Specifically\, several measurement methods known a s KJ interviews and workshops\, followed by Kano analysis\, were coupled wi th the SEI's semi-automated text analysis techniques to help scale up the i ndustry-proven DFSS techniques for larger\, geographically distributed sett ings. This webinar will provide more detailed insight to this work\, the pl anned maturation of the modifications of these techniques\, and lessons lea rned in using these methods with SEI collaborators this past summer. The bo ttom line remains clear: These methods are effective at identifying unstate d customer needs which lead to the formulation of innovative solutions that drive customer delight\, customer loyalty\, and increased market share.\n\ nAbout the Authors\n\nRobert W. Stoddard is a senior member of the technica l staff at the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute. He architect ed and designed several leading measurement and CMMI High Maturity courses including "Understanding CMMI High Maturity Practices\," "Improving Process Performance Using Six Sigma\," and "Designing Products and Processes Using Six Sigma."\n\nIra Monach pioneered the evaluation\, development\, and use at the SEI of textual and semantic analysis tools to detect issue patterns in software engineering qualitative data. He also led an SEI research and development investigation that recommended a new strategy for addressing la rge-scale software projects that continue to fail at alarmingly high rates. He continues to investigate the potential of collaborative information tec hnologies for use in improving software engineering processes and building organizational and community memories.\n\nDennis Goldenson is a principal a uthor of the Measurement and Analysis Process Area for Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) models. He is the technical lead for the SEI's emp irical investigations into the performance outcomes of CMMI-based process i mprovement. He previously served as co-lead of test and evaluation for CMM I\, and he was the international trials coordinator for the SPICE project i n support of ISO/IEC 15504.\n\nAfter registering you will receive a confirm ation email containing information about joining the Webinar.\n\nSystem Req uirements\nPC-based attendees\nRequired: Windows® 2000\, XP Home\, XP Pro\, 2003 Server\, Vista\n\nMacintosh®-based attendees\nRequired: Mac OS® X 10. 4 (Tiger®) or newer\n\nSpace is limited.\nReserve your Webinar seat now at: \nhttps://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/443295912 LAST-MODIFIED:20091118T052104Z LOCATION:https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/443295912 SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:SEI Webinar series: How Unstated Customer Needs May Drive Innovatio n TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20091104T210000Z DTEND:20091104T220000Z DTSTAMP:20091126T102422Z UID:d97bqrb76dv6s8ahonr76d7s10@google.com CREATED:20091103T200831Z DESCRIPTION:Given our current focus on usability and our discussion of "emo tional design\," I thought this seminar might be of interest as an industry perspective on the topic.\n\nMore or Less than Usable: The ups and downs o f addressing emotional and unspoken needs.\nMatt Beale\nPresident\, Daedalu s Excel\nWednesday\, 4:00\, NSH 1305\n\nDetails at this URL:\nhttp://www.hc ii.cs.cmu.edu/news/seminar LAST-MODIFIED:20091118T052104Z LOCATION:NSH 1305 SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:More or Less than Usable: The ups and downs of addressing emotional and unspoken needs TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20091029T220000Z DTEND:20091030T000000Z DTSTAMP:20091126T102422Z UID:o5siu9napq0juoq71m790nuft0@google.com CREATED:20091029T161855Z DESCRIPTION:ENDECA Information Session\nThursday\, 29 October 2009\n6:00-8 :00 pm ** Porter Hall A18B\n---Campus Interviews: Friday\, October 30 (Care er Center)\n\nSEARCH!\nEndeca's Search Applications are being leveraged by more than 250 million end users each month\, creating billions of dollars i n benefits for our enterprise customers.

From an engineering perspective \, cloud computing is a distributed computing paradigm that focuses on prov iding a wide range of users with distributed access to virtualized hardware and/or software infrastructure over the Internet. From a business perspect ive\, it is the availability of computing resources that are scalable and b illed on a usage basis as opposed to acquired\, which leads to potential co st savings in IT infrastructure.\n\nThe goal of this introductory level pre sentation is to define cloud computing\, types of clouds and types of cloud computing environments. I will then focus on the drivers and barriers for cloud computing adoption. Finally\, I will compare cloud computing with oth er existing computing paradigms.\n\nAbout Grace Lewis\n\nGrace Lewis is a S enior Member of the Technical Staff at the Software Engineering Institute.

