Search: the next decade
"Search" today bears only a passing resemblance
to its predecessor of the 1990s. Today it comprises, in addition
to the standard search engine, a
set of technologies that not only aid in locating information,
but — and this is even more important — will form the
basis for more human-like interaction. This panel brings together
speakers who have reputations as practical visionaries. They
will discuss the directions for search in the next 5-10 years.
Sue Feldman,
VP for Content Technologies at IDC: The consumer and business
technology worlds are converging. Sue Feldman will discuss the
emerging digital marketplace, powered by search, and fueled by
advertising revenue. The roles that are beginning to gel, and
the requirements to play in the new arena will be described.
Suranga Chandratillake (blinkx) will
discuss next generation search technologies including Conceptual,
automatic Audio/Video, Implicit query, and Smart folders. As
we enter a new phase of meaning-based search and processing,
we will consider the opportunities and pitfalls of these technologies
when applied to real applications.
Josh Jacobs, President
of X1, will describe the growing use of search technology to
spur innovations in user interface design. The discussion will
trace the growth of search as a primary interface metaphor, and
look forward at how search will affect common applications in
the future.
Andrew McKay,
SVP at Fast Search and Transfer, will discuss the emergence of
a new information access architecture that combines features
of database and content technologies in order to unify access
to both kinds of information — structured and unstructured
data. The effect that this unified access platform will have
on today's IT infrastructure will be described.
