<mask> (February 7, 1874 Ithaca, New York – August 22, 1927 Unadilla, New York) was an American ornithologist, illustrator and artist who set the rigorous and current-day standards for ornithological art and naturalist depiction and is considered one of the most prolific American bird artists, second only to his guiding professional predecessor John James Audubon. Biography

Early life
<mask> was born in Ithaca, New York, and was the son of Puerto Rican astronomer and civil engineer <mask> and <mask>. His father was the founding professor of the School of Civil Engineering at Cornell University, and for many years  served as the dean of the college. Estevan named his son after the Swiss-born American naturalist <mask>, who had died the year before. <mask>'s mother, born in Troy, New York, was of Dutch ancestry. Young <mask> became interested in birds at a very early age, securing birds with a slingshot and examining them carefully. As a child, he had been influenced by John James Audubon's The Birds of America.At the age of fourteen, he made his first painting of a bird, a male red crossbill, from life. He learned to keep careful records of the appearance, habits and voices of birds. In 1890, he sent a specimen that he collected to the Smithsonian and received stellar praise and glowing comments on its rarity and accuracy and in 1891, at the young age of 17, <mask> became the youngest member ever named when he was inducted as Associate Member of the American Ornithologists' Union. He was encouraged by his father's colleagues at Cornell including Burt G. Wilder and Liberty H. Bailey. In June 1892, he accompanied his parents to Europe and sketched birds and animals at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris. In September, he joined the Institute of Keller, a school in Zurich, staying on for a year. Cornell University
Returning to America, he enrolled in Cornell in 1893, choosing to study architecture.His older brother James, however shared in a memoir that <mask> lacked a passion for geometry and mathematics and would often fall asleep when James tried to coach him. During one college lecture, <mask> climbed out a classroom window and sat completely still in a tree to investigate a strange bird call he had never heard before. His interest in singing led him to join the Cornell University Glee Club. In 1894, the Glee Club went on a tour to Washington, D.C., where another member of the club suggested that <mask> meet his uncle Elliott Coues, who was also keenly interested in birds. This meeting was a turning point, as Coues recognized <mask>' talent and spread the word about his already distinguished work. In 1895 Coues exhibited fifty of the works of Fuertes at the Congress of the American Ornithologists' Union at Washington, a meeting that <mask> was unable to attend. He received the first of his many commissions for illustrating birds while still an undergraduate.At Cornell, he was elected to the Sphinx Head Society, the oldest senior honor society at the University. He was also a member of Alpha Delta Phi which he joined having been lifelong friends with famed horticulturalist and naturalist Theodore Luqueer Mead, one of his father's former students and member of the fraternity. In 1896, Coues invited Fuertes to attend the Ornithological Congress at Cambridge in England. Career and personal life

After graduating from Cornell in 1897 he became an apprentice to the painter Abbott H. Thayer. In 1898, he made his first expedition, with Thayer and his son Gerald, to Florida. In 1899, <mask> accompanied E. H. Harriman on his famous exploration of the Alaska coastline, the Harriman Alaska Expedition. Fuertes later traveled across much of the United States and to many countries in pursuit of birds, including the Bahamas, Jamaica, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, and Ethiopia.Fuertes collaborated with Frank Chapman, curator of the American Museum of Natural History, on many assignments including field research, background dioramas at the museum, and book illustrations. While on a collecting expedition with Chapman in Mexico, Fuertes discovered a species of oriole. Chapman named it Icterus fuertesi, commonly called <mask>'s oriole after his friend. In 1904 <mask> married Margaret F. Sumner and they had a son, <mask>, and a daughter, Mary. Fuertes regularly lectured on ornithology at Cornell University beginning in 1923. Fuertes was an able imitator of bird song and even made a trial recording for a Victor record in 1913. In 1926–27 he participated in the Field Museum's Abyssinian Expedition led by Wilfred Hudson Osgood.He produced some of his most exquisite bird and mammal watercolors as a result of this trip. Death
Upon his return from Ethiopia, <mask> visited Frank Chapman at Tannersville, New York. Returning from the meeting, his car was hit by a train at a railroad crossing near Unadilla, New York, and he was killed. A load of hay had concealed the oncoming train. His wife was seriously injured but survived. By a twist of fate, the paintings he carried all survived undamaged. This extraordinary and rare collection was later purchased from Mrs. Fuertes by C. Suydam Cutting.Fuertes is buried at Lake View Cemetery in Ithaca, New York. Memorials and legacy

Fuertes is commemorated by two species. One is a species named by his colleague Frank Chapman as Icterus fuertesi, although it is now considered a subspecies of the orchard oriole. The other, Fuertes's parrot, or Hapalopsittaca fuertesi, was rediscovered in 2002 after 91 years of presumed extinction. In 1927, the Boy Scouts of America made Fuertes an Honorary Scout, a new category of Scout created that same year. This distinction was given to "American citizens whose achievements in outdoor activity, exploration and worthwhile adventure are of such an exceptional character as to capture the imagination of boys...". The other eighteen who were awarded this distinction were: Roy Chapman Andrews; Robert Bartlett; Frederick Russell Burnham; Richard E. Byrd; George Kruck Cherrie; James L. Clark; Merian C. Cooper; Lincoln Ellsworth; George Bird Grinnell; Charles A. Lindbergh; Donald Baxter MacMillan; Clifford H. Pope; George Palmer Putnam; Kermit Roosevelt; Carl Rungius; Stewart Edward White; Orville Wright.Apart from mentoring George Miksch Sutton, Fuertes influenced many later wildlife artists including Roger Tory Peterson, Jörg Kühn and Conrad Roland. The Wilson Ornithological Society established the Louis Agassiz Fuertes Award in 1947. Fuertes also painted dozens of mammal portraits for The National Geographic Magazine in 1916 and 1918, and inspired the Society to hire an artist of their own, Walter A. Weber. Many of <mask>' paintings still remain popular and in very high demand today. In particular, a 1924 oil painting, Wild Turkey, sold for $86,250 at a January 2012 auction in New York and his other works command even higher prices to private collectors around the world. Fuertes' love of animals and landscapes comes through in his paintings; there is a notable vivacity and excitement present in his work that has created long-term value. Selected works

