures and interactions among different software modules, which is incredibly useful not only in their work, but for training new code contributors, or as a visual aid for debugging and testing purposes.

“The winners of our Developer Challenge were able to build very interesting applications in a very short amount of time, which highlights the value of finding and leveraging complex relationships between virtually any type of object or thing,” said Jay Jarrell, president and CEO of Objectivity, Inc. “With InfiniteGraph’s simple yet powerful API, organizations can more easily connect the dots hidden in virtually any type and amount of data, and obtain the deeper insights they need, in real-time.

Challenge of the Unexpected – Severn Trent(3)
 A MacLaren Memorial Lecture by Tony Wray. To watch the entire video, please visit: www.aston.ac.uk Tony Wray joined Severn Trent as Managing Director of Severn Trent Water in March 2005, taking over as Chief Executive of Severn Trent Plc as well in October 2007. In that time he has had to manage major legacy issues from a previous regime involving sanctions from Regulator Ofwat and criminal charges by the Serious Fraud Office, as well as unprecedented weather conditions causing major floods and loss of water supplies, while at the same time steering his rejuvenated organisation towards continued improvements and higher standards for the benefit of customers and all Severn Trent’s stakeholders. In this lecture Tony outlined lessons learnt and the way forward for Severn Trent to continue to restore its reputation as a water and waste company to be proud of.
 The Italian-born, British architect Richard Rogers has been awarded this year’s Pritzker Prize, the world’s most prestigious prize in architecture. The jury cited the 73-year-old Rogers as “a champion of urban life who believes in the city as a catalyst for social change.” Richard Rogers’s work is immediately recognizable. Most famous perhaps is his first major work — the Centre Pompidou in Paris — that he designed with the Italian architect Renzo Piano. Its radical design with many of the building’s functions set on the outside was extremely controversial in the early 1970s. Now it is seen as a landmark that transformed a museum from an elite monument to a place of social and cultural exchange. Rogers says he has fond memories of his time in Paris. “Clearly it was a very exciting period. It was a period of political upheaval in the 60s and it was also a period where people were looking at how to repair a city and the society. Paris gave us an opportunity to do a building, which was a very public building, which was my principle interest, but to also heal a small part of a city, which is a pretty unusual thing in your early 30s.” Rogers says he did not receive any new commissions for two years after completing the Centre Pompidou and considered giving up on architecture. Since that time, though, he has established offices in Spain and Japan and received commissions from all over the world. Another major urban project that followed the Pompidou can be seen to continue … |

RustyBrick Announces Search Engine Relevancy Challenge to Identify the Best Search Engine for Relevance(0)
Toronto, ON (PRWEB) May 4, 2005 To identify the best search engine for relevance, RustyBrick today announced the Search Engine Relevancy Challenge at the Search Engine Strategies 2005 Conference & Expo. Search engine optimization companies, search engine marketing specialists and webmasters are invited use RustySearch, a white-labeled search engine, to rate the top search engines.
Barry Schwartz, the Editor of Search Engine Roundtable and President of RustyBrick, Inc., said, Â?On April 13, we wrote a blog entry at the Search Engine Roundtable about The Search Engine Relevancy Challenge. In that entry, we proposed the idea of giving searchers, consisting of SEOs, SEMs, Webmasters and those interested in search theory, the ability to rate the relevancy of one of the big four search engines.Â?
Since then, RustyBrick has built RustySearch, which pulls results randomly from Google, Yahoo Search, MSN Search, and Ask Jeeves, in order to let searchers test the results and judge on a subjective level, what the relevancy of the results are on a one to five scale.
Said Schwartz, Â?We understand that there are other factors outside of what we can test that count for relevancy, but we cannot possible test each one. We are using the provided APIÂ?s and RSS feeds to pull the results from the search engines.Â?
How to Use RustySearch?
To use RustySearch, go to http://www.rustybrick.com/rustysearch.php, enter a search phrase and click search. Then, click on the title, the URL or the Â?rate this resultÂ? link. The site will open up in a framed window, so do not open the result in a new window.
At the top, there is a frame that says, Â?Rate the relevancy of this Web page for Â?search phrase hereÂ?Â?. Rate the result from one to five, one meaning a very poor relevancy and five meaning an excellent relevancy.
After you click a radio option, it should read, Â?Thanks for your input! Your vote (and many others) will decide who, really, is the search engine king!Â?
Then click on the button to take you back to the results. Continue by rating the next result on that page, or search on a different result.
Supporters of the Search Relevancy Challenge include Test Link Ads, PRWeb Press Release Newswire, SEO-PR, and RustyBrick. For other sponsorship opportunities, please contact barry @ rustybrick.com.
The Search Engine Relevancy Challenge is the first industry effort to identify the best search engine for relevance. Searchers, including search engine optimization companies, search engine marketing specialists and webmasters, are invited use RustySearch to rate the top search engines.

Ready For a Communicator’s Ultimate Challenge?(0)
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) June 23, 2009 A new website provides the how-to skills needed to succeed in a communicator’s ultimate challenge: defending an organization’s reputation in a crisis.
http://www.CrisisResponseCommunications.com is the online companion to author Bob Roemer’s book “When the Balloon Goes Up: The Communicator’s Guide to Crisis Response.”
“In a crisis a communicator is expected to think strategically and employ the relevant tactics to minimize reputational damage under extreme pressure unlike any other business situation. That’s why a detailed plan and preparation are critical,” Roemer said.
Together, the site and book include recommended crisis management goals and strategies and practical tips for creating and improving a communications plan, mapping a crisis, measuring the effectiveness of the response, selecting and training spokespersons, identifying and analyzing audiences, building effective messages and operating a crisis communications command center.
The website also features monthly crisis communications articles which visitors may view on-line and receive by subscribing to the RSS feed.
A former public affairs manager with two decades of experience in the oil and chemical industries Roemer has front-line experience responding to a wide variety of crises including industrial accidents and explosions with fatalities, petroleum and chemical pipeline spills and leaks, white-collar crime, murders and robberies.
He is now an adjunct lecturer teaching crisis communications in Medill School of Journalism’s Integrated Marketing Communications graduate program at Northwestern University.
“Students need specific skills because they could literally face a crisis on the first day of their first job. Communications practitioners also need this type of information, if for no other reason, to compare their existing plans with fresh ideas and perspective,” said Roemer.
“When the Balloon Goes Up: The Communicator’s Guide to Crisis Response” by Bob Roemer (Trafford Publishing, 2007) is available on Amazon.com.
