description Portland R User Group Main talk: "Rating Systems" Albyn Jones Lightning talk: "R, JavaScript, Protein Folds, and Compressed Sensing: A Quartet of Awesome" Kevin Lynagh Social hour (following talks): Le Hana Japanese Bar & Grill 3500 SW River Parkway Talk descriptions: "Rating Systems" An overview of rating systems: what is a rating system? (as opposed to polls, BCS, the NCAA RPI, bridge master points, etc), a little history (the Elo system for chess), and then a discussion of two or three in more detail, and how one might do the computations in R. "R, JavaScript, Protein Folds, and Compressed Sensing: A Quartet of Awesome" This talk is a lightning overview of a protein fold search algorithm based on compressed sensing. The focus of the talk will be on the algorithm's implementation and its testing; more specifically, how to complement R with other tools. I will discuss - speeding up R linear algebra routines - using Ruby to structure raw data into a lightweight SQL database accessible by R - presenting results on the web using Protovis and other JavaScript visualization libraries Details on the algorithm are online at http://www.dirigibleflightcraft.com/prote.cs/ Speaker bios: Albyn Jones- BA UCLA 1978, PhD Yale (Statistics) 1986. I have worked as a research associate at the National Research Council, and served on the faculty of Carnegie Mellon, Reed, and as a visitor at Yale. I have worked on problems ranging from numerical analysis (error in floating point computation), to rating systems, earthquakes and microarray analysis. Former students have gone on to do Good Things, like starting R Meetups. Kevin Lynagh- Studied organic synthesis, graphic design, and traditional French baking before getting an undergraduate degree in physics. His first scientific program was a symbolic algebra system in LISP designed to solve and typeset his freshman homework. He is not qualified to speak on any of the subjects of this talk.

update Calagator::Event 1250459626 IEEE OREGON Virtual Worlds Symposium Roll back

description Co-sponsored by: National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research, NCRAR Goto: http://ewh.ieee.org/mu/oregon-ims-css/ for detailed symposium info. In the context of this symposium, a virtual world will be defined as a computer-based simulated 3D virtual environment in which users, taking the form of avatars visible to others graphically, inhabit, create and use objects, and interact with each other. Although, the usage of virtual worlds for entertainment purposes might be generally understood, the increased usage of virtual worlds for education, business, professional and commercial applications is not yet well understood. The purpose of this symposium is introduce 1) present tutorials and examples of usage of a selected virtual social environment, Second Life®, which is being used by the IEEE® professional organization to educate, communicate, and promote membership collaboration, present examples of Second Life being used in a wider range of engineering fields such as architecture, mechanical design, corporate group meetings, 2) present a keynote address by an IEEE Instrumentation & Measurement Society Distinguished Lecturer on research topics in the area of virtual social environments and multi-player gaming, and, 3) host a “geekfest” event with presentations demonstrating wide-ranging universe of virtual worlds, applications, tools, and situations. It is anticipated the symposium will be jamb-packed with entertaining multimedia presentations, fun for attendees and fun for presenters. The symposium will be considered a success if those attending leave with greater knowledge, deeper understanding, and lots of thoughts on how virtual world technology is, could, or might be applied in our world. Finally, it is hoped the symposium will help foster continued cross-generation, cross-discipline fellowship and learning on this topic. Speaker(s): Dr. Shervin Shirmohammadi, Agenda: Goto: http://ewh.ieee.org/mu/oregon-ims-css/ for detailed symposium info. <b>Part 0 (4pm to 4:45pm) Introduction to the selected virtual world, Second Life.</b> Not recorded. Basic introduction to Second Life. For those who have little idea what it is, how it could be used, or how to use it. Includes PBS Digital Nation, parts 6&7, Second Life introductory multimedia. <b>Part 1 (5pm to 6:15pm) Student presentations: IEEE Second Life and Engineering applications.</b> Recorded.<br> [six] 10 minute presentations total. Two general types of student presentations: • Tutorials on Second Life- How Second Life is being used by the IEEE professional organization and how to use it. Topics might include but not limited to: what are IEEE Second Life islands, how to enter and use them, extend them, etc. How is IEEE currently using their real estate in Second Life. What is the Second Life grid and mainland. What are other tools available in Second Life. Development and acquisition of objects and real estate in Second Life to create image, personality, establish presence, and conduct one’s “self”. • Demonstrations of engineering in Second Life- Demonstrations of other significant engineering usages of Second Life model. Examples might include designing products or buildings using simulation. <b>Break (6:15pm to 7:00pm)</b> Dinner break. Complementary, self-serve food buffet in symposium area. Partakers encouraged to drop a few cans in foodbank barrels. <b>Part 2 (7:00pm to 8:30pm) Keynote: Distinguished Lecturer, Dr. Shervin Shirmohammadi.</b> Recorded. Sponsored by IEEE Instrumentation & Measurement Society Distinguished Lecturer Program: Distinguished Lecturer, Dr. Shervin Shirmohammadi, speaking on research topics relating to virtual social environments and multiplayer gaming. Going out beyond Second Life virtual world to a more generalized, universal view of virtual social environments, including technologies and problems getting us there. <b>Break (8:30pm to 8:45pm).</b> Setup for Geekfest. <b>Part 3 (8:45pm to 10:30pm). Oregon Virtual Universe Geekfest MMXI.</b> Recorded. [Eight] 10 minute presentations total. Open up scope to wider universe of virtual worlds and application areas excluding areas of adult/sexual or violent themes or portraying cultural/political insensitivity. Demonstrations and examples on not only Second Life but other virtual worlds being applied in areas which might include engineering, professional, commercial, entertainment, industry, education, communication, social networking, and beyond. Intended to potentially broaden the discussion to a wider range of ideas the virtual world technology is or could be effectively applied to. <b>Shutdown (10:45pm)</b> Pick the place up and pack it all up. <b>Clear out (11pm).

