IBM Research has some examples of a Weather Visualisation system they have designed.

We are preparing to install IBM’s Deep Computing Visualization software on a computer in the new Visualisation lab that’s hooked up to the DiamondTouch. This will allow us to both:
* “Explore the styles of interaction possible across different devices and a heterogeneous computing environment”
* Support simultaneous multi-user interactions across different displays
I am expecting to demo my simulation on the multiple displays in the Viz lab in the months ahead, so this will be a good introduction to the technology.
From the fact sheet (PDF):
High-end graphical images can be viewed in two visualization modes — SVN (Scalable Visual Networking) to increase screen resolution and multiplicity of physical displays; and RVN (Remote Visual Networking) to allow remote use of the application.
These two modes reflect two of the challenges in my PhD research: creating a visualisation of a large dataset across many displays, and to allow parts of the visualisation to migrate across devices.

- IBM SmartCamp 2011: Plans for next year
SmartCamp winners join participants in IBM’s Global Entrepreneur initiative. As a result, they receive mentoring and support from industry experts and VCs, and IBM will help the startup ready its technology on IBM software and hardware at IBM Innovation Centers. The criteria for start-ups to participate in IBM’s Global Entrepreneur initiative are: the company must be privately-held; in business less than three years; and actively developing software aligned to IBM’s Smarter Planet focus areas.

According to a Reuters report, "The move comes as IBM is shifting its focus from increasingly commoditized computer hardware to higher-margin software and services, particularly analytics, which help clients analyze market data to plot trends or prevent fraud." The acquisition is only the latest buyout by a technology behemoth. In addition to IBM, Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ), Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO), and Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) have all made large purchases this summer. The companies have "announced new services and acquisitions in an effort to offer a broader set of technology services to clients," according to Reuters.
- IBM's Chief Thumps H-P - WSJ.com
"H-P used to be a very inventive company," Mr. Palmisano said in an interview at a Wall Street Journal event on Tuesday. IBM would never have paid what H-P did to buy data-storage provider 3PAR Inc., he said. "[H-P] had no choice," said Mr. Palmisano. "Hurd cut out all the research and development." Mr. Palmisano also criticized H-P's board for its handling of Mr. Hurd's exit. H-P gave Mr. Hurd a severance package that could be worth $35 million, but the former CEO took a top job at rival Oracle Corp. about a month later. "That is not a good use of shareholder money," said Mr. Palmisano. "It was not handled in the best interest of shareholders."
- Adaptive replacement cache - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Adaptive Replacement Cache (ARC) is a page replacement algorithm with better performance[1] than LRU (Least Recently Used) developed[2] at the IBM Almaden Research Center. This is accomplished by keeping track of both Frequently Used and Recently Used pages plus a recent eviction history for both.

Ellison says he learned that Sun’s pony-tailed chief executive, Jonathan Schwartz, ignored problems as they escalated, made poor strategic decisions and spent too much time working on his blog, which Sun translated into 11 languages. “The underlying engineering teams are so good, but the direction they got was so astonishingly bad that even they couldn’t succeed,” said Ellison. “Really great blogs do not take the place of great microprocessors. Great blogs do not replace great software. Lots and lots of blogs does not replace lots and lots of sales.”

- IBM to create up to 200 Dublin jobs - The Irish Times - Wed, Mar 24, 2010
Technology company IBM is to create up to 200 jobs in Dublin over the next three years. The €66 million development in its Smarter Cities Tech Centre is being assisted by the IDA. The centre aims to design systems that will help cites manage and connect transport links, communications infrastructure and water and energy networks.
- Create a Flex component
Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) strive to bring the interactivity, responsiveness, and robustness of traditional desktop applications to Web-based applications. RIAs are especially important for developers who are hoping to leverage business intelligence (BI) and Web 2.0 approaches to content and delivery. Adobe® Flex® is an application at the forefront of RIA-based solutions. A relatively new but fast-growing technology, Flex leverages the capabilities of Adobe's Flash Player to provide first-rate graphical presentations that feature highly responsive UIs. Flex ships with many useful and robust components, but things get more difficult when you need to step outside the narrow bounds of what Flex provides for you and create domain-specific functionality. This introductory article provides an in-depth look at the architecture of the Flex-rendering engine, walking you through the process of incorporating Flex components into your RIAs and explaining what you need to know to create new
- The Chess Master and the Computer - The New York Review of Books
The AI crowd, too, was pleased with the result and the attention, but dismayed by the fact that Deep Blue was hardly what their predecessors had imagined decades earlier when they dreamed of creating a machine to defeat the world chess champion. Instead of a computer that thought and played chess like a human, with human creativity and intuition, they got one that played like a machine, systematically evaluating 200 million possible moves on the chess board per second and winning with brute number-crunching force.
