While the 2009-2010 academic year at Wright State University has been our "Year of Innovation," a highlight has been the creation of the Ohio Centers of Excellence at Wright State.

On Monday, April 12, beginning at 9 a.m. in the Endeavour Room of the Student Union, we will host a special event to introduce the Ohio Center of Excellence in Knowledge-Enabled Computing at Wright State (Kno.e.sis). You're invited to join us for the presentation. A continental breakfast is planned for 8:30 a.m.

Kno.e.sis Director Amit Sheth, Ph.D., is one of the most cited computer scientists in the world and the LexisNexis Ohio Eminent Scholar at Wright State, a position funded by the Ohio Third Frontier. Dr. Sheth and his colleagues from four colleges will demonstrate how their multidisciplinary center uses the latest technology in semantic computing and Web 3.0.

Guest experts from Hewlett-Packard, IBM, LexisNexis, and other corporations will be available for a question-and-answer session following the demonstration.

Please RSVP by Wednesday, April 7, via email to jane.schelb@wright.edu, or by calling (937) 775-5515.

Best regards,

David R. Hopkins
President, Wright State University
