  1. Memory – CS Perspective • Traditionally based on index structures + hierarchical architecture of files • New developments include content addressable memory • Storage is getting cheaper and cheaper • Info retrieval is getting harder and harder – searching, browsing, associative linking? • Challenges of handling multimedia • Potential of the Web/Semantic Web/Grid for creating global, distributed memory

  2. Forgetting – CS Perspective • Is forgetting removal from memory (deletion/garbage collection) or making it harder to find (foreground and background info, removing links) • As storage becomes cheaper do we need to remove anything completely from memory? • How do we decide what to forget (e.g.hotel room numbers)? • Inadvertently forgetting - dealing with changing formats (hardware/software) • Do computers dream? • Privacy, security, trust issues (development of forensic science)

  3. Dealing with information overload – CS Perspective • Not just a memory/forgetting issue – but it is an issue that both communities can see research challenges in • Automatic retrieval in context • Remembering to remember • Design of devices to help people with memory difficulties • Stress – cause and effect • Technological vs sociological solutions?