Fuertes' earliest commissions included 25 large decorative panels for F. F. Brewster of New Haven, Connecticut.This was followed by some murals at the Flamingo Hotel, of Miami, Florida and some paintings for the New York Zoological Society. He was much sought after later, illustrating books, plates for journals and magazine. Working with impressions from the field and from freshly collected specimens, <mask>' works are considered some of the most accurate and natural depictions of birds. He had an ability to capture the bird in action and reproduce illustrations from a mental image. Apart from illustrations, he wrote some full length articles including one on falconry in the National Geographic and another on dogs. The cover of the journal Auk published by the American Ornithologists' Union was designed by Fuertes. Some of the books that he illustrated include:

<mask> (December 19, 1874 – March 28, 1965) was the author of numerous theological writings and a Bible publisher. Knoch founded the Concordant Publishing Concern and translated the Concordant Version of the Bible. Life
Knoch was raised in a German-speaking part of Missouri, born in St. Louis, Missouri as the son of <mask>, who had emigrated from Germany to the United States . One of his sisters, Addie, remained in Germany. Knoch grew up bilingually: in his parents' house only German was spoken; Knoch learned English only at school. In 1885 the family moved to Los Angeles, where he completed high school in 1893. One of the teachers apparently told him that he had literary talent, and he should study great literature such as Shakespeare or the Bible.Since works by Shakespeare were not available, the young Knoch read in the family Bible. While at school, and thereafter (a total of around 20 years), he worked as a printer in the company of his brother. As part of a job, he came with a group, the "Plymouth Brethren", part of the Brethren Movement. Tutor McClure led <mask> in this group. He concurred with the teachings and was baptized. Because of his interest in languages, in 1900 at the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, he studied "Ancient Greek, the NT in the proto-reading". In 1901 Knoch compared his translation output with the new American Standard Revised Version; he was disappointed.During this time he began developing a form of his concordant method of Bible translation. In the "Plymouth Brethren" he met Olive Hyde, another religious teacher; they married in April 1903. Knoch began to give Greek courses at the local YMCA. He discovered what he believed were additional mistakes in traditional translations and increasingly taught from the Greek to avoid teaching that of which he no longer was totally convinced. He began applying his systematic program with Biblical Greek to his writing work. On November 5, 1907, his son Ernest Oliver was born. Dr. Ethelbert William Bullinger, publisher of the magazine in England, "Things to Come", in 1906 published a few articles from Knoch.Russian Vladimir Gelesnoff, living in the United States, read the articles and contacted <mask>. Together they published the magazine "Grace and Glory", but for only eight issues in 1909. It appeared some time later they made some changes and moved to the title known today as "Unsearchable Riches", particularly regarding dispensationalism and detailed word studies. Knoch concentrated on the Greek New Testament, while Gelesnoff processed the Hebrew Old Testament. Knoch was subsequently published in various books and writings. Knoch's methodology used thousands of index cards on which all occurrences of each Greek word were listed. After his brother had sold the print shop, Knoch worked there for some years, until the printer began accepting print jobs related to war.Knoch refused such assignments and, together with another employee (Herman Vogel), was dismissed until a contract to print tickets was purchased. Knoch worked there a few months until he decided to work full-time for his religious beliefs. Bird later printed the magazine Unsearchable Riches and the Bible Concordant Version, as is still the case. Knoch was primarily a compiler, since the Bible is based on Greek-designated experts such as George L. Rogers (Almont, Michigan), Edward H. Clayton (Sheffield, England) and Earl Taber and many others. The Bible was first released in several parts, starting in 1919 with Revelation; the complete Concordant Translation of the New Testament was published in 1926. Later editions were published in 1944 and 1966, reflecting corrections by contributors such as Alexander Thomson. In 1926, <mask>'s wife died.In 1930, <mask> traveled to Germany to visit some German evangelists with whom he maintained contact. At certain events, translations of his articles were read. On 25 May 1937, he married Sigrid Charlotte Marie Gräfin von Kanitz (born 1876 in Germany) in Potsdam. Sigrid <mask> translated the next article of her husband for the German Unsearchable Riches. Now in the United States, they decided to return to Germany to develop the German version of the Concordant Translation, at the house of Baroness Wally Bissingen; it was released in 1939 in Berlin. In 1939, the American government urged U.S. nationals to return to the United States, including <mask>, because of the impending war. According to its records, Knoch was under observation by the FBI during the Second World War because of his marriage to a German and his frequent contacts with Germany (Act no.100-20677; Verdict: safe). On March 28, 1965 AE <mask>'s work on the Concordant Bible translation led to the development of his theological beliefs. He came to the conclusion that some doctrines, which his church had required him to believe, resulted conspicuously from inaccurate or incorrect translations of the Bible, and Knoch discarded them. These include, for example, teaching about Hell. Though in a revised form, but still in principle, he retained the strong dispensationalism of the Brethren Movement (developed by Darby), and the two different gospels for the Jews and the Nations. The views of Ethelbert William Bullinger may also have influenced him.<mask> was put off by the doctrine of the Trinity, saying that its sense of Divinity of Jesus Christ as being equal with God the Father is not biblical. <mask>'s views on what happens to a person at death are different from the teachings of most other Christians: "Unless our Lord comes, the souls of all believers will return to hades, as their spirits return to God, and the bodies return to the soil. Death is still a return. Our bodies came from the soil and may return thither. Our spirits came from God and must return to Him. Our souls came from hades ("hell!") and they cannot possibly return elsewhere!"Works

