Info Mesa

Info Mesa

Info Mesa is the named coined by Ed Regis to describe the emerging technology companies and community in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The name was first used in an article [ [http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/8.06/infomesa.html Ed Regis, "Greetings from the Info Mesa," Wired Magazine, (June 2000) p. 337.] ] in Wired Magazine in 2000 and later in a book [ cite book | author=Regis, Edward | title=The Info Mesa: Science, Business, and New Age Alchemy on the Santa Fe Plateau | location= New York | publisher=Norton| year=2003 | id=ISBN 0-393-02123--8] by Regis published in 2003. The main characteristics of the companies in the Info Mesa are the focus on extracting usable information from large data flows and understanding the emergent behavior of large numbers of interacting agents. Much of the technology originated in nearby Los Alamos National Laboratory, National Center for Genome Resources, and Santa Fe Institute. The companies have applied these technologies to applications such as drug discovery, black-box trading systems, bankruptcy forecasting, airline scheduling, reinsurance, and professional physician networks. [ [http://www.discover.com/issues/feb-02/features/featsurprise/ Dana MacKinzie, "The Science of Surprise," Discover Magazine, Vol. 23, No. 2, 59-63 (February 2002).] ] The collapse of the dotcom boom and 9/11 led to the failure of many of the Info Mesa companies. However, many survived and succeeded.