This is part two of a three -part series on Software Product Line Management. Also watch for part three "An Implementation and Maintenance Case Study."\n\nSoftware product lines have emerged as a new software development paradigm of great importance. A software product line is a set of software intensive systems sharing a comm on\, managed set of features\, that satisfy the specific needs of a particu lar market segment or mission and that are developed from a common set of c ore assets in a prescribed way.\n\nOrganizations developing a portfolio of products as a software product line are experiencing order-of-magnitude imp rovements in cost\, time to market\, staff productivity\, and quality of th e deployed products. A product line succeeds because the commonalities shar ed by the software products can be exploited to achieve economies of produc tion.\n\nThe SEI Framework for Software Product Line Practice is a web-base d document that describes essential activities and practices that organizat ions must master in order to successfully adopt a product line approach.\n\ nWebinar attendees will gain a basic understanding of\n\n * how the fram ework codifies existing best practices for software product line\n * sho w the software engineering\, technical management\, and organizational mana gement practice areas of the framework support the three essential activiti es of software product line development\n\n\nBackground Reading:\n\nNorthro p\, Linda & Clements\, Paul.

Users authorize acc ess to these resources either when the\napplication is installed or when th e application rst requires access to an\nunauthorized resource. While the s ecurity of users systems and data\nincreasingly rests on their ability to m ake these authorization decisions\,\nthere is little research to guide thos e designing these authorization\nexperiences.\n\nWe performed a laboratory study to evaluate different designs for\nrepresenting the actions and resou rces to be authorized as a condition of\ninstalling an application. We used a within-participants design to observe\nthirty-three Facebook users abili ty to absorb and search information in\nseventeen different representations \, all of which were presented in the\ncontext of a fictional Facebook appl ication. Four of these representations\nconveyed only a set of resources to be authorized\, such as contacts or\nfriends. The other thirteen represent ations paired resources with different\nactions that could be performed on them\, such as seeing information\,\nchanging information\, or adding new i nformation.\n\nWe find that participants overwhelmingly prefer representati ons in which\nresources are presented visually\, using icons or pictures. W e also find\nstrong evidence that users are able to search presentations co ntaining icons\nmore quickly than those that do not. Finally\, we found tha t participants\nperformed better when authorization information was organiz ed by actions\,\nand followed by the various resources on which the actions would be\nauthorized\, than when information was grouped by the resources. \n\nJoint work with Stuart Schechter (MSR) and Robert Reeder (Microsoft)\n\ nIn partial fulfillment of speaking skills requirement.\n\n---------------- -------------------------------------------------------\nCheck out www.cs.c mu.edu/~sss\nTo unsubscribe from the SSS announcement list\, please go to\n https://mailman.srv.cs.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/student-seminar-series LAST-MODIFIED:20091118T052102Z LOCATION:GHC 4303 SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:No Authorization Without Representation: Conveying the authority ap plications require users to grant as a condition of installation TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20091117T220000Z DTEND:20091118T013000Z DTSTAMP:20091126T102422Z UID:p8u9sfqlh9u4o59d5dfs0v3cj0@google.com CREATED:20091116T184324Z DESCRIPTION:90 Elevator Pitch Competition\n\nSpecial Sponsors: The Idea Fou ndry\, Pittsburgh Equity Partners\, CTTEC\, Scott Russell (BS ’82)\n\nDate: Tuesday – November 17\, 2009\n\nTime: 5:00 pm – 8:30 pm\n\nLocation: Newel l Simon\, Room 3305\n\nTo Apply\, Register by November 12th at: http://www. unleashingcarnegiemellon.org\n\nHighlights:\n\n· $1\,500 Cash Prize s with special categories Ph.D.s & Graduates from Technical Schools\, Gamin g/Apps/Web 2.0\, and more!\n\n· Judged by Pittsburgh VCs and Entrep reneur LAST-MODIFIED:20091118T052102Z LOCATION:Newell Simon\, Room 3305 SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:90 Elevator Pitch Competition TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20091030T230000Z DTEND:20091031T000000Z DTSTAMP:20091126T102422Z UID:hp4ug76f7ireubns2fsnpgdgoc@google.com CREATED:20091028T120732Z DESCRIPTION:Student Government Presents: A Homecoming Extravaganza!\n\n \n\ nAttend one of these great events & sign up for the *Tartan Rewards\n\nProg ram*\, earning points toward winning cool prizes (everything from\n\nTartan towels to gas cards and a flat screen TV!).\n\n*Event 2:*\n\nVolleyball vs .

