Moorpark College CS Advisory Committee
Dean Lisa Miller and the Moorpark College CS and CNSE departments invite Computer Science professionals to participate in our yearly Advisory Committee meeting for the Computer Science and Computer Network Systems Engineering departments. The purpose is to reach out to the community around Moorpark College in order to gain your insight and feedback as to what our programs are doing and what they should be doing.
We will begin the meeting by reviewing what our programs are doing and the future plans we have. We then ask that you, who will teach/employ Moorpark students, give us your feelings as to what we should be preparing our students for at the community college level. (This level is the first two years of a bachelor’s degree and/or job training.) What are the trends you see developing that you want students to learn? If you already employ/teach our students, what are we doing right and what can we improve on?
This should be a one hour meeting (until 8 PM). However, if we wish to, we can certainly go beyond this time if you feel that the discussion merits it.
Thank you for considering attending. If you know others who you feel should be at this meeting, please do not hesitate to ask them to contact me. I also ask that you please RSVP to me. We will supply parking passes.
WHAT: Moorpark College CS/CNSE Advisory Committee Meeting
WHEN: Monday March 28 at 7 PM
WHERE: Academic Center Conference Room 221 on the Moorpark Campus
Thank you,

“Ten Things about 10 Gigabit Ethernet”
Filed under: Communications, Computer, Events, Networks
When product tester David Newman recently compared 10-gigabit data center switches from six leading vendors, he found that “switching” and “data center switching” are two very different things.
Tuesday, 9 February 2010, Newman will highlight some of these differences, including new IEEE mechanisms to converge storage and data networks; new features to support not only virtual servers but also virtual network devices; and new redundancy protocols to boost uptime. Of course, high performance remains a key requirement. Test results reveal some surprises when it comes to moving both unicast and multicast traffic.
About the Speaker
Network Test founder David Newman has more than 20 years’ experience with network design and performance benchmarking. He is a frequent speaker at industry conferences and an active participant in the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force). Newman has conducted numerous tests of network infrastructure and security devices for equipment makers, large enterprises and trade publications such as Network World and Light Reading.
Newman is the author of RFCs 2647 and 3511, the IETF specifications for firewall performance testing, as well as RFC 4814 on the contents of test traffic. Prior to founding Network Test, Newman served for nearly 10 years as director of lab testing for Data Communications magazine. Newman is a graduate of The Johns Hopkins University and New York University

The talk is free and open to the public. Location is ITT Force Protection Systems in Thousand Oaks; see directions and details:

Heterogeneous Sensor Networks: A Bio-Inspired Overlay Architecture
Wednesday, 10 February 2010, Jerry Burman, Sr. Research Scientist, Teledyne Scientific Company presents a look into sensor networks being developed for the military. The Army currently employs heterogeneous unattended ground sensors (UGSs) using a sparse deployment to maximize coverage, minimize pilferage and to monitor terrain bottlenecks. A team consisting of Teledyne Scientific Company, the University of California at Santa Barbara and the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) is developing technologies in support of automated data exfiltration from heterogeneous battlefield sensor networks as part of a US Army contract with the Institute for Collaborative Biotechnologies (ICB).
The ICB program is developing a new system consisting of novel bio-inspired software algorithms for autonomous operations that will leverage proven research to monitor sensor networks from extended ranges, that will collect data in a timely fashion, that will collaboratively control the motion of a sparse network of collectors (e.g. unmanned aerial vehicles) using bio-inspired sampling, that will accurately detect and localize field events and will fuse and classify sensed data. A new bio-inspired event discovery technique will enable fusion of sensor observations at low signal-to-noise ratio without requiring a prior model for the event signature;this is a first step towards sensor networks that are capable of learning.
About the Speaker
Jerry Burman works as a senior research scientist at Teledyne Scientific Company in Thousand Oaks, CA in the Information Science Division. He is the program manager and contributing scientist for a team of researchers in support of the development of advanced bio-inspired systems and sensor networks used to support US Army Research Labs through the Institute of Collaborative Biotechnologies at UCSB. Jerry is a graduate from UCLA with advanced degrees in Mathematics, System Science Engineering and attended a PhD program at Stanford University. He has over a dozen publications and six patents in image and information processing.
10 Gigabit Ethernet
Filed under: Communications, Computer, Events, Networks
On Tuesday, 8 December 2009, Robert Jadon talks about the future direction of Ethernet technologies. The is a joint meeting hosted by the Buenaventura Communication and the Microwave Technology Societies.
Gigabit Ethernet is a ubiquitous interconnect that constantly affects our lives. As applications like cloud computing and video become a part of our daily lives, existing infrastructure becomes more and more strained. 10 Gigabit Ethernet has gained traction in metro and data center applications, and continues to proliferate with the 10/100/1000 Ethernet structure in place. The presentation will cover 10 Gigabit Ethernet, how it has evolved, and how it is being implemented today.
About the Speaker
Robert Jadon is a technology executive with roots in product management, sales and operations. He began his career as an associate at IVC, a seed stage venture capital fund focused on investment in optical networking and nanotechnology. Afterwards, he continued to Micro Memory, which developed solutions for network storage and embedded real-time applications. Micro Memory was acquired by VMETRO in 2007, where Robert continued on as a Product Manager. In 2008, VMETRO was acquired by Curtiss Wright (NYSE: CW), where Robert assumed product management responsibilities for all FPGA products. He recently left Curtiss Wright to pursue a startup opportunity, and is a member of the Tech Coast Angels.