<mask> (; AD 101–177) was an Athenian rhetorician and philanthropic magnate, as well as a Roman senator. Counted as "one of the best-known figures of the Antonine Period", he taught rhetoric to the Roman emperors Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus, and was advanced to the consulship in 143. His full name as a Roman citizen was <mask>. According to Philostratus, in possession of the best education that money can buy, he was a notable proponent of the Second Sophistic. Having gone through the cursus honorum of civil posts he demonstrated a talent for civil engineering, especially the design and construction of water supply systems. The Nymphaeum at Olympia was one of his dearest projects. However, he never lost sight of philosophy and rhetoric, becoming a teacher himself.One of his students was the young Marcus Aurelius, last of the good emperors. M.I. Finley described <mask> <mask> as "patron of the arts and letters (and himself a writer and scholar of importance), public benefactor on an imperial scale, not only in Athens but elsewhere in Greece and Asia Minor, holder of many important posts, friend and kinsman of emperors." Ancestry and family
<mask> <mask> was a Greek of Athenian descent. His ancestry could be traced to the Athenian noblewoman Elpinice, a half-sister of the statesman Cimon and daughter of Miltiades. He claimed lineage from a series of mythic Greek kings: Theseus, Cecrops, and Aeacus, as well as the god Zeus. He had an ancestor four generations removed from him called Polycharmus, who may have been the Archon of Athens of that name from 9/8 BC–22/23.His family bore the Roman family name Claudius. There is a possibility that a paternal ancestor of his received Roman citizenship from an unknown member of the Claudian gens. <mask> <mask> was born to a distinguished and very rich family of consular rank. His parents were a Roman Senator of Greek descent, Tiberius Claudius <mask> <mask>, and the wealthy heiress Vibullia Alcia Agrippina. He had a brother named Tiberius Claudius <mask> Herodianus and a sister named Claudia Tisamenis. His maternal grandparents were Claudia Alcia and Lucius Vibullius Rufus, while his paternal grandfather was Hipparchus. His parents were related as uncle and niece.His maternal grandmother and his father were sister and brother. His maternal uncle Lucius Vibullius Hipparchus was an Archon of Athens in the years 99–100 and his maternal cousin, Publius Aelius Vibullius Rufus, was an Archon of Athens between 143–144. Life

<mask> <mask> was born in Marathon, Greece, and spent his childhood years between Greece and Italy. According to Juvenal he received an education in rhetoric and philosophy from many of the best teachers from both Greek and Roman culture. Throughout his life, however, <mask> <mask> remained entirely Greek in his cultural outlook. He was a student of Favorinus, and inherited Favorinus' library. Like Favorius, he was a harsh critic of Stoicism.these disciplines of the cult of the unemotional, who want to be considered calm, brave, and steadfast because they show neither desire nor grief, neither anger nor pleasure, cut out the more active emotions of the spirit and grow old in a torpor, a sluggish, enervated life. In 125, Emperor Hadrian appointed him prefect of the free cities in the Roman province of Asia. He later returned to Athens, where he became famous as a teacher. In the year 140, <mask> <mask> was elected and served as an Archon of Athens. Later in 140, the Emperor Antoninus Pius invited him to Rome from Athens to educate his two adopted sons, the future Emperors Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus. Sometime after, he was betrothed to Aspasia Annia Regilla, a wealthy aristocrat, who was related to the wife of Antoninus Pius, Faustina the Elder. When Regilla and <mask> <mask> married, she was 14 years old and he was 40.As <mask> <mask> was in favor with the Emperor, as a mark of his friendship Antoninus Pius appointed him Consul in 143. <mask> <mask> and Regilla controlled a large tract around the Third Mile of the Appian Way outside Rome, which was known as the "Triopio" (from Triopas, King of Thessaly). For his remaining years he travelled between Greece and Italy. Some time after his consulship, he returned to Greece permanently with his wife and their children. <mask> <mask> was the teacher of three notable students: Achilles, Memnon and Polydeuces (Polydeukes). "The aged <mask> <mask> in a public paroxysm of despair at the death of his perhaps eromenos Polydeukes, commissioned games, inscriptions and sculptures on a lavish scale and then died, inconsolable, shortly afterwards." <mask> <mask> had a distinguished reputation for his literary work, most of which is now lost, and was a philanthropist and patron of public works.He funded a number of building projects, including:
 The Panathenaic Stadium – Athens
 Odeon – Athens; built to honor the memory of his wife
 A theater at Corinth
 A stadium at Delphi
 The baths at Thermopylae
 An aqueduct at Canusium in Italy
 An aqueduct at Alexandria Troas
 A nymphaeum (monumental fountain) with his wife at Olympia
 various benefactions to the peoples of  Thessaly, Epirus Euboea, Boeotia and Peloponnesus

