create Calagator::Event 1250458728 Tech Talk: Categories are Databases Roll back

description nil → Galois is pleased to host the following tech talk. These talks are open to the interested public. Please join us! IMPORTANT: Please note that this talk is Thursday. title: Categories are Databases presenter: Dr. David Spivak time: 10:30 am, 03 June 2010, Thursday location Galois Inc. 421 SW 6th Ave. Suite 300, Portland, OR, USA (3rd floor of the Commonwealth building) abstract: Category theory is a powerful language for organizing layers of abstraction in all areas of mathematics. Databases are powerful tools for organizing information of all sorts. Whereas categories are often considered hopelessly abstract, databases are often considered horrifically mundane. Thus it is either strange or fitting that, mathematically speaking, categories and databases are the same concept. In this talk I’ll show how to turn any database into a category and any category into a database. I’ll also discuss functors and how they may be useful for issues of data migration and merging. bio: David Spivak graduated with a PhD in mathematics from UC Berkeley in 2007; his thesis used higher category theory to fix an old problem in geometry. From 2007 to the present, he have been a postdoc at the University of Oregon in the Math Department. During this time, his focus has moved toward the idea of using category theory to understand information and communication. This summer, he will become a mathematics postdoc at MIT for three years, focusing on information and communication from a category-theoretic perspective.

And the usual geekery you'd expect from a programmer's group. We're out on the west side but all are welcome. It seems a lot of regular attendees have OSBridge presentations to do, so this month we'll show our presentation prototypes and get feedback.

description nil → Early registration ends for DFRWS 2010 digital forensics conference. Register before this date to save $75. The conference itself runs August 2-4. About the Conference: The annual DFRWS conference allows leading digital forensics researchers from government, industry, and academia to present their work and results to fellow researchers and practitioners. Many of the most cited digital forensics papers have been presented at DFRWS and the annual challenge has spawned research in important areas. Initial results and tool prototypes are also presented during the Works in Progress and demo sessions. The conference typically has about 100 people and is therefore small enough so that attendees meet each other and can interact with the speakers. A tradition of DFRWS as been its casual and interactive atmosphere where break out sessions exist to discuss topics related to the presentations. There are also opportunities to interact during the welcome reception and banquet. After the banquet, attendees can put their forensics skills to the test when they form teams to participate in the annual Forensics Rodeo, which is a challenge that requires participants to analyze data and answer questions.

You can then apply this framework and the new ways of thinking presented in this course to make you and your organization more innovative, more competitive and ultimately more sustainable. Training Objectives: What You Will Learn * A whole systems perspective for considering sustainability * The Natural Step framework, including the four system conditions * The basic science underlying The Natural Step Framework * How the framework is used for decision making and strategic planning * Suggested ideas for applying the TNS framework in technology organizations * Resources for fresh ideas and assistance when you wonder what to do next * Through case studies, how organizations have benefited from implementing the framework
