Data Day: CWISes: Myth, Mania, or Miracle

Abstract

This column is written by Howard Strauss, the manager of Advanced Applications at Princeton University. Advanced Applications is a small group that is charged with tracking current and emerging information technology and using it in innovative ways to build applications that improve the effectiveness of the University community. Recently Howard's group developed PNN ‐Princeton News Network, a CWIS (Campus Wide Information System) that has been distributed to nearly 200 colleges and universities around the world. Advanced Applications is involved in many other cutting‐edge applications ranging from an expert‐like system to allow unattended scanning to building an imaging system for the University library.
