This characteristic led to the development of the Communicating Haskell Processes (CHP) libraries\, wh ich support imperative synchronous message-passing in Haskell. The core 'ch p' library provides basic message-passing\, concurrency and choice\, as wel l as integrated support for tracing. The 'chp-plus' library provides higher -level features such as process composition operators and behaviour combina tors. This talk provides an introduction to the two libraries and the progr amming style they engender -- as well as a brief look at the formal semanti cs underlying the libraries.

Hel ping organize meetings\, with program planning or peer review\, chairing co mmittees or being elected to the Board of Directors provides opportunities to learn and develop a robust professional network. Volunteering develops p roblem solving\, team work and leadership skills at a minimal cost. Innovat ion is enhanced by exposure to new and complementary technologies and profe ssional relationships that would not otherwise occur.\n\nJohn Hagel\, noted business writer and management consultant\, summarizes the benefits of soc ial capital and social networks: “… the focus of value creation is effectiv e participation in knowledge flows\, which are constantly being renewed. Fi nding ways to connect with people and institutions possessing new knowledge becomes increasingly important… The more your company or country can conne ct with relevant and diverse sources to create new knowledge\, the more it will thrive. And if you don’t\, others will.”\n\nAfter the presentation joi n us for a beer.\n\nSpeaker:\n\nJim Isaak is recently retired from Southern New Hampshire University.

Electricity advances develop mental factors such as small business development\, extended working hours\ , access to communications\, enhanced education levels and rural developmen t. Energy can improve life of millions. \n\nIn developing countries access to energy remains constrained by factors such as limited access to well ada pted affordable technology\, fragmented small markets\, prohibitive taxes a nd limited financial resources. On Dec 14th \, at the Copenhagen Climate c onference the Obama Administration announced a $350 million dollar initiati ve dubbed “Climate REDI” to promote clean energy technologies in developing countries. \n\nJoin us on March 17th for a discussion with our expert pa nel\, on what kind of innovations in products\, finance\, supply and servic e can ensure reliable & affordable energy to the billions of poor across th e world. \n\nOur 2 presenters Michael(Kipp) Baratoff\, Principal\, Equili brium Capital & Patrick Maloney\, Program Director\, Lemelson Foundation h ave been fully immersed in this space\, having been engaged with social ent repreneurs over the course of their careers. Lemelson Foundation awarded an energy grant to Selco India for it’s Incubation Center and Innovation Depa rtment to develop new products and new business models to solve key problem s for energy consumers. The SELCO Solar Light Private Limited (SELCO India) is already an important provider of solar systems and cook stoves in south ern India\, with products that allow rural families to increase their house hold income while reducing the environmental and health risks of higher-cos t kerosene lamps and inefficient stoves. \n\nOur event organizer\, TiE Oreg on Clean Energy SIG chair\, Ravi Sinha\, is the Chairman of Choice Solar In dia Pvt Ltd.\, company engaged in creative distribution of energy solution s to India's marginalized residents. \n\n Bill Campbell\, our moderator for the evening is also a Principal at Equlibrium as well as a TiE Oregon Char ter Member and Board Member. \n\nThey will bring an insight into proble ms\, economics\, delivery & growth of energy solutions. \n\n This event is also a continuation of our theme “Serving the 6 Billion” on which we launch ed TiE Oregon in 2007.

Pizza at 6:30\, meeting at 7.\n\n Talk: "Exploratory Testing: Now In Session"\n \nThe agile nature of explora tion and the ability of testers to rapidly apply their skills and experienc e make exploratory testing a widely used test approach—especially when time is short. But exploratory testing is often dismissed by project managers w ho assume that it is not reproducible\, measurable\, or accountable. If you share these concerns\, a solution may lie in a technique called Session-Ba sed Test Management (SBTM)\, developed by Jon and his brother James specifi cally to address these problems. In SBTM\, testers are assigned areas of a product to explore\, and testing is time boxed in "sessions" which have mis sion statements called “charters” to create a meaningful and countable unit of work. Jon discusses—and you can practice—the skills of exploration and demonstrates a freely available\, open source tool to help manage your expl oratoration.\n\nSpeaker Bio: Jon Bach has been in testing for 14 years\, 12 of which has been as a manager. His experience includes managing teams at Microsoft\, HP and LexisNexis\, and is currently a managing consultant for Quardev\, Inc. -- a Seattle test lab. He speaks frequently about test man agement and exploratory testing\, and is the co-inventor (with his brother James) of Session-Based Test Management. He’s also written a few articles for testing magazines as well as a listed co-author of a Microsoft Patterns and Practices book on acceptance testing (available for free online).

Tr aditionally\, it has been difficult for programmers to take advantage of th e multi-core systems with their ever-multiplying number of cores. But that is all about to change with JSR-166y. Targeted for Java 7\, scheduled for r elease in late 2010\, JSR-166y adds a lightweight task framework known as F orkJoin (FJ) to the Java platform.\n\nSteve Dohrmann will be discussing the fundamentals of parallel Java programming. His talk will include the use o f Java threads\, an overview of the JSR-166y (ForkJoin) package\, and some points on higher-level parallel programming models. If you're a Java develo per\, you can't afford to miss this opportunity to learn about the future o f Java in a parallel world. And developers on other environments will find the overview of parallel application development and solid parallel algorit hm fundamentals to be valuable in building systems that scale and provide c ompetitive differentiation for your solutions.\n\nMeet the Speaker: Steve D ohrmann\, Software Engineer\, Intel\nSince joining Intel in 1994\, Steve ha s worked in a variety of research\, advanced development\, and product grou ps within the company.