He also contemplated cutting a canal through the Isthmus of Corinth, but was deterred from carrying out the plan because the same thing had been unsuccessfully attempted before by the emperor Nero. Throughout his life, <mask> <mask> had a stormy relationship with the citizens of Athens, but before he died he was reconciled with them. When he died, the citizens of Athens gave him an honored burial, his funeral taking place in the Panathinaiko Stadium in Athens, which he had commissioned. Children
Regilla bore <mask> <mask> six children, of whom three survived to adulthood. Their children were:

 Son, Claudius – born and died in 141
 Daughter, Elpinice – born as Appia Annia Claudia Atilia Regilla Elpinice Agrippina Atria Polla, 142–165
 Daughter, Athenais (Marcia Annia Claudia Alcia Athenais Gavidia Latiaria), married Lucius Vibullius Rufus. They had a son, Lucius Vibullius Hipparchus, the only recorded grandchild of <mask> <mask>. Son, <mask> Bradua – born in 145 as Tiberius Claudius Marcus Appius Atilius Bradua Regillus Atticus
 Son, Regillus – born as Tiberius Claudius Herodes Lucius Vibullius Regillus, 150–155
 Unnamed child who died with Regilla or died even perhaps three months later in 160

After Regilla died in 160, Herodes Atticus never married again.When he died in 177, his son <mask> Bradua and his grandchildren survived him. Sometime after his wife's death, he adopted his cousin's first grandson Lucius Vibullius Claudius <mask> as his son. Legacy
<mask> <mask> and his wife Regilla, from the 2nd century until the present, have been considered great benefactors in Greece, in particular in Athens. The couple are commemorated in Herodou Attikou Street and Rigillis Street and Square, in downtown Athens. In Rome, their names are also recorded on modern streets, in the Quarto Miglio suburb close to the area of the Triopio. References

In 1830, R.M.T.<mask> owned 72 enslaved people (44 males and 26 females), and his household consisted of two white males (presumably him and an overseer). A decade later, following his marriage, R. M. T<mask>'s household included himself, two young white males (presumably one his eldest son) and five white females, as well as 83 slaves. In 1850, R. M.

In the 1860 U.S. Federal census for Essex County, Virginia, U.S. Senator <mask> owned real estate worth $80,890 and personal property (including slaves) worth $92,800. The federal lists of enslaved persona owned by R. M. T. <mask> nearly fill the majority of two pages (more than 120 persons). Political career
In 1830, <mask> was admitted to the Virginia bar.In 1834, he was elected to represent Essex County in the Virginia House of Delegates, succeeding Richard Baylor. R. M. T. <mask> won re-election in 1834 and 1836, but resigned upon winning election to the U.S. Congress as discussed next. In 1836, <mask> was elected U.S. Representative as a States Rights Whig. He was re-elected in 1838, and became Speaker of the United States House of Representatives – the youngest person ever to hold that office. He was re-elected again in 1840,  but was not chosen Speaker. In 1842 he was defeated for re-election, but returned in 1844. <mask> favored annexing Texas and compromise on the Oregon question (opposing the Wilmot Proviso), and led efforts to retrocede the City of Alexandria back to Virginia (removing it from the District of Columbia).After losing the 1842 election, <mask> changed parties, becoming a Democrat. In 1845, he again took the oath of office as an elected Congressman, and supported the Tariff of 1846. In 1846, the Virginia General Assembly elected <mask> U.S. Senator. He assumed office in 1847 and won re-election in 1852 and 1858. <mask> continued to support slavery and its extension: favoring extending the Missouri Compromise line to the Pacific Ocean, opposing abolishing the slave trade in the District of Columbia as well as any interference with its operation in any state or territory, and supported the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. Senator <mask> delivered an address in Richmond supporting states’ rights in 1852, and in the 1857-58 Congressional session advocated admitting Kansas under the pro-slavery Lecompton constitution.In the Senate, <mask> became chairman of the Committee on Finance in 1850. He is credited with bringing about a reduction of the quantity of silver in small silver denominations, helping push forward Senate Bill No. 271 which would eventually become the Coinage Act of 1853. <mask> also drafted and sponsored the Tariff of 1857 (which lowered duties) and creation of the bonded-warehouse system, although federal revenues were thereby reduced. He also advocated civil service reform. In January 1860, <mask> delivered a speech in favor of slavery and the right of slaveholders to carry their slaves into the territories. At the first session of the 1860 Democratic National Convention in Charleston, South Carolina, <mask> was a contender for the presidential nomination, but received little support except from the Virginia delegation.On seven of the first eight ballots, he was a very distant second to the leader, Stephen A. Douglas, and was third on the remaining 42 ballots. When the convention reconvened in Baltimore, most Southerners withdrew, including <mask>, and Douglas won the party's nomination. <mask> did not regard Lincoln's election as being of itself sufficient cause for secession. On January 11, 1861, he proposed an elaborate but impracticable scheme to adjust differences between the North and the South. When this and several other similar efforts failed, <mask> quietly urged his own state to pass the ordinance of secession in April 1861. He was expelled from the Senate for supporting secession. One scheme proposed him as president of the new Confederate government, with fellow former U.S.Senator Jefferson Davis as commander of the Confederate States Army.