update Calagator::Event 1250461844 Westside Proggers - VoteFair ranking: Math-based voting power for the 99% Roll back

description Just-released open-source software that implements VoteFair ranking is now available to help us reach higher levels of voting fairness. You do voting when you click on Google search results, and you use voting results when you view the star rating of an Amazon product. Now learn how voting really works, how it is usually miscalculated -- intentionally in the case of elections -- and how it can be done to fully extract the wisdom in a group. Learn the math behind the puppet strings that connect politicians to the biggest campaign contributors. (Partial spoiler: The biggest unfairness is hidden in primary elections.) Also learn the math that eventually will cut those puppet strings. Along the way you will learn that there are different kinds of popularity. Presenter: Richard Fobes, author of *The Creative Problem Solver's Toolbox* and *Ending The Hidden Unfairness In U.S. Elections*, developer of the Dashrep programming language and the software negotiation tool at www.NegotiationTool.com. This event is a meeting of the Westside Proggers, a group of language-agnostic programmers who like to talk about pioneering new frontiers in software. Please RSVP (and reserve slices of free pizza) at the Westside Proggers forum on Google. → Just-released open-source software that implements VoteFair ranking is now available to help us reach higher levels of voting fairness.

Laurence Dunn is Chief Engineer NMHG Inc. a Global Leader for company Innovation. He has spent 40 years in Automotive Electronics, and the past 4 Years working on Fuel Cell and Li-Ion Projects for Forklifts. He is a committee member for UL 2580 “Standards for Batteries for use in Electric Vehicles”. “Automotive Technology - The Next Generation Drive Systems” Bob Simpson, CTO of EVDrive, will speak on how pure electric vehicles can meet or exceed the performance of internal combustion powered vehicles when powered by the right batteries in the right quantity and in the right location with the right secret sauce and systems integration to pull it all together. This presentation will discuss the design and development of electric vehicle drive systems. It will cover: ** Battery cell technology ** Motor technology ** Power sources and impact to grid, ** Comparative cost of operation and service, ** Solution to Range anxiety with electric vehicles Bob Simpson is the CTO and Drive System Engineer for EVDrive Inc. He also has been employed since 1977 at Tektronix as a Sr. HW Design Engineer. In 2008 he designed and fabricated a full performance electric conversion of a BMW 325i. Elimination of fuel use and it's emissions was the goal but without sacrifice of performance OR economy. See www.evdrive.com for extensive build diaries. “Agile Manufacturing: The WIKISPEED 100 mpg car" Joe Justice, CEO of Seattle-based Wikispeed will speak about Wikispeed, an “open source” project, developing vehicles using principles from modular, lean, agile software development. The gas-powered cars, evolved from Wikispeed's entry in the Progressive Automotive X-Prize, are designed to be inexpensive, safe, efficient and fast -- made of aluminum extrusions and structural carbon fiber. Team WIKISPEED entered a $10 Million competition to produce road legal 100+ mpg cars. They built the impossible in three months. The WIKISPEED Team will talk about Agile practices applied to enormously speed up physical manufacturing. Joe Justice leads WIKISPEED, a team of 102 volunteers in 7 countries, and walks through how their 100 MPG road car was made possible through modular design, iterative development, and Agile project management. Joe takes a deep dive on exactly how a 100 mpg can be prototyped, validated, and brought to market by "using less stuff" and extremely quickly. Joe will use the example and of the design and development of their revolutionary 100 mpg, gasoline powered, four-seat car with a target price of $17,995. This ground breaking work expands the agile process to design and manufacturing of the car. The talk will provide tools and take-aways for engineers and executives, in manufacturing and software, looking to improve their processes. New professionals and students can see examples of the value found in pairing, prioritized backlog driven development, and extreme programming, as they see the methodology jump from software teams to research, manufacturing, and product engineering. Joe Justice is a Seattle-area lean-software consultant and entreprenerd, and a registered automotive manufacture since 2007. In 2010, Joe’s X Prize team, WIKISPEED, tied for 10th place in the mainstream class of the Progressive Insurance Automotive X Prize, a $10 million challenge for 100+ MPGe automobiles. Joe has spoken on social web application development, project methodology, and agile best practices to audiences at Denver University, University of California Berkley, Google, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Rotary International, and others.
