Computing award goes to female for first time

One of the most prestigious prizes in computing, the $100,000 Turing Award, went to a woman Wednesday for the first time in the award's 40-year history.

Frances E. Allen, 74, was honored for her work at IBM Corp. on techniques for optimizing the performance of compilers, the programs that translate one computer language into another.

This process is required to turn programming code into the binary zeros and ones actually read by a computer's colossal array of minuscule switches.

Allen joined IBM in 1957 after completing a master's degree in mathematics at the University of Michigan. At the time, IBM recruited women by circulating a brochure on campuses that was titled "My Fair Ladies."

When Allen joined Big Blue, an IBM team led by John Backus had just completed Fortran, one of the first high-level programming languages.

The point of Fortran was to develop a system that could operate a computer just as efficiently as previous "hand-coded" approaches directly assembled by programmers. Allen recalled Wednesday that her task at IBM was to replicate the achievement on multiple kinds of computers.

"I had the good fortune to work on one big project on good machines after another," she said.

Her work led her into varied assignments, including writing intelligence analysis software for the National Security Agency. More recently she helped design software for IBM's Blue Gene supercomputer.

She retired in 2002 but has stayed active in programs that encourage girls and women to study computer science.

"It's a very tough problem overall," she said. "Constant attention to it is important."

Since the Turing Award was first given in 1966 by the Association for Computing Machinery, previous winners have included luminaries in encryption, artificial intelligence, hypertext, networking and other vital elements of modern computing. All were men, including Backus, the 1977 winner.

Allen called it "high time for a woman," though she quickly added: "That's not why I got it."

A Wireless Street Fight

Your cell phone is spying on you, but don't be afraid. Thanks to better mapping technology and hyperlocal services tailored to the small screen, the latest wireless gadgets can automatically pinpoint your location and then direct you to everything from the nearest Chinese restaurant to where your friends are hanging out. And while it may seem creepy to have your phone keeping tabs on you even when you're sleeping, this isn't some Homeland Security nightmare. It's just an easier way to find people and places nearby.

Mobile social networking is hot. The new Drift phone from Helio comes with a feature called Buddy Beacon that lets you see your location on a map that pops up onscreen, thanks to the global positioning system (GPS) chip built into the phone. You can also see where any of your friends are--assuming that they authorize it and own the same $225 phone. Targeted at teens and twentysomethings, the idea is that if you always knew your friends' whereabouts, it would be that much easier to meet up with them. "We create a natural extension of what people already want to do, which is, they want to be with their friends," says Sky Dayton, a co-founder of the Internet service provider Earthlink. Dayton launched Helio last summer with $440 million in funding from Earthlink and South Korea's SK Telecom.

Helio already has buzz--and lots of imitators. The start-up's 70,000 customers each spend about $100 a month--about twice the industry average--for an all-inclusive calling plan with text, photos and video messaging. A similar service called Loopt, which is free and works only on Sprint's Boost Mobile youth brand, claims 100,000 users. And anyone with a Windows Mobile device, like the Samsung BlackJack and Palm Treo, and $30 can download software from gpsgate.com that works in much the same way.

If cyberstalking your friends isn't your bag, you can still use your phone's GPS genius to find businesses or get driving directions on the fly. Sure, this option was already available on some phones without GPS, but it worked so poorly that hardly anyone ever used it. Now the $200 Verizon enV, a smartphone released in January, shows your position on a map and suggests everything from dry cleaners to plumbers nearby. Other cool offerings include the Dash Express, a $700 portable car navigation system on sale this spring with Yahoo!'s Go! local search on it, and the iRiver W10 from ReignCom, which combines an Internet phone, MP3 player and personal navigator in an iPhone-size unit.

Nifty. But is there really a market for these GPS gizmos? After all, not everyone is willing to pay $100 a month to hound her friends. Free services, on the other hand, make money on advertising. But there's not much room for ads on a screen about as big as a Post-it. The mobile-phone ad market brought in just $200 million in 2006, according to the Yankee Group, vs. $16 billion for online ads. Nonetheless, ABI Research expects revenues for location-based services in North America to spiral from less than $1 billion last year to more than $13 billion by 2011, partly because of the cheap GPS chips and free Google maps that power some devices.


Stephen Lee, 23, is already sold. He says his Helio's Buddy Beacon came in handy one night when his roommate went out. "I saw that she was at Wendy's, and I just texted her to pick up a couple of 99¢ crispy-chicken sandwiches," says the graduate student in Chattanooga, Tenn. "I really use it to show other people that it's cool and they should get one." So far he has convinced his roommate, his girlfriend and his best friend. Well, it's a start.

Catching Evolution on the Run

3-D x-ray videos of species in motion will help scientists understand how they evolved

Scientists at Brown University are developing an imaging technology that would capture the movement of bones and muscles of animals in high-speed 3-D videos. The technology, which has been developed previously in orthopedics to study joints in humans, will be used to study the evolution of movement and anatomy in species of fish, mammals, and birds to shed light on, for example, how birds developed flight. It could also help researchers better understand movement disorders in humans.

The lack of good imaging systems has been a major obstacle for people studying movement, says Rebecca German, a biologist at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. "When you study any kind of movement, it happens in three dimensions," she says. "When you're limited to looking at it in two dimensions, you're only getting part of the story."