Seward at the Hampton Roads Conference. However, after Lincoln refused to acknowledge the Confederacy's independence, Senator <mask> chaired a war meeting in Richmond where Confederates vowed they would never lay down their arms before achieving independence. Following Lee's surrender, President Lincoln summoned <mask> to confer regarding Virginia's restoration to the Union. Many of <mask>'s Garnett relatives became Confederate military officers, and his cousin <mask> Garnett (1808-1880) commanded the Home Guard in Essex County. <mask>'s first cousins (through his mother) were career U.S. Army officers who became Confederate generals <mask>. Garnett and Richard B. Garnett, both of whom died in the conflict. His son James D<mask> enlisted as a private in Company F, 9th Virginia Cavalry, which was organized in December 1861 with Lt. Garnett among its officers, and which was initially assigned to protect the Rappahannock River as well as the Rappahannock river port cities of Falmouth and Fredericksburg.James D<mask> served only months before being furloughed on account of sickness in July 1862, but did participate in raids under Gen. J.E.B. Stuart and Capt. William Latane (who became a Confederate martyr as the only casualty of Stuart's vaunted ride around Union troops) and in General Lee's Seven Day offensive which ended the Union Peninsular Campaign. While his eldest son R.M.T<mask> Jr. died early in the war of disease, his second son, <mask><mask>, served as a staff officer in the Army of Northern Virginia and as an engineer. When some suggested late in the war that their slaves could be armed and serve in the Confederate Army to win their freedom, Senator R.M.T<mask> vehemently opposed the proposal with a long speech against it, but after the Virginia legislature passed a resolution to the contrary, voted as instructed but with an emphatic protest.Later years

In 1867, President Andrew Johnson pardoned <mask> for his activities supporting the Confederate States. He unsuccessfully ran to become U.S. Senator again in 1874, to succeed Unionist Republican John F. Lewis. However, Confederate veteran (and war hero) <mask>. Withers of the Conservative Party won.

Andrew File System

Satya was a principal architect and implementer of the Andrew File System (AFS), the technical forerunner of modern cloud-based storage systems. AFS has been continuously deployed at CMU since 1986, at a scale of many thousands of users. From its conception in 1983 as the unifying campus-wide IT infrastructure for CMU, AFS evolved through versions AFS-1, AFS-2 and AFS-3. In mid-1989, AFS-3 was commercialized by Transarc Corporation and its evolution continued outside CMU. Transarc was acquired by IBM, and AFS became an IBM product for a number of years. In 2000, IBM released the code to the open source community as OpenAFS.Since its release as OpenAFS, the system has continued to be used in many enterprises all over the world. In the academic and research lab community, OpenAFS is in use at more than 30 sites in the United States (including CMU, MIT, and Stanford) and dozens of sites in Europe, New Zealand, and South Korea. Many global companies have used OpenAFS including Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Qualcomm, IBM, United Airlines, Pfizer, Hitachi, InfoPrint, and Pictage. Over a 30-year period, AFS has been a seminal influence on academic research and commercial practice in distributed data storage systems for unstructured data. Its approach to native file system emulation, scalable file caching, access-control based security, and scalable system administration have proved to be of enduring value in enterprise-scale information sharing. The design principles that were initially discovered and validated in the creation and evolution of AFS have influenced virtually all modern commercial distributed file systems, including Microsoft DFS, Google File System, Lustre File System, Ceph, and NetApp ONTAP. In addition, AFS inspired the creation of DropBox whose founders used AFS as part of Project Athena at MIT.It also inspired the creation of Maginatics, a startup company advised by Satya that provides cloud-sourced network-attached storage for distributed environments. The NFS v4 network file system protocol standard has been extensively informed by the lessons of AFS. In 2016, AFS was honored with the prestigious ACM Software System Award. Earlier, ACM recognized the significance of AFS by inducting a key paper on it to the ACM SIGOPS Hall of Fame. The AFS papers in 1985 and 1987 also received Outstanding Paper awards at the ACM Symposium on Operating System Principles. Coda File System

In 1987, Satya began work on the Coda File System to address a fundamental shortcoming of AFS-like systems. Extensive first-hand experience with the AFS deployment at CMU showed that users are severely impacted by server and network failures.This vulnerability is not just hypothetical, but indeed a fact of life in real-world deployments. Once users become critically dependent on files cached from servers, a server or network failure renders these files inaccessible and leaves clients crippled for the duration of the failure. In a large enough system, unplanned outages of servers and network segments are practically impossible to avoid. Today's enthusiastic embrace of cloud computing rekindles many of these concerns because of increased dependence on centralized resources, The goal of the Coda project was to preserve the many strengths of AFS, while reducing its vulnerability to failures. Over 30+ years, research on Coda has proved to be highly fruitful in creating new insights and mechanisms for failure-resilient, scalable and secure read-write access to shared information by mobile and static users over wireless and wired networks. Coda was the first system to show how server replication could be combined with client caching to achieve good performance and high availability. Coda invented the concept of "disconnected operation", in which cached state on clients is used to mask network and server failures.Coda also demonstrated bandwidth-adaptive weakly-connected operation over networks with low bandwidth, high latency or frequent failures. Coda's use of optimistic replication, trading consistency for availability, was controversial when introduced. Today, it is a standard practice in all data storage systems for mobile environments. Coda also pioneered the concept of translucent caching, which balances the full transparency of classic caching with the user visibility needed to achieve a good user experience on bandwidth-challenged networks. The Coda concepts of hoarding, reintegration and application-specific conflict resolution are found in the cloud sync capabilities of virtually all mobile devices today. Key ideas from Coda were incorporated by Microsoft into the IntelliMirror component of Windows 2000 and the Cached Exchange Mode of Outlook 2003. Papers relating to Coda received Outstanding Paper awards at the 1991 and 1993 ACM Symposium on Operating System Principles.In 1999, Coda received the LinuxWorld Editor's Choice Award. A 2002 narrative retrospective, "The Evolution of Coda" traces its evolution and the lessons learned from it. Later, Coda's long-lasting impact was recognized with the ACM SIGOPS Hall of Fame Award in 2015 and the inaugural ACM SIGMOBILE Test-of-Time Award in 2016. Odyssey: Application-aware Adaptation for Mobile Applications

