All news, including some 'old' news...

• I am co-chairing WWW2010 with Soumen Chakrabarti . Submit to WWW2010!
• I have given an invited talk at the International Workshop on The Next Generation of Quantum Simulations , which was held in Moorea, French Polynesia.

• We have received an NSF CLUE award that will allow our group to build infrastructure that supports data analysis and visualization on CLOUDs. We were highlighted on the NSF main page, which showed a series of visualizations generated by VisTrails on our display wall.

• I have given a keynote at the BTW 2009 in Münster.
• Together with Emanuele Santos and Claudio Silva, I have given a tutorial at the IEEE eScience Conference on how to use Vistrails to streamline data exploration and visualization. The tutorial slides and hands-on examples are available at http://www.vistrails.org/index.php/E-science_2008
• Together with James Cheney and Bertram Ludaescher, I have organized the Symposium on Provenance in Workflows , held in beautiful and snowy Salt Lake City from October 13-17th, 2008.
• I co-chaired and organized the International Provenance and Annotation workshop (IPAW) was held in Salt Lake City on June 17-18, 2008. For more details, see the IPAW 2008 Web site.
• I have attended the SciFoo camp . This was a *very* interesting event where I learned about Cosmology, mental disorders, chemistry, and bioinformatics. I organized a session on Provenance Analytics and the future of scientific publications (more on this later).
• The beta version of DeepPeep is now online!

• I have received an IBM Faculty Award.
• I have received an NSF CAREER award. This award will allow my group to build infrastructure for efficiently managing workflows and their provenance, and to enable casual users (who do not necessarily have programming expertise) to perform exploratory tasks and solve problems through workflows. In this project, we will collaborate closely with scientists in the NSF Science and Technology Center for Coastal Margins Observatories & Predictions. For more details, see the award abstract.
• The International Provenance and Annotation workshop (IPAW) was held in Salt Lake City on June 17-18, 2008. For more details, see the IPAW 2008 Web site.
• Our paper Querying and Creating Visualizations by Analogy (by Carlos Scheidegger, Huy Vo, David Koop, Juliana Freire and Claudio Silva) won the Best paper award at IEEE Visualization 2007. Here's a video that demonstrates both the query by example interface and the analogy operation.

• In September/2007, I hosted the CRA-W Distinguished Lecture series. Our distinguished speaker was Professor Susan Davidson (U Penn). For more information, see the Women in Technology Distinguished Lecture Series web page.
• Together with Simon Miles and Luc Moreau, I organized the Second Provenance Challenge
  
• Laura Haas gave the inaugural talk in our brand-new Women in Technology Distinguished Lecture Series.
  
• Together with Ken Brodlie and Claudio Silva, I organized the IEEE Visualization Workshop on Grid-Based Visualization, 2006
