Silicon Republic is carrying an article on a project called Metropolis being conducted at the Interaction, Simulation and Graphics Lab at TCD.
Pretty good and accurate piece on the project.
The DERI blog also has an entry about this.
Silicon Republic has an interesting and reasonably extensive post on their blog covering Professor Donal O’Mahony and the SFI-funded Centre for Telecoms Value Chain Research
A brief quote:
To understand what the CTVR actually does, it is first necessary to define the term ‘value chain’. It was first coined in the Eighties by US management thinker ME Porter, who defined it as a “tool for diagnosing competitive advantage” and stated that a value chain “divides a firm into the discrete activities it performs in designing, producing, marketing and distributing its product”.
The Irish Times this morning reports that the University of Limerick has appointed Professor Don Barry as its new President. Professor Barry replaces the current acting President, John O’Connor.
The appointment is also announced on the UL news page

Announcing the appointment, Mr Donlon said, “The Governing Authority of the University of Limerick unanimously adopted the recommendation of the Presidential Selection Board and we are delighted to have appointed a person with the eminent reputation of Professor Don Barry as a scholar, a senior university executive and an academic leader. I am sure that, during Professor Barry’s presidency, UL will further develop as a pioneering and progressive force in Irish education for the betterment of society”.
