Ballroom C1 & C2
Identity and Control on the Net
Can you take it with you? As the online world
becomes ubiquitous, people and things need a way to establish
their identity worldwide. But who sets the standards,
and who controls the data? Esther Dyson, chairman of EDventure
Holdings and former chairman of ICANN (the Internet Corporation
for Assigned Names and Numbers) considers the implications
in a wide-ranging discussion that invites audience participation.
Immediately before the keynote address, ACM SIGGRAPH presents
the Significant New Researcher Award to Steven Gortler,
Harvard University; Computer Graphics Achievement Award
to David Kirk, NVIDIA Corporation; and the Outstanding
Service Award for extraordinary service to ACM SIGGRAPH
by a volunteer to Bertram Herzog, Fraunhofer Center for
Research in Computer Graphics in Providence, Rhode Island.
