Thanks to Joel for heads up on this. This is really useful. We are currently using Java, Scala and Akka with Jython in some of our experiments. Michael Slinn's article examines how to benchmark JVM concurrency options for JVM-based langauges including Java and Scala. If you are working on the code front - you will know that concurrency is key to many applications to take advantage of multicore processors and given futures, dataflow, actors and Scala's parallel collections are all backed by threadpools. -- this is certainly worth reviewing...

Traditionally, nodes in a sensor network simply collect data and then pass it on to a centralized node that archives, distributes, and possibly analyzes the data. Analysis at the individual nodes could enable faster detection of anomalies or other interesting events as well as faster responses, such as sending out alerts or increasing the data collection rate. This NASA brief looks at using cocalized intelligence and distributed processing at the network nodes for event discovery and pre-processing. Read More...

While autism was first identified more than 50 years ago, the disorder remains a medical mystery because the tools necessary to learn more about the genetics of autism simply did not exist. With the development of promising new technology and 6,000 genetic samples, the research "dream team" of the NAAR Autism Genome Project hopes to reveal genetic information about autism that was previously undetectable.

I’ve been thinking about Agent-Based Models (ABM) and how they are employed in thinking about policy and decision-making. My assessment is that that community has only scratched the surface of the possible with respect to modeling, and is currently employing ABM in ways that don’t really accomplish the research goals or potential for exploring micro-macro linkages to the extent possible and necessary...

Valve is one of the best and most innovative 3D companies on the planet. Michael Abrash is one of the best developers on the planet (if you are old enough to remember quake and know who John Carmack is - you will know why. If not - use google and be awed). The Valve blog is massively worth reading.... (as is Neil Stephenson's Snow Crash which is mentioned in the post- still prescient and massively entertaining nearly 20 years later).
