SCIP04 CD now part of conference registration.
by Michael Reed
SCIP04 features a new and improved way to keep track of all its conference sessions -- all attendees will receive a CD with a complete set of PowerPoint presentations from the session speakers (excluding the workshop, keynoters and special event). This CD, available at the conference, will replace the white paper center handouts of the past and will offer a lightweight and ecologically correct way to record the entire conference for your future use. The PowerPoint presentations will also be available online before the conference, but won’t it be nice to know that with your registration, you will receive this valuable CD to use and keep for years to come? For further information, please contact Michael Reed.

When will machines replace analysts?
by Philip Annibale
Artificial intelligence (AI) is evolving and expanding at such a rapid pace that machines could replace the daily tasks performed by analysts by the year 2030. You may be thinking to yourself, “Machines will never perform my job because of the many unique tasks I complete everyday.” This notion, however, is gradually becoming obsolete.
