Description
NPUC 2006 - New Paradigm in Using Computers

A host of new technologies, loosely called Web 2.0, enables interactive social computing applications and empowers everyone to become a publisher. It no longer takes a team of programmers, graphic designers, and content authors to create a compelling web experience. Individuals can now author fairly sophisticated sites using blogs and wikis that tend to look better than the ones "geeks" did only a few years ago.

And media authoring isn't limited to text and pictures -- podcasting technology allows many more people to publish audio and video. Web services and related technologies allow semi-geeks to create new services out of existing ones (mash-ups) without the extreme amount of work required to build comparable applications from scratch. As a result, we have a new set of questions to consider:

  1. What are the cultural implications as more and more people publish? Is there a limit to how many people will publish?
  2. What will the web look like five years from now? What tools will we need then?
  3. How will wide deployment of these new technologies affect accessibility and reusability of content?
  4. What impact will these technologies have on the information economy? Who are the winners and losers?
    5. Is it inevitable that desktop software will be replaced by web applications?

    We will bring together innovative thinkers from adademia and industry to engage in a dialogue that addresses these questions and more at this year's New Paradigms for Using Computers (NPUC) workshop. This non-confidential, invitation-only networking forum for the community is hosted annually by the IBM Almaden Research Center.