In the mid-1990s, Satya initiated the Odyssey project to explore how operating systems should be extended to support future mobile applications. While Coda supported mobility in an application-transparent manner, Odyssey explored the space of application-aware approaches to mobility. Wireless network bandwidth and energy (i.e., battery life) were two of the key resource challenges faced by mobile applications. Odyssey invented the concept of application-aware adaptation and showed how the system call interface to the Unix operating system could be extended to support this new class of mobile applications such as video delivery and speech recognition.Odyssey envisioned a collaborative partnership between the operating system and individual applications. In this partnership, the operating system monitors, controls and allocates scarce resources such as wireless network bandwidth and energy, while the individual applications negotiate with the operating system on their resource requirements and modify application behavior to offer the best user experience achievable under current resource conditions. The 1997 and 1999 Odyssey papers on application-aware adaptation and energy-aware adaptation in the ACM Symposium on Operating System Principles have proved to be highly influential. The concepts of multi-fidelity algorithms and predictive resource management that emerged from this work have also proved to be influential. Aura: Cloud Offload for IoT

In the late 1990s, Satya initiated the Aura Project in collaboration with CMU faculty colleagues David Garlan, Raj Reddy, Peter Steenkiste, Dan Siewiorek and Asim Smailagic. The challenge addressed by this effort was to reduce human distraction in mobile and pervasive computing environments, recognizing that human attention does not benefit from Moore's Law, while computing resources do. This leads directly to the notion of invisible computing, which parallels Mark Weiser's characterization of an ideal technology as one that disappears.The Aura vision proved to be an excellent driver of research in mobile and pervasive computing in areas such as cyber foraging, location-aware computing, energy-awareness, and task-level adaptation. In particular, the 1997 paper "Agile Application-Aware Adaptation for Mobile Computing" pioneered "cloud offload," in which mobile devices transmit processed sensor data to a cloud service for further analysis over a wireless network. A modern incarnation of this idea is speech recognition using Siri. Specifically, a user's speech is captured by a microphone, pre-processed, and then sent to a cloud service that converts speech to text. Satya continues to do IoT-related research. He retrospectively described the evolutionary path from his early work to today's cloud-based mobile and IoT systems in "A Brief History of Cloud Offload: A Personal Journey from Odyssey Through Cyber Foraging to Cloudlets.". Reflecting on the Aura vision and IoT implementation experience to date, Satya wrote an invited paper in 2001 entitled "Pervasive Computing: Vision and Challenges."This has proved to be his most widely cited work according to Google Scholar, and continues to receive well over 100 citations each year. The concepts discussed in this paper have directly inspired today's popular vision of an "Internet of Things (IoT)." In 2018, this visionary paper was recognized by the ACM SIGMOBILE Test-of-Time Award. Internet Suspend/Resume (ISR): Virtual Desktop

Building on Intel's newly available VT virtual machine (VM) technology in 2001, ISR represents an AFS-like capability for cloud-sourced VMs. Instead of just delivering files, ISR enables entire computing environments (including the operating system and all applications) to be delivered from the cloud with perfect fidelity through on-demand caching to the edges of the Internet. The June 2002 paper introducing the ISR concept was the first to articulate the concept of wide-area hands-free mobile computing with a "zero-pound laptop." The ISR concept has proved to be highly influential in the mobile computing research community, spawning related research efforts in industry and academia.A series of implementations (ISR-1, ISR-2, ISR-3, and OpenISR) and associated deployments of ISR at CMU have investigated the implementation trade-offs in this space and demonstrated the real-world viability of this technology. The ISR project inspired commercial software such as Citrix XenDesktop and Microsoft Remote Desktop Services, commonly known as Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). The VDI industry has since become a billion-dollar industry. Olive: Execution Fidelity for Software Archiving

The work on ISR inspired the Olive project, a collaboration between the computer science and digital library communities. One of the major challenges of digital archiving is the ability to preserve and accurately reproduce executable content across time periods of many decades (and eventually centuries). This problem also has analogs in industry. For example, a NASA space probe to the edge of the solar system may take 30 years to reach its destination; software maintenance over such an extended period requires precise re-creation of the probe's onboard software environment.By encapsulating the entire software environment in a VM (including, optionally, a software emulator for now-obsolete hardware), Olive preserves and dynamically reproduces the precise execution behavior of software. The Olive prototype demonstrated reliable archiving of software dating back to the early 1980s. The concept of execution fidelity, introduced by Olive, has proved to be highly influential in digital archiving. Diamond: Unindexed Search for High-dimensional Data

