November 3, 2005 - Dave Brock visited Microsoft in Redmond, WA for a day-long meeting with senior managers to discuss the work of the MIT Data Center, including applications of the M Language. Besides holding a half day seminar, Dave also had a series of individual meetings in the afternoon regarding Microsoft's potential role as a sponsor of the MIT Data Center.
November 1, 2005 - Giving a poster session at the CIMIT Annual Briefing, Dave Brock met with a number of representatives from the healthcare industry. A main topic of this meeting, which was held at the Conference Center of the Harvard Medical School, involved the ability to interoperate data within the medical industry. The M Language has the capability to allow seamless data exchange between entities that use different schema. This is of great interest to the medical community.
October 2005 - As the keynote speaker, Dave Brock attended the PIDEX (petroleum industry data exchange) meeting held at the
Halliburton Conference Center in
Houston, TX. During the two day meeting, Dave put forth the goals of the MIT Data Center and had detailed technical discussions about the M Language, a means of creating an interoperable environment for data among other things.

October 2005 - Dave Brock met with representatives from Innovation Norway to review the M Language and Dictionary, applications being researched and developed, and to discuss details of becoming a member of the MIT Data Center.
September 2005 - The MIT Laboratory for Manufacturing and Productivity announces the Fall seminar schedule. These seminars are free and open to the public.
September 26, 2005, Professor Jung-Hoon Chun, Director of the Laboratory for Manufacturing and Productivity (LMP) at MIT, has announced the Fall seminar schedule. These presentations by leaders in manufacturing span a range of topics and are free and open to the public. You can see a list of the dates and topics at LMP Seminars.
The MIT Data Center is situated within LMP, which is a University wide research center. Some of the groups within LMP include nanotechnology, environmental research (disposal), MIT Auto-ID Labs, and Manufacturing Systems among others. You will find the members of LMP a good group who welcome participation from industry. Please consider attending one of these seminars. The seminars are held in room 35-225. For directors, please go to campus map.
August 2005, Professor Jung-Hoon Chun and Dr. David Brock visited the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to discuss the goals and objectives of the MIT Data Center in the area of the building of an interoperable computer system to link models and data together within a network. NIST recognizes that this type of basic infrastructure has important implications to business in terms of manufacturing productivity and improved integration of data and mathematical models.
At the conclusion of the meeting, NIST agreed to formalize a collaborative agreement with the MIT Data Center, the goal being further research, development, and implementation of the M Language and Dictionary. This will include frequent consultations and participation in the various programs of the MIT Data Center, in addition to a program for graduate students doing thesis work in the area.
NIST is an agency located within the Commerce Department's Technology administration. The agency has participated in a number of technological innovations since its establishment in 1901. These include image processing, DNA diagnostic chips, smoke detectors, and automated error-correcting software for machine tools. The agency conducts a number of research programs including the Information Technology Laboratory.
