description nil → OHSU Center for Health & Healing Room 3171 (Conference Room 1A) (location details at end) ============================================== Main talk: "Spatial Analysis with R" Ben Stabler Lightning talk: "R Therapy" Everyone Social hour (following talks): Le Hana Japanese Bar & Grill 3500 SW River Parkway ============================================== Talk descriptions: "Spatial Analysis with R" Ben will share some recent work he did using R for spatial data visualization. He will discuss how to read shapefiles and rasters into R, how to join and process data related to those shapes, and how to generate dynamic animated map products. "R Therapy" Do you have a problem that you are trying to solve with R that you just can't get to work? A model you can't seem to specify? A graph you can't tweak? A dataset you can't tame? An interface you can't bridge? A bug you can't trap? Well, try some group theRapy. Bring your laptop, problem, and/or dataset and we will try to tackle the problems you are having as a group. If there are multiple problems, we can break into smaller groups. Don't have any current unresolved problems of your own? Then maybe you can help someone else, or at least learn from their problems before they are yours. ============================================== Speaker bios: Ben Stabler is a Supervising Modeler at Parsons Brinckerhoff. Parsons Brinckerhoff "provides strategic consulting, planning, engineering, and program and construction management services to both public and private sector clients ... in multiple market sectors, including transportation, power, buildings/facilities, water/wastewater, environmental, and urban/community development." ============================================== Location information: OHSU's Center for Health & Healing South Waterfront district http://www.ohsu.edu/xd/about/visiting/locations/chh.cfm 3303 SW Bond Avenue Between Moody Ave. and Bond Ave., Whitaker St. and Gibbs St. At the base of the Portland Aerial Tram Streetcar stops: SW Moody & Gibbs (coming from downtown) OHSU Commons (heading to downtown) On-street parking available Bicycle parking around Gibbs and Bond near base of Tram Room 3171 (Conference Room 1A) Take elevator to the 3rd floor, follow signs to the Conference Center Le Hana 3500 SW River Parkway Corner of River Parkway and Curry Street One block south and one block east of the Center for Health & Healing

The community here in Eugene is small enough, that we'd rather have simply all software developers who are interested in hanging out and talking shop, etc. We try to have at least one presentation (whether 5 minutes or 1 hour) at each meetup, and if you have a topic you'd like to present, please post to the mailing list/Google Group.

create Calagator::Event 1250459355 Planning a social media strategy Roll back

description nil → Free Business Training, Portland “Transforming Customers into Raving Fans Through Social Media” Many successful companies are using social media to attract and convert leads, grow revenue, reduce marketing costs and even develop new products. Is YOUR business being left behind? Why Do Some Businesses Have Trouble With Social? 85% of companies have used Social Media and failed to see business results, while 10% use it and see their revenue soar. There are 3 primary reasons why businesses fail with their Social Media efforts: 1. The business has a siloed organizational structure. Social media can often blur the lines between customer service, sales, marketing and even R&D. Be open to change. 2. The business leaders think social media is nothing more than another marketing tactic. But this approach leads to pushy selling and inconsistent messaging and can turn off more business in the long-term. These new tools require a different mindset than traditional marketing. 3. The business leader mistakenly assumes that because many of the social channels are free that they are easy to use and so jump in without a strategy. After this doesn’t work, they conclude that social simply doesn’t work. The problem, however, was with the message, not the medium. Put YOUR Business in the Winning 10% Join Cinta Media Group for a free training to help your business thrive in the modern marketplace. You will walk away with clear actionable steps you can take. There will be time for Q&A at the end. Where & When Key Bank 1222 SW 6th Avenue Portland, OR 97204 Date: Thursday, October 21 at 12:30 PM

description nil → The monthly meeting of the Portland Perl Mongers peaker: Chad Granum Chad will give 2 shorter talks in a row. The first talk will deal with lists, what they are, how to use them. The second talk is a short presentation on several useful tools/utilities that started as part of the Fennec project but have been pulled out for general use. Practical Lists Chad will define what a list is and how it differs from an array. He will cover tools such as grep and map, as well as some List::Util functions. He will explain how you may start using lists in more places when you understand how they work. Utilities pulled from Fennec Fennec was a large undertaking, it also required implementing a few new ideas. Many of the new ideas are useful outside of the Fennec project. Chad will cover the following until he runs out of time: Exporter::Declare Method::Workflow Child Exodist::Util Devel::CallerStack