The Diamond project explored interactive search of complex data such as photographs, video, and medical images that have not been tagged or indexed a priori. For such unstructured and high-dimensional data, the classical approach of full-text indexing is not viable: in contrast to text, which is human-authored and one-dimensional, raw image data requires a feature extraction step prior to indexing. Unfortunately, the features to extract for a given search are not known a priori. Only through interactive trial and error, with partial results to guide his progress, can a user converge on the best choice of features for a specific search.To support this search workflow, the OpenDiamond platform provided a storage architecture for discard-based search that pipelines user control, feature extraction, and per-object indexing computation and result caching. As documented in a 2010 paper, the I/O workloads generated by Diamond searches differ significantly from well-understood indexing workloads such as Hadoop, with important implications for storage subsystems. The unique search capabilities of Diamond attracted significant interest in the medical and pharmaceutical research communities. Researchers in these communities collaborated in creating Diamond-based applications for domains such as radiology (breast cancer screening), pathology and dermatology (melanoma diagnosis), drug discovery (anomaly detection), and craniofacial genetics (cleft lip syndrome genetic screening). The work on Diamond and associated software spurred extensive collaboration between Satya's research group at CMU and Health Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh. The collaboration with pathologists led to the design and implementation of OpenSlide a vendor‐neutral open source library for digital pathology. OpenSlide is in use today by many academic and industrial organizations worldwide, including many research sites in the United States that are funded by the National Institutes of Health and companies such as HistoWiz.Elijah: Edge Computing
Satya pioneered edge computing with the 2009 publication of the paper "The Case for VM-based Cloudlets in Mobile Computing," and his ensuing research efforts in Project Elijah. This paper is now widely recognized as the founding manifesto of edge computing, and has proved to be highly influential in shaping thoughts and actions. It was written in close collaboration with Victor Bahl from Microsoft, Roy Want from Intel (now at Google), Ramon Caceres from AT&T (also at Google now), and Nigel Davies from Lancaster University. This paper introduced the concept of cloudlets, which are small data-centers located at the network edge. As a new computing tier between mobile devices and the cloud, they have powerful computational resources and excellent connectivity to mobile devices, typically just one wireless hop away. Their low latency and high bandwidth to mobile users and sensors make them ideal locations for offloading computation. A detailed account of the origin of the paper and the cloudlet concept is described in the 2014 retrospective, "A Brief History of Cloud Offload: A Personal Journey from Odyssey Through Cyber Foraging to Cloudlets."Edge computing has now become one of the hottest topics in industry and academia. It is particularly relevant to mobile and IoT use cases in which a significant amount of live sensor data needs to be intensively processed in real-time. Many applications in domains such as VR/AR, factory automation, and autonomous vehicles exhibit such workflow. For example, high-quality commercial VR headsets, such as Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, require tethering to a GPU-equipped desktop. Such tethering negatively impacts user experience. On the other hand, untethered devices sacrifice the quality of the virtual environment. Fundamentally, these latency-sensitive, resource-hungry, and bandwidth-intensive applications cannot run on mobile devices alone due to insufficient compute power, nor can they run in the cloud due to long network latency.Only edge computing can break this deadlock. The concepts of VM synthesis and VM handoff were conceived and demonstrated in Elijah, leading to the OpenStack++ reference implementation of cloudlet software infrastructure. The Open Edge Computing Initiative is a collection of companies working closely with CMU to build an open ecosystem for edge computing. Gabriel: Wearable Cognitive Assistance
In 2004, Satya wrote the thought piece "Augmenting Cognition" that imagined a world in which human receive useful real-time guidance on everyday tasks from wearable devices whose capabilities are amplified by nearby compute servers. A decade later, with the emergence of edge computing and the commercial availability of wearable devices such as Google Glass and Microsoft Hololens, the prerequisites to realize this vision were at hand. Satya initiated Project Gabriel to explore this new genre of applications, which combine the look and feel of augmented reality (AR) with algorithms associated with artificial intelligence (AI). The 2014 paper "Towards Wearable Cognitive Assistance" describes the Gabriel platform for such application.Many applications (such as one to assemble an IKEA Table Lamp) have been built on the Gabriel platform, and videos of them are available here. In these applications, a user wears a head-mounted smart glasses that continuously captures actions and surroundings from a first-person viewpoint. In real-time, the video stream is transmitted to a cloudlet and analyzed to identify the state of the assembly. Audiovisual instructions are then generated to demonstrate a subsequent procedure or to alert and correct a mistake. In 2016, CBS 60 minutes covered the Gabriel project in a special edition on Artificial Intelligence. References

<mask> (born 27 September 1968) is a British songwriter and record producer, whose songs are published by Universal UK and EMI Germany. Primarily a pop dance writer working often with award-winning German electronica act York, he has also had success with Pop Idol and The X Factor winners and pop artists in Germany, Holland, Belgium, Spain, France, and Japan. Biography