Additive noise degrades sign ificantly the performance of conventional pattern recognition algorithms\, for example the hidden Markov models used in ASR. New machine learning algo rithms based on factorizing the sound spectrogram have proven to be good to ols in separating sounds from mixtures. Specifically\, non-negative spectro gram decompositions are able to learn the structure of the data automatical ly without the need to tune sophisticated separation algorithms. We present source separation algorithms and models based on non-negative matrix facto rization and maxrix deconvolution\, and extensions such as the source-filte r model. We discuss both supervised and unsupervised use of the methods. Th e ability of the models to deal with mixtures of sounds has provided superi or results in the recognition of noisy signals. We present state-of-the art results in robust speech recognition\, speech enhancement\, and music info rmation retrieval. Audio demonstrations will be given.\n\nBio:\nTuomas Virt anen is a senior researcher at Tampere University of Technology\, Finland. He finished his PhD about monaural sound source separation in 2006.

However\, in order t o be\nsuccessful\, these approaches must deal with variations that exist in \ndifferent brains both anatomically and functionally. In this talk\, I\npr esent an approach to integrate multiple fMRI datasets in the context of\npr edictive fMRI data analysis. The approach utilizes canonical correlation\na nalysis (CCA) to find common dimensions among the different datasets\,\nimp licitly taking into account the anatomic and functional variations\npresent in the data. We apply the approach to the task of predicting brain\nactiva tions for unseen concrete-noun words using multiple-subject datasets\nfrom two related fMRI studies.

Using asynchronous IO to improve the performance of web servers.\n\n \n\nS ynopsis: The Asynchronous Input / Output (I/O) mechanism provides a user pr ocess with the ability to overlap processing with I/O operations.\n\n \n\nI n real time and transaction processing environments\, applications may need to overlap their compute and I/O processing to improve the throughput and determinism on a per process or application basis.\n\n \n\nYou can use Asyn chronous I/O to enable read-ahead and write-behind to be performed in a con trolled fashion. One process can have many I/O operations in progress while it is executing other code. Conversely\, with synchronous I/O\, the proces s would have been blocked waiting for each I/O operation.\n\nWe shall see m ore of this in the session. \n\n \n\n2.

Construct is a multi-agent model of\ngroup and organizational be havior. Human beings are inherently variable\nand complex. Construct models groups and organizations as complex systems\nand captures the variability in human and organizational factors. The\nnon-linearity of the model genera tes complex temporal behavior due to\ndynamic relationships among agents. T hese dynamic relationships are\ngrounded in structuration theory which is t he notion of construction and\nreconstruction of the social system through human interaction based on\nrules and resources. The changes in the social system are defined and\nanalyzed through the lens of social network analysi s.

The SEI's People Capability Maturity Model® ( P-CMM®) provides a roadmap for continuously improving the capability of an organization's workforce. The roadmap provides a guide for transforming an organization by steadily improving and evolving its workforce practices. \n\nTo implement change successfully\, an organization must engage and gain buy-in from all levels and roles in the organization including executives\ , managers\, process owners\, and employees. One of the benefits of P-CMM is that it considers these multiple levels as wells as the necessary infras tructure and institutionalization required for successful and lasting chang e. While each level of the organization has its roles and responsibilitie s in a change effort\, this presentation will focus on those of the unit ma nager. \n\nIn order to build workforce capability\, organizations must d evelop managers that take responsibility and authority for managing\, devel oping\, and motivating the individuals who are under their direction. In the context of a maturity level 2 P-CMM improvement program\, this presenta tion will address the roles and responsibilities of the manager\, how manag ers can use the level 2 practices to implement changes\, and lastly introdu ce the concept of a manager's toolkit.\n\nAbout the Presenters\n\nDr. Palma Buttles-Valdez is a Member of the Technical Staff at the Software Engineer ing Institute. At the SEI\, she is a member of the People Capability Maturi ty Model team where she develops courses\, delivers training and provides c onsulting services. Palma holds a Ph.D. in Anthropology from The University of Texas at Austin. She has been active in the field of Anthropological Ar chaeology for over 20 years and Process Improvement for 10 years. Palma is an SEI-authorized Instructor for the Introduction to People CMM\, Intermedi ate Concepts of People CMM\, and Introduction to People CMM Instructor Trai ning courses. \n\nGian Wemyss is a Senior Member of the Technical Staff and the Team Lead for the People CMM Initiative at the Software Engineering In stitute (SEI)/Carnegie Mellon University. He assists organizations in succe ssfully addressing their critical human capital issues through the use of t he People Capability Maturity Model®. His work also includes the identifica tion\, development\, and application of practices that result in the rapid\ , affordable\, and sustained transition of innovative software engineering management technologies developed at the SEI. This includes work on interpr etive guidance for users of CMMI®\, and the development of a disciplined tr ansition planning method for technology transition and change management pr actices.