description nil → Galois is pleased to host the following tech talk. These talks are open to the interested public. Please join us! title: Fides: Remote Anomaly-Based Cheat Detection Using Client Emulation speaker: Prof. Wu-chang Feng time: 10:30am, Tuesday 19 October 2010 location: Galois Inc. 421 SW 6th Ave. Suite 300, Portland, OR,USA (3rd floor of the Commonwealth building) abstract: As a result of physically owning the client machine, cheaters in online games currently have the upper-hand when it comes to avoiding detection. To address this problem and turn the table on cheaters, this paper presents Fides, an anomaly-based cheat detection approach that remotely validates game execution. With Fides, a server-side Controller specifies how and when a client-side Auditor measures the game. To accurately validate measurements, the Controller partially emulates the client and collaborates with the server. This paper examines a range of cheat methods and initial measurements that counter them, showing that a Fides prototype is able to efficiently detect several existing cheats, including one state-of-the-art cheat that is advertised as undetectable. bio: Wu-chang Feng is currently an Associate Professor in the Intel Systems and Networking Laboratory at Portland State University where he leads a research group in networking and security. Wu-chang received his B.S. in 1992 from Penn State University and his M.S.E. and Ph.D. degrees in 1994 and 1999 from the University of Michigan. He was awarded the IEEE Communications Society 2003 William R. Bennett prize as well as one of four prizes recognizing the Best IBM Research Papers in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Math published in 2002.

description The theme of the meeting is the new features of Xcode 4. Brandon, Rich and I will be dividing them up; if anyone else wants to join in, just let me know! Everyone needs to be under the Apple NDA; the easiest way to do that is to sign up for the Mac or iOS developer program (the free registration is fine). A general Q&A session will follow the presentations, and then we will adjourn for beer. → Justin will be presenting on Animation (Xcode 4 has been postponed until the next developer preview is released).

description Distinguished IEEE Speaker: Zhensheng Zhang of Argon ST (formerly SDRC) <p> Date: Thursday, November 4, 2010<br/> Time: 6:00-8:00 PM<br/> </p> Place: Tektronix Conference Center (Bldg 38), 3025 SW Zworykin Ave, Beaverton, OR 97005 Agenda: 6:00 PM – Social 7:00 PM - Speaker In this talk, we present a high level overview on the recent development of the cognitive radios/dynamical spectrum access (DSA) techniques, focusing on the following areas: characteristics of the available bandwidth of the primary users, sensing technologies and sensing intervals to detect white spaces, spectrum allocation schemes (graph coloring, game theory, machine learning), tradeoff between spectrum/performance gain versus additional overhead used in implementing DSA. Some of tradeoff studies are presented in terms of price of anarchy, which is defined as the price that a decentralized system should pay for not being coordinated. We will also present a brief overview of the security issues associated with DSA networks, including communications, jamming/attacks and anti-jamming, standards activities in cognitive networks and current projects related to DSA. Biography: Dr. Zhensheng Zhang received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Dr. Zhang has over twenty years experience in design and analysis of network architecture, protocols and control algorithms. He is currently with Argon ST (formerly SDRC), Principal Scientist, Networking Research, serving as Principal Investigator for many Department of Defense (DOD) projects. He worked at Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies, and Columbia University, focusing on research and development in high speed networks and wireless networks. Dr. Zhang severed as Editor of IEEE Transaction on Wireless Communications from 2002 to 2006 and as Guest Editor for the IEEE JSAC special issue on Overlay Networks, 2003 and the Journal of Wireless Networks issue on multimedia wireless networks, 1996. He is an IEEE COMSOC distinguished lecturer (2010-2011) and will serve as IEEE Globecom 2012 Conference Technical Program Committee (TPC) Chair, to be held in Southern California. He has given many invited talks and tutorials on high speed networks and wireless networks at various conferences and institutes. → Distinguished IEEE Speaker: Zhensheng Zhang of Argon ST (formerly SDRC) <p> Date: Thursday, November 4, 2010<br/> Time: 6:00-8:00 PM<br/> </p> Place: Tektronix Conference Center (Bldg 38), 3025 SW Zworykin Ave, Beaverton, OR 97005 Agenda: 6:00 PM – Social 7:00 PM - Speaker Register here: http://meetings.vtools.ieee.org/meeting_registration/register/3373 In this talk, we present a high level overview on the recent development of the cognitive radios/dynamical spectrum access (DSA) techniques, focusing on the following areas: characteristics of the available bandwidth of the primary users, sensing technologies and sensing intervals to detect white spaces, spectrum allocation schemes (graph coloring, game theory, machine learning), tradeoff between spectrum/performance gain versus additional overhead used in implementing DSA.