Early life
<mask> started life in Nairobi. Music took a back seat to sport at school in UK where he captained the Eton cricket 1st XI and represented the Independent Schools Football Association (ISFA) XI as a goalkeeper against Arsenal, QPR and Chelsea youth sides in 1986. Career
Travelling from Kenya to the UK he worked with artists Sybil, Mel Gaynor from Simple Minds and Maxi Priest. Although writing and arranging several tracks for Mel Gaynor's band 'The Fusion Project' in 1997, the album was never released as Gaynor rejoined Simple Minds for a world tour instead. Songwriting and production – 2000 to 2007
Zagoritis settled in the UK in the new millennium fully committed to a musical career.Collaborations with writers Geoffrey Williams, Rob Harris and Matt Johnson, both of Jamiroquai saw releases spawned with South African Popstars winners Jamali and Greek Popstars winners Hi-5. Hi-5 turned two Zagoritis singles 'M’ena Fili' and 'Gennithika Ksana' into Top 10 hits, the latter peaking at No. 5. Both albums achieved platinum status and Gennithika Ksana was nominated for an Arion award. In 2004 Zagoritis began working with Torsten Stenzel, one half of the electronica act York whose second single, "On The Beach", which sampled Chris Rea's song of the same name, reached No. 4 in the UK Singles Chart in June 2000. One of the first of many releases of this partnership was the club hit "Iceflowers" which was supported by Judge Jules and Paul van Dyk.Zagoritis and Stenzel wrote several tracks for the EMI-released York album Peace which also contained their often-remixed song "Mercury Rising". In 2005, Dutch singer EliZe released his song "Automatic" which charted in the Top 10 in several countries. He also co-wrote a song following Liverpool F.C. 's penalty shootout win in the 2004–05 UEFA Champions League final, performed by The Trophy Boyz. Mainstream pop releases followed in 2006 with Holland's EMI act ROOOM charting with a Zagoritis/Geoffrey Williams single named "First Thing", reaching No. 33. In 2007 Germany's Popstars winners No Angels, and DSDS (Germany's X-factor equivalent) runner-up Linda Teodosiu (Sony), also chose his songs: "The Rhythm Of My Heart" was included on the former's album called Destiny which reached No.4 in the UK Albums Chart. 2007 – 2010
Nightwish ex-lead singer Tarja Turunen included several Zag songs for her debut solo album My Winter Storm. Turunen had split acrimoniously from her band and her album contained many veiled references to these experiences, as well as a brooding darkness. Zagoritis's "Damned And Divine", "The Reign" and "Sunset" reflect this mood and demonstrated further ability away from mainstream pop or dance music. My Winter Storm took the No. 1 spot on the Finnish charts, and went platinum in Finland and double platinum in Russia, as well as reaching gold status in Germany, Hungary, and Switzerland. It reached No.3 in Germany. In late 2007, Turunen was nominated for an Echo as best newcomer and an Emma for best Finnish artist. On Turunen's next album, What Lies Beneath, a title track composed by Zagoritis, Stenzel and Heldmann, he contributed "Naiad" which he also wrote with Tarja. The album reached No. 4 in Germany and charted in eight other countries. As a melodician and lyricist his style naturally gravitates to pop music and so a return to such projects followed with several releases for Natalia, Idol star in Belgium. The Zagoritis song "Soul Divided" written with Madonna writer Greg Fitzgerald was released along with two other of his tunes on Natalia's 2009 album, Wise Girl.which reached No. 1 for two weeks. The album achieved platinum status. "Soul Divided" was also covered in Japanese by Avex-signed artist Mihiro in 2010, renamed "Weekend". Universal Germany artist Mihalis took eight Zagoritis lyrics for his album recorded in 2009, simply named Mihalis. Seven of the songs were translations of his past Greek hits. One original song, "Favourite Mistake", was written by Zagoritis and Grammy and Ivor Novello award-winner Rob Davis.Progressive house projects continued in 2009 tracks with "Tears on My Skin", also written with Davis and released on several albums including top-seller Dream Dance, and Free The Night signed by renowned A+R Eddie O' Loughlin to his Next Plateau label, distributed by Universal. Free The Night was well received but failed to chart. Edurne the Spanish pop singer released "Tan Artificial" written by Zagoritis on Nueva Piel, a Sony BMG album that reached No. 16 in March 2010. Current
Kate Ryan, Robbins Entertainment World Music Award winner releases her album, Electroshock in March 2012, the title track written by Zagoritis. It also contains his song "Walk to the Beat" penned with Jukka Immonen. Zagoritis and Stenzel still work on songs for the latter's act York."If Only I" was another collaboration which will also include featured vocals from Danish songstress Tanja Thulau from Danish electronica act Luke. Armada Music, record label of DJ Armin van Buuren released Zag's co-written singles "Top of the Universe" and "Breaking The Rules" in 2013. Also in 2013 in the mainstream pop world Baptiste Giabiconi had a No.1 hit in France with the song "One Night In Paradise", co-written by Zagoritis and others. Giabiconi is a male model who had been discovered by Karl Lagerfeld. In 2015, "Million Miles" co-written by <mask> and Funkstar De Luxe was released in January by Lifted House/Co2 Records and reached No. 8 in the British Dance Chart in April, spending 10 consecutive weeks in the Top 20. The song features vocals by Geoffrey Williams who wrote Michael Jackson's "Whatever Happens".Funkstar De Luxe is renowned for his hit single "'Sun Is Shining' (Bob Marley vs Funkstar De Luxe)" which reached No. 3 in the UK and No. 1 in the U.S Billboard chart. In 2017, Zagoritis and Funkstar formed a new group 'Mr. Anderson', a retro 1980s funk/RnB act featuring Xantoné Blacq, keyboardist and vocalist from Amy Winehouse. The debut Mr. Anderson single "Cinderella" was released in early 2018. Film and television work
His songs have appeared in several films, including the 2009 film Fire starring Gary Dourdan, South Park the 2010 movie Burning Palms directed by Christopher Landon starring Rosamunde Pike, and in the film Electric.His song "Sleepwalking" appears in the 2014 US-released movie The Right Kind of Wrong and "Unbreakable", co-written with Geoffrey Williams features in a pivotal scene of the 2016 film Showing Roots, starring Elizabeth McGovern.