If you're interested in\nattending\, please let me know as soon as possible. A s before\, I will\nsend out details in an email after I get responses from people and\nverify with the dropzone about the trip. Also\, you don't have to have\ncome on the previous trip in order to come on this trip. Anyone is \nwelcome to come.\n\nYou do not need any experience whatsoever to attend. If you've never\nskydived before\, you will most likely do a tandem freefa ll jump\, the\nmost common and recommended first-time skydive experience. The jump\nwill cost $179\, with video available at an additional charge ($7 9 I\nbelieve). This trip will be run in conjunction with the CMU Explorer's \nclub (www.skydivecmu.com). Joining the explorers club costs $20 for an\na nnual membership\, but first time jumpers get an additional $20\ndiscount\, so joining is free.

As the world responds\, however\, relief organizations a nd volunteers face communication challenges imposed by language barriers an d cultural differences.\n\nTo satisfy the communication needs\, we have wor ked for many years on building and deploying speech communication systems t hat would provide human-to-human language interpretation and have explored them in actual field use. In addition to the scientific problems associated with speech and language technology\, such a goal harbors numerous practic al\, logistical and financial pitfalls that one stumbles upon when one leav es the comfort of our research labs.\n\nIn this talk I will tell the story of this (ongoing) adventure in three parts:\n\n1.) Technology: How does a s peech-to-speech translation system work and what does it do? What levels of performance can we expect\, and what language assistance can it offer? Can it handle many languages and how flexible is it to be used in different fi eld situations? What interfaces and what platforms are needed for field use ? How can it be built\, maintained and ported inexpensively?\n\n2.) Money: How much does it cost to develop a speech translator? Who pays for the deve lopment of such systems? I will discuss our Robin Hood approach: we sign up people in the developing world to provide language expertise over the inte rnet\; we build\, improve and market the technology in the developed world\ ; with the proceeds we improve and adapt the technology for health care mis sions and redeploy it in the developing world. We have formed several compa nies around the world that provide system development\, product distributio n\, marketing\, and data collection.\n\n3.) Deployment: We examine\, how it all fits together and what lessons we have learned from three different he althcare missions that we are attempting to support: in the mountains of Ho nduras\, remote villages of Thailand\, and in the jungles of Papua\, Indone sia.\n\nWarning: No equations\, but plenty of system demos\, pictures\, mov ies and 'war' stories from the field.\n\nFor more information and ground-br eaking developments\, please visit the International Center for Advanced Co mmunication Technologies at http://www.is.cs.cmu.edu/ and the jibbigo comp any at http://www.jibbigo.com.\n\nAlex Waibel is a Professor of Computer Sc ience at the Language Technology Institute at Carnegie Mellon University\, and at the Institute of Anthropomatics at the University of Karlsruhe.

Nonetheless\, despite our “best” efforts\, missions encounter problems\, some of which have been irrecoverable. This talk examines several robotic ( unmanned) space missions\, each of which had a crisis\, and three of which we lost. What were the problems\, what were the root causes\, and most impo rtantly\, what could have been done better during the engineering lifecycle to prevent such problems? This talk examines those questions and provides some answers. In the end\, the right attitude that engineers should bring t o every design is to assume it doesn’t work and then try to prove that it d oes work.

This raises two questions. Firs t\, how can utility be\nmeasured\, and\, second\, how can it be optimized? The conventional\napproach is to equate utility with some score (e.g. Avg. Precision\,\nNDCG) derived from expert relevance judgments\, and then to op timize this\nscore. However\, this has several well-know problems (e.g. div ergence\nbetween user and expert judgments\, ignorance of user context\, co st\,\navailability)\, and it raises the question of whether utility can be\ nelicited directly from the user?\n\nThis talk will present methods for eli citing and optimizing utility\ndirectly via interactive experiments. Such i nteractive experiments give\na more well-defined meaning to observable feed back like clicks\, and they\nwill be shown to provide accurate ordinal stat ements about result\nutility in a controlled user study. Furthermore\, I wi ll show how search\nengines can learn efficiently from a sequence of experi ments in the\nsense of optimizing regret. This provides new methods for lea rning\nimproved retrieval functions from implicit feedback.\n\nJoint work w ith Josef Broder\, Bobby Kleinberg\, Madhu Kurup\, Filip\nRadlinski\, and Y isong Yue.\n\n\nBio: Thorsten Joachims is an Associate Professor in the Dep artment of\nComputer Science at Cornell University.

