Launch, Persevere, and Collaborate Faculty Senate Forum on Research and Scholarship Solitude, The Inn, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA 24061 USA – 3/16/2017 Edward A. Fox Professor, Department of Computer Science (and by courtesy, ECE) Associate Faculty with: Global Change Center, VT Center for Autism Research Director, Digital Library Research Laboratory, 2030 Torgersen Hall Executive Director and Chairman of the Board, Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (www.ndltd.org) http://fox.cs.vt.edu/talks/2017/20170316FacultySenateForumFox.pptx

Acknowledgments: Thanks go to: NSF for current grants: CMMI-1638207, IIS-1619028, IIS-1319578 Other current grants: NIH 1R01DA039456-01, IMLS LG-71-16-0037-16, University of North Texas (NSF flow through) NSF for recent grants: DUE-1141209, OCI-1032677, DUE-0840719 Digital Library Research Laboratory, Department of Computer Science Students, colleagues (including several on panel), remote collaborators Advisers: JCR Licklider & Michael Kessler (MIT), Gerard Salton (Cornell)

Launch Be (one of) the first to start an area / sub-area Information retrieval (sub-areas) Digital video, multimedia Digital libraries Electronic theses and dissertations Web archiving, analysis, and access Build up momentum to ensure funding stream(s) Help launch workshops, conferences, newsletters, magazines, journals Help build community: locally, regionally, nationally, internationally US then Europe then Asia (including Australia, India, etc.) then: Latin America … When appropriate, involve UNESCO, Foundations, ...

Persevere Have a long term vision; articulate it; motivate others Piece-by-piece work on the key sub-areas Develop a diversified portfolio of related research projects, leveraging opportunities as they arise Serve in various roles on workshops, conferences, publications Continue on steering committees, advisory/continuity committees Encourage current and former students to Do projects, theses, dissertations Move into leadership roles If there is big enough and active enough community, let others run with it and move on (but maybe keep teaching related courses)

Collaborate DBLP (http://dblp.uni-trier.de/) CS bibliography shows 450 collaborators http://vtechworks.lib.vt.edu shows student reports in classes: CS4624 (93), CS5604 (28), CS6604 (8) Adviser for roughly 60 completed theses or dissertations Roughly 75% of grants have collaborator(s) 45 conferences/workshops as (co)chair (of PC) Other involvements in journals, conferences, workshops: ~340 Lab of 8-25 students (with co-advisers)

Balance and perspective Guide, motivate, encourage others to fill leadership roles Unless a central passion, and there is a real need, step back Don’t juggle too many things Rejoice in the successes of others, and don’t seek power or fame Be happy when there is advancement, improvement Encourage brainstorming, and have fun with others

Discussion Is this approach still viable today? What is the role of mentoring? Do we really have leaders, collaborators, and followers? Ed Fox, fox@vt.edu, 2160G Torgersen Hall, 231-5113
