IPP Symposium

Web Programming Technologies

May 8, 2008

The contemporary Web has irrevocably changed our expectations of software platforms. It has, in particular, enabled data-sharing and distributed decision-making on a global scale. With these benefits come obstacles and perils that force us to (re-)consider basic notions of identity, security, and programming. At this IPP Day, we will hear diverse perspectives on these exciting developments from a broad spectrum of speakers.

Please RSVP by May 5th to abt@cs.brown.edu or 401-863-7610