Fleet treats\narithmetic and logical operations as side effects of where th e programmer sends data.\n\nFleet achieves high performance through fine gr ain concurrency. Everything Fleet does is concurrent\nat the lowest level\; programmers who wish sequential behavior must program it explicitly. Fleet presents\na stark contrast to today's multi-core machines in which program mers seek concurrency in an inherently\nsequential environment.\n\nThe Flee t architecture uses a uniform switch fabric to simplify chip design. A few thousand identical\ncopies of a configurable interface will connect a thous and or so repetitions of basic arithmetic\, logical\,\ninput-output\, and s torage units to the switch fabric. The uniform switch fabric and the identi cal configurable\ninterfaces will simplify many of the hard parts of design ing the computing elements themselves.\n\nBoth software and FPGA simulators of a Fleet system are available at UC Berkeley. Berkeley students\nhave wr itten a variety of Fleet programs\; their work helped to define what the co nfigurable interface\nbetween computing and communication must do. A simple compiler configures both source and destination\nto provide flow-controlle d communication. We expect work on a higher-level language for Fleet to app ear\nsoon as a Berkeley PhD dissertation.\n\nLast year we built a 90 nanome ter TSMC test chip\, called Infinity\, at Sun Microsystems. Infinity\ndemon strated the switch fabric running at about 4 GHz. We now have a new test ch ip\, called Marina\,\nalso in 90-nanometer TSMC sponsored by Sun. Marina sh ows correct operation of the configurable switch\nfabric interface. Togethe r Infinity and Marina give us confidence to build a complete Fleet. We seek \nparticipation from sponsors\, computer scientists\, and hardware designer s.\n\n\nSPEAKER BIO\nIvan Sutherland is a Visiting Scientist at Portland St ate University where he and Marly Roncken have recently\nestablished the As ynchronous Research Center (ARC).

These problems are common in many\nfields---for example\, n atural language processing (NLP)\, computer\nvision\, and computational bio logy---and have been the focus of a great\ndeal of recent research in machi ne learning.\n\nIn this talk I'll describe models for two structured predic tion\nproblems in NLP: parsing and machine translation. Central to both\nap proaches is a variant of Tree Adjoining Grammar (TAG) (Joshi et al.\,\n1975 )\, which is computationally efficient\, but which also allows the\nuse of relatively rich syntactic representations. The TAG-based parser\ngeneralize s a powerful class of discriminative models (conditional\nrandom fields) to full syntactic parsing. The TAG-based translation\nsystem makes direct use of syntactic structures in modeling\ndifferences in word order between dif ferent languages\, and in modeling\nthe grammaticality of translation outpu t. In both cases we show\nimprovements over state-of-the-art systems.\n\nTh is is joint work with Xavier Carreras and Terry Koo.\n\n\n\n-- \n~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\nSharon Cavlovich\nAssistant to the Department Head\nMach ine Learning Department\nCarnegie Mellon University\n5000 Forbes Avenue\nGa tes Hillman Complex 8215\nPittsburgh\, PA 15213\n(412)268-5196\nhttp://www. cs.cmu.edu/~sharonw LAST-MODIFIED:20091008T220509Z LOCATION:Google Pittsburgh - CIC Building (lower level) SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:TAG-based Structured Prediction Models for Parsing and Machine Tran slation TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20091009T183000Z DTEND:20091009T193000Z DTSTAMP:20091126T102422Z UID:urt6ns1pk4ofe56atn2m95rf1c@google.com CREATED:20091007T132854Z DESCRIPTION:Hi all\,\n\nHenrik Wann Jensen (UCSD) is one of the very few CS faculty who has an Oscar.