Scientists have previously developed high-speed, 3-D, x-ray video systems to study the human knee and other joints, particularly after injuries or surgery. But these technologies have been used only in a limited number of clinics for specific medical applications. The Brown team, led by biologist Elizabeth Brainerd, plans to develop a similar technology for evolutionary biologists that is flexible enough to analyze different animals as they walk, swim, fly, or jump.

The approach combines two imaging technologies: computed tomography, or CT, which uses a series of x-rays taken at different orientations to reconstruct a 3-D image of the bone and tissue inside the body; and x-ray video, or cinefluouroscopy, which is able to capture events as they happen in real time, but only in two dimensions. CT is used routinely in research and in medical practice, but it is a time-intensive process and produces only static images. X-ray video is frequently used by scientists studying movement.

To image a movement such as a pig walking, the researchers first create a 3-D model of the animal's anatomy using CT. Then they use two separate x-ray cameras to image the pig in motion from different angles. A computer matches the information from the CT model to the information in the 2-D videos to reconstruct a moving image in three dimensions. The Brown biologists have experimented with putting the two technologies together manually. Now, working with computer scientists, bioengineers, and orthopedic experts, they plan to create software to automatically align the data faster and with better accuracy to produce videos with a speed of up to 1,000 frames per second. The biologists hope to have a product that can be widely distributed to other scientists in about three years. According to German, such a technology will be a major leap forward for scientists investigating movement and "will open up whole new areas of research.”

Evolutionary biologists focus on movement as a way to understand why different anatomical features evolved. Studying skeletal motion is particularly important since bones in the fossil record are one of the main sources of information about the past. "To determine how those extinct animals might have moved, we need a very precise understanding of how living animals move," says Brainerd.

One of the biggest puzzles for evolutionary biologists is understanding how a complex structure like a bird's wing evolved. Wings would have appeared gradually, so they must have had some usefulness long before they could function in flight. "What's the use of half a wing?" asks Brainerd. One recent observation, she says, is that birds tend to flap their wings when they run uphill. A current theory, which her team plans to investigate, is that wings provide a downward force when a bird is running up a hill or a tree to avoid a predator. That gives its feet better traction, much as the spoiler on a sports car helps the wheels grip the road. By understanding how a bird's shoulder joint behaves as it runs uphill flapping its wings, the team can then search the fossil record for clues that early birds made similar movements.

The technology could also have medical applications. For instance, German studies the evolution and mechanics of chewing and swallowing, which are hindered in people who have had strokes or who have nerve damage or certain diseases. "When the tongue moves food in the mouth while chewing or swallowing, it's an asymmetrical movement," she says. The type of 3-D x-ray image being developed at Brown would give the kind of complete picture not yet possible with other methods.

Fourth Generation (4G) wireless communications

1. What is fourth generation (4G) mobile?
At present the download speed for mobile internet connections in Japan are between 9.6 kbit/s for 2G cellular, up to 128 kbit/s for PHS, typically 200 kbit/s (nominally 384 kbps) for DoCoMo and Vodafone 3G cellular, and 2.4 Mbps for KDDI/AU CDMA2000-1x-WIN service. However, in actual use the data rates are usually slower, especially in crowded areas, or when the network is "congested". 4G mobile data transmission rates are planned to be up to 20 megabits per second.

Read more about the two waves of 3G introduction in Japan: our 3G FAQ (html) and our 3G report (pdf-file for download). In our 3G report you will find a lot of market data for Japans 3G market (20 million 3G subscribers in Japan in July 2004), which will give you a good idea about what 4G might look like in the future.

2. What is DoCoMo's MOTO-Media?
NTT-DoCoMo and Hewlett-Packard have announced that the two companies are jointly developing technologies for 4G wireless communications. They have named the technology platform: MOTO-Media.

3. When will 4G (broadband) mobile communications being introduced in Japan?
Initially DoCoMo planned to introduce 4G services around 2010. Recently DoCoMo announced plans to introduce 4G services from 2006, i.e. four years earlier than previously planned.

4. What will the data rates be for 4G (broadband mobile) in Japan?
At present (2G) imode data rates in Japan are up to 9.6 kbit/sec, but usually a lot slower, and 28.2kbps for 504i, 505i, 506i handsets (since May 2002). For 3G (FOMA) data rates are at present around 200kbps (download) and 64kbps (upload) and will in the future be upgraded to 10 Mbit/sec. KDDI/AU offers 2.4 Mbit/s since December 2003. For 4G data rates up to 20 Megabytes per second are planned. This is about 2000 times faster than present (year 2001) mobile data rates, and about 10 times faster than top transmission rates planned in the final build out of 3G broadband mobile. It is about 10-20 times faster than standard ASDL services, which are being introduced for internet connections over traditional copper cables at this time (2001).

5. What type of services will 4G allow?
Of course it is impossible to predict technology developments and the evolution of culture and customer needs. 4G in principle will allow high-quality smooth video transmission.

6. Is video really a killer application for 3G and 4G?
Usage data in Japan do not show that video telephony is a real killer application for 3G. However, this may change if quality and market penetration improves or different marketing models are found. We believe however that music is a killer application - compare for example the success of iPod. At the moment (3G) only very short music clips can be downloaded. 4G is likely to enable the download of full length songs or music pieces which may change the market response dramatically. Music rights management will be a major issue to solve.
