  • DEWCOM 2018: The 3rd International Workshop on Dew Computing

    Hilton Toronto / Markham Suites Conference Center and Spa, Meeting Room Elm 1., 8500 Warden Avenue, Markham, Canada L6G 1A5

    Dew computing is a new computing model appeared after the wide acceptance of cloud computing. While cloud computing uses centralized servers to provide various services, dew computing uses on-premises computers to provide decentralized, cloud-friendly, and collaborative micro services to end-users. Dew computing is an on-premises computer software-hardware organization paradigm in the cloud computing environment, which is complementary to cloud computing. The key features of dew computing are that on-premises computers provide functionality independent of cloud services and they also collaborate with cloud services. This year, DEWCOM 2018 will be held at the same venue with the 28th Annual International Conference on Computer Science and Software Engineering (CASCON 2018). One of the goals of this arrangement is for Dew Computing researchers to exchange ideas with industry partners. Welcome researchers, professionals, and students currently working in any areas to participate this event and to be pioneers of this new research area. Day & Time: October 29th – 30th, 2018 Organizers: IEEE Computer Society Dew Computing Special Technical Community (DewCom STC), IEEE Toronto WIE Location: Hilton Toronto / Markham Suites Conference Center and Spa, Meeting Room Elm 1. 8500 Warden Avenue, Markham, Canada L6G 1A5 Parking voucher is available upon request.

  • IEEE Humber Programming Session #3 Fall 2018 Series

    Humber College North Campus, Room F321

    This is a series of programming sessions lead by instructor Andew Rudder designed to prepare our IEEE at Humber student branch for future coding challenges such as IEEE Xtreme. These sessions will be held at Humber College and will be interactive so please bring a laptop with you. Over the 6 weeks we will be practicing logic questions while learning new coding techniques from sorting to data structures. The sessions will also be open to questions and student ideas. Day & Time: Friday November 16th, 2018 5:00 p.m. ‐ 7:00 p.m. Speaker: Andew Rudder Secretary, IEEE at Humber Student Branch Organizers: IEEE Toronto WIE, Humber Student Branch Location: Humber College North Campus, Room F321 Contact: IEEE Humber Abstract: We will be having our 3rd programming session! The session will be held in F312, in one of the hive rooms. As usual donuts will be served! This week we will be practicing what we learned in the first couple of sessions. So if you haven’t attended the first 2 sessions, this is your chance to catch up! Andrew Rudder and Robert Lengyel will be there to assist us when needed, but this will be more about the group helping each other. The first 2 weeks we covered pointers, structs, link lists, and practiced some logic problems with loops and functions. This Google drive link has all of the documents and coding files we utilized during the sessions. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1JWns0X22mWdXAyJdGHH_pc0kRNG0pM12 And here is a good video on structs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5pA7RvvQDg

The session will be held in F312, in one of the hive rooms. Please let us know if you can attend. Due to the popularity and interest in these sessions, we will be extending these sessions to 3 hours from now on. Last week we practiced with Link Lists but asked everyone to try and finish a complete link list with these functions by this Friday: createNode addFront printList AddLast deleteFront deleteLast I attached a sample of a link list with only the first three functions. At the beginning of the next session we will answer any lingering link lists questions, and Andrew Rudder will go over the advantages and disadvantages of using a link list. Also, Robert Lengyel will be talking about vectors and strings. With our remaining time we will be continuing to explore steganography.

Snacks will be served! Last week we reviewed Link lists and the key differences & uses between Link-Lists and Arrays. We then covered vectors in depth. And then, we went further with stenography with a demonstration of an LSB bitmap encoder. Sample code for this encoder is located in week 4 of this google drive: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1JWns0X22mWdXAyJdGHH_pc0kRNG0pM12 This week we will continue exploring stenography, practice with vectors, and take a deeper look into strings.
