Jose Godinez Commencement speaker is a joke. No disrespect to Mr. Holt, but the planning committee was just being plain lazy.

I'm going to have to agree here. I'm glad I prolonged my graduation a year because if he were my commencement speaker, I would have sent a ripple of Hell through the administration. Hopefully they put competent students on the board for next year.

"Every year, the Chancellor's Cabinet is responsible for selecting and inviting the keynote speaker."
So it wasn't the Graduation Planning Committee.

*Chancellor's cabinet was being lazy. Sorry, when I read this in my email: "We are pleased to inform you that the 2010 commencement speaker has been confirmed." I thought students had some hand in it.

The next Mind, Technology and Society lecture series talk will be delivered by UC Merced adjunct professor Paul Maglio, senior manager of Service Systems Research at the IBM Almaden Research Center in San Jose.

His lecture, "From Cognitive Science to Service Science: Distributed Cognition in System Administration," will... address understanding system administration, examining the movement of representational state across media in a system administrator's environment.

Troubleshooting large computer systems is often highly collaborative, Maglio says. Because these systems consist of complex infrastructures with many interdependent components, expertise is spread across people and organizations. Those who administer such systems are faced with cognitive and social challenges, including the establishment of common ground and coordination of attention, as they troubleshoot in collaboration with peers and others.

"I will put this analysis of system administration in the context service science, which is the study of how people, technologies, and other resources interact to create mutual value," he said.

The talk will begin at 2:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 9, in the Chancellor's Conference Room, KL 232. It is free and open to the public.

Maglio's research group at IBM encompasses social, cognitive, computer, and business scientists who aim to understand how people work together and with technology to create value. He holds thirteen patents and has published extensively in computer science, cognitive science, and business. He has a bachelor's degree in computer science and engineering from MIT and a Ph.D. in cognitive science from UC San Diego.

The MTS lecture series is made possible by a generous gift from the Glushko-Samuelson Foundation. For information: ckello@ucmerced.edu