This involves answering questions such as why the\nsky is blue\, why g rass appears green\, and what determines the color of\nhuman skin. Having a n understanding of how light interacts with materials\nallows us to simulat e the appearance of these materials.\n\nIn this talk\, I will describe some of our recent work in simulating the\nappearance of materials such as huma n skin\, hair\, milk\, and ice. I will\nshow how recent advances makes it p ossible to render a human face\, which\nis particularly challenging\, since human observers are highly sensitive to\nthe appearance of faces - a chall enge known as the uncanny valley.\nFinally\, I will present new research fo r predicting the appearance of\nmaterials based on their molecular structur e in order to answer the\nquestion: "what will it look like if I mix these molecules together"?\n\n------------------\n Speaker Bio\n----------------- -\n\nHenrik Wann Jensen is an associate professor at the University of\nCal ifornia at San Diego\, where he is teaching computer graphics.

During those years\, he was a \nprimary contributor and project leader for the Topaz programming environment and its \nmicro-kerne l operating system\, the first to provide high-performance\, light-weight p rocess \nscheduling and inter-process communication on a multiprocessor wor kstation. He also was \nproject leader and a primary contributor for Vesta\ , a software configuration management \nsystem embodying novel technology a nd tools for source control\, version management\, and \nbuilding of large software systems.\n\nBefore joining Digital\, Roy was a Principal Scientist at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center. \nHe was project co-leader and a pri ncipal developer of Cedar\, an experimental programming \nenvironment for h igh-performance workstations. Cedar set the standard (c. 1982) for integrat ed \nprogramming environments for algol-tradition languages\, incorporating significant advances in \nlanguage technology\, file systems\, network com munication (rpc)\, and user interfaces.

Such sensing problems are typically NP-hard\, and in the past\, he uristics without theoretical guarantees about the solution quality have oft en been used. In this talk\, we present algorithms which efficiently find p rovably near-optimal solutions to large\, complex sensing problems. Our alg orithms are based on the key insight that many important sensing problems e xhibit submodularity\, an intuitive diminishing returns property: Adding a sensor helps more the fewer sensors we have placed so far. In addition to i dentifying most informative locations for placing sensors\, our algorithms can handle settings\, where sensor nodes need to be able to reliably commun icate over lossy links\, where mobile robots are used for collecting data o r where solutions need to be robust against adversaries and sensor failures . We present results applying our algorithms to several real-world sensing tasks\, including environmental monitoring using robotic sensors\, activity recognition using a built sensing chair\, and a sensor placement competiti on. We conclude with drawing an interesting connection between sensor place ment for water monitoring and addressing the challenges of information over load on the web. As examples of this connection\, we address the problem of selecting blogs to read in order to learn about the biggest stories discus sed on the web\, and personalizing content to turn down the noise in the bl ogosphere.\n\nBio:\nCarlos Guestrin is the Finmeccanica Associate Professor in the Machine Learning and in the Computer Science Departments at Carnegi e Mellon University.

Next Friday ( 9/11)\, the MSELI will be holding our semester kickoff event. This time\, t he them is Ignite Night! All students and faculty are welcome (and encourag ed) to attend. So\, what is Ignite Night? Good question. In the first coupl e of weeks\, teams are trying to ge their heads wrapped around the program\ , all their work\, and their projects. Unfortunately\, this leaves little t ime for the students and faculty to get to know each other. Ignote Night is an evening of cultural sharing and exposure. Students and faculty can volu nteer to give a 5 minute presentation about their country or culture or ori gin. You can read more about the ignite presentation style at: http://en.wi kipedia.org/wiki/Ignite_(event). Here are the details:\n\n\nWhat: MSELI Ign ite Night!\nWhere: SCR 265\nWhen: Next Friday (9/11) from 5:30 to 7:00PM\nW ho: Students and Faculty (significant others are also welcome)\n\n\nIf you would like to attend\, please reply to this email with your name and whethe r you'd like to present. If you do want to present\, I also need to know yo ur desired presentation country or culture. We try to make these as diverse as possible so people get a wide range of exposure - people are welcome to do a presentation together. Once I receive all of the emails\, I'll touch base with all of the presenters ahead of time with a schedule.\n\n\nIn orde r to get enough pizza and drinks for everyone\, I need two things. First\, please reply to this email letting me know if you're attending - I need an accurate head count to order the right amount of food. Second\, we're askin g each attendant to pay $3.00 to help cover the cost of the food and drinks . The MSELI is "for the students\, by the students" so we're counting on yo u to help make these events possible.\n\n\nWe hope to see everyone there. R emember\, this is a great opportunity to meet and learn more about the peop le who surround you each day. Last time\, everyone had a lot of fun and we hope this is a tradition that will continue for classes in the future. If a nyone has questions or comments\, please let me know.\n\n\nWelcome to life in the cave!\nJonathan\n\n\nhttp://mseli.mse.cs.cmu.edu/wiki LAST-MODIFIED:20091007T102626Z LOCATION:SCR 265 SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:MSELI Ignite Night!

