***************************Colloquium Reminder************************ "Innovation -- The American Way" Anita K. Jones Department of Computer Science School of Engineering & Applied Science University of Virginia The development of new knowledge and the application of that knowledge to yield new processes, techniques and products that have value to the nation is the result of the American Innovation Enterprise. It involves many different players -- individuals and organizations -- which often have no direct contact, and in some cases, have no apparent interest in one another, even though some depend quite critically on others. Players operate under very different rules and constraints. So, some relationships are unspoken; they are unacknowledged. Others are noted, but no overt, sealed covenant may exist between the parties to ensure that they behave in a mutually beneficial fashion. This lecture will explore the relationships between organizations involved in the American Innovation Enterprise, as well as some of the implications and behaviors that result. Specific examples will come from the information technology arena and from the speaker's experience serving in a position with responsibility for theDepartment of Defense's science and technology program during President Clinton's first term. Tuesday, October 27, 1998 Moore School - Room 216 3:00 - 4:30 p.m.
