description nil BIG DATA IN THE REAL WORLD Big. Fast. Intelligent. Three words that define the future of data. Structure Data is bringing together the world’s top computer scientists, software executives and business users to discuss how advances in data technology are already reshaping our world—and why it’s only the beginning. This March, learn the real promise of big data. At Structure Data we’ll explore… How artificial intelligence and machine learning are already touching our lives, and where they’ll go next. Now that “big” isn’t enough, what is the future of data-management software? How the world’s most innovative companies are using data to keep users happy and revenue flowing. Why the Internet of Things is making us rethink how we build products and manage data. The state of cybersecurity and whether advanced data analysis can really help thwart attacks. The secrets to selling enterprise software in a world where open source and cloud computing are the new normal. How the biggest names in media are growing readership – and building brands – around data. The democratization of data analysis, from next-generation visualization machine learning APIs. Business use cases of data across multiple industries.

description We'll have pizza & beer starting at 6pm, so stop by early if you want to have dinner and socialize before the presentations. # PRESENTATIONS at 7pm ### Sam Livingston-Gray: Cucumbers Have Layers: A Love Story Cucumber sucks. Features are hard to write and constantly break when the UI changes. Step definitions are annoying to create and a freaking nightmare to maintain. And Cucumber suites take for-EVER to run, because you have to wait for a web browser. Except... [almost] none of that is actually true. After years of making awful messes with Cucumber, I finally found a way to use it that worked well, and a project I couldn't have done without it. I'd like to show you one way to use Cucumber that can be elegant, powerful, expressive, and—believe it or not—fast. ### Nick Urban A talk about refactoring, and about how to write beautiful, readable Ruby in general. # After presentations we'll have more socializing time. # Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer, pizza & snacks this month! # ARRIVING BY BIKE? Cyclists are welcome to park their bikes in the New Relic office. Bikes are not allowed in the building lobby, however, and must use the freight elevator. To get your bike up to the 29th floor, enter the building's parking lot by going down the ramp at 5th and Pine. Go past the booth -- no need to pick up a ticket -- and turn right. Go straight until you almost run into the elevator lobby, then go right again. On the back side of the elevator block you'll see a beat up pair of double doors marked "freight elevator." You can get up by buzzing in with the intercom, and saying you're here for New Relic. Ride on up to the 29th floor, you'll easily find the bike parking. <em>ABOUT THE GROUP: The Portland Ruby Brigade, also known as pdxruby and pdx.rb, is a user group for Ruby programmers in the Portland, Oregon area. The group welcomes all programmers interested in the language and its implementations, tools, libraries and frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails. The group has been meeting since August 2002 for presentations, demos and discussions. Every month 35-75 people come together to share their knowledge, projects and enthusiasm for Ruby. If you'd like to present or have a topic you'd like discussed, please post to the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/pdxruby">mailing list</a>.

description We'll have pizza & beer starting at 6pm, so stop by early if you want to have dinner and socialize before the presentations. # PRESENTATIONS at 7pm ### Sam Livingston-Gray: Cucumbers Have Layers: A Love Story Cucumber sucks. Features are hard to write and constantly break when the UI changes. Step definitions are annoying to create and a freaking nightmare to maintain. And Cucumber suites take for-EVER to run, because you have to wait for a web browser. Except... [almost] none of that is actually true. After years of making awful messes with Cucumber, I finally found a way to use it that worked well, and a project I couldn't have done without it. I'd like to show you one way to use Cucumber that can be elegant, powerful, expressive, and—believe it or not—fast. # After presentations we'll have more socializing time. # Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer, pizza & snacks this month! # ARRIVING BY BIKE? Cyclists are welcome to park their bikes in the New Relic office. Bikes are not allowed in the building lobby, however, and must use the freight elevator. To get your bike up to the 29th floor, enter the building's parking lot by going down the ramp at 5th and Pine. Go past the booth -- no need to pick up a ticket -- and turn right. Go straight until you almost run into the elevator lobby, then go right again. On the back side of the elevator block you'll see a beat up pair of double doors marked "freight elevator." You can get up by buzzing in with the intercom, and saying you're here for New Relic. Ride on up to the 29th floor, you'll easily find the bike parking. <em>ABOUT THE GROUP: The Portland Ruby Brigade, also known as pdxruby and pdx.rb, is a user group for Ruby programmers in the Portland, Oregon area.

create Calagator::Event 1250469462 Galois tech talk: Individual and Group Decision-making in Open Environments from an Ecological Point of View Roll back

description nil abstract: Animal movement is driven by responses to both social and non-social factors of the environment. Research across species shows that animals do not make decisions based solely on present information, e.g., at time t, but on an integrated assessment of information over recent time, e.g., t-1, t-2, etc. This raises the conundrum of how to relate distributions of animals (or humans) to conditions of the environment since prior individual experiences, possibly to unobserved conditions, contribute to the behaviors observed. I use a rich animal and environmental data set to harness and integrate the broad spectrum of behavioral research and construct a theoretical platform for describing the observed distributions of species populations. My work in the aquatic, terrestrial, and aerial environments falls into two categories, (i) better managing civil infrastructure that impacts animal movement and (ii) developing/evaluating computational abstractions of environmental sensing and individual decision-making to inform the engineering design of distributed systems in unbounded, open field environments. In the aquatic realm, I’ll share research suggesting that water acceleration “shapes” the individual movement trajectories of juvenile salmon near hydropower dams. Then, I’ll discuss how I am building off this research to understand Sonoran Pronghorn that can interfere with military training activities in the Arizona desert. Lastly, I’ll discuss bird flocking as a biological network that can inform the design of fast, light, mobile, compact, and collapsible systems (e.g., geospatial sensors) that are resilient to attack and can quickly hide. bio: R.

Why should you want to use one? After all, setting your own websocket server is easy with Node JS and other server platforms. In this session we’ll talk about what a Data Stream Network really gives you and how it can turbo charge your software as both mobile and IoT go through tremendous growth over the next five years. *Josh Marinacci: Speaker, O’Reilly author, and recovering engineer. Josh is the head of developer evangelism at PubNub. He previously did research at Nokia, evangelized webOS at Palm, and built many graphical things at Sun (but not Oracle). He works from home in Eugene, Oregon.* **› Doors will open at 5:30 for a 30-minute networking happy half-hour! The food, beer and drinks are provided by Bellagios and New Relic. The presentation will begin right at 6p.** › Stay tuned for the latest developments and updates on this and upcoming events by joining our Meetup group, [New Relic FutureTalks PDX](http://www.meetup.com/New-Relic-FutureTalks-PDX/), and following us on Twitter @newrelic. › FutureTalk is brought to you by **New Relic** in collaboration with **[TAO](http://www.techoregon.org)**