CS 50 is required of majors\, but most of\nthe course’s students are non-majors. The course has never lacked for good\nteachers or content\, but we dare say it has suffered some problems of\nperception and \, like most schools\, declining enrollment.\n\nIn Fall 2007\, we set out t o combat both. Not only did we "modernize" the\ncourse's assignments\, bri nging the focus of each more in line with domains\nmore familiar to student s\, we also took care to make the course more\naccessible to those self-des cribed as "less comfortable" with technology.\nBut we did not have to sacri fice the course's fundamentals or rigor\; the\ncourse has preserved its rep utation as having one of the highest workloads\nat Harvard.\n\nIn Fall 2006 \, enrollment was 132. In Fall 2007\, it was 282 and\, in Fall\n2008\, 330 .

In copying a string in memory\ , they unwittingly create a vulnerability that can be used to execute malic ious code by an attacker.\n \nThe malicious code may be used to spread a wo rm\, or insert a back door on a machine\, steal a user's identity\, or stea l sensitive information. \n \nIn fact\, a recent study found that 64 percen t of vulnerabilities in the National Vulnerability Database were the result of coding errors. \n \nLed by Robert Seacord\, the Secure Coding Initiativ e (SCI) within CERT works with software developers and software development organizations to eliminate vulnerabilities resulting from coding errors be fore software becomes operational. SCI is developing secure coding standar ds for commonly used programming languages such as C\, C++\, and Java. The se standards can be used to improve and assess the security and overall qua lity of software through training\, automated analysis\, code review\, and other processes.\n\nTo learn more about Robert's work and the Secure Coding Initiative at the SEI\, sign up for the webinar on August 13th. \n\nAfter registering you will receive a confirmation email containing information ab out joining the Webinar.\n\nSystem Requirements\nPC-based attendees\nRequir ed: Windows® 2000\, XP Home\, XP Pro\, 2003 Server\, Vista\n\nMacintosh®-ba sed attendees\nRequired: Mac OS® X 10.4 (Tiger®) or newer\n\nSpace is limit ed.\nReserve your Webinar seat now at:\nhttps://www1.gotomeeting.com/regist er/611307073 LAST-MODIFIED:20090721T154835Z LOCATION:https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/611307073 SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:SEI Webinar Series: Secure Coding TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20090807T230000Z DTEND:20090808T000000Z DTSTAMP:20091126T102422Z UID:koi265bkdtrrqpn001ml4528rs@google.com CREATED:20090721T154517Z DESCRIPTION:The legendary Wailing Souls are part of the small surviving gro up of reggae and roots originators still musically active today.

IT enables rapid innovation in their business and gives them a comp etitive edge. However\, in the current economic climate\, Enterprises are s tunted in their ability to innovate and deliver new services to their custo mers\, due to bloated\, inefficient\, costly\, and unsustainable IT systems . Virtualization and Cloud Computing promises to radically change the dynam ics of IT. Virtualization can extract high utilization out of existing serv ers\, obviating the need to buy more servers. Cloud Computing can deliver I T resources much like a utility\, you only pay for what you use and you nev er have to buy or maintain your own hardware. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) can deliver software applications over the web into your browser as service \, you only pay-as-you-go and never have to license or maintain/patch the s oftware application (RIP: shrink-wrapped software).\n\nThere are however\, significant challenges to overcome\, before the potential gains from Virtua lization/Cloud Computing/SaaS can be fully realized. Thusly\, Enterprises h ave been slow to adopt these new technologies and paradigms. Our early stag e start-up is an attempt to solve many of these technical and business chal lenges. We envision an IT utopia for the Enterprise – where they will retur n to focusing on their core business and only use IT as an enabling and eff icient service. We are focused on changing the way Enterprises consume and pay for business software. This talk will discuss the technical challenges and potential solutions to Enterprise adoption of Virtualization/Cloud Comp uting/SaaS.\n\nBio:\nPrior to founding his startup company\, Alok Rishi wor ked at Sun for 20+ years doing R&D in Solaris\, Java Virtual Machine\, auto debugging and performance tuning tools\, network services engineering\, an d service science.
