NJ Computer Chapter:
Computational Support for Dynamic
Parallel/Distributed Applications
On
Monday, January 24th, 2005,
the IEEE North Jersey Section Computer Chapter will host a presentation titled “Computational
Support for Dynamic Parallel/Distributed Applications” by Manish Parashar.
About the Talk
Adaptive and interactive simulations yield highly
advantageous ratios for cost/accuracy and can enable accurate solutions to
realistically model complex physical phenomenon. However their efficient implementation on
widely distributed, highly heterogeneous and dynamic execution environments
such as the computational grid presents significant challenges in computer/computational
science. In this talk Manish will
present computer science solutions that enable efficient and scalable
implementations of these applications. Specifically, Manish will address
distributed and dynamic data-management, adaptive load-balancing and runtime
management, interactive monitoring and control.
About the Speaker
Manish Parashar (M'89-SM'03) is Associate Professor
of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rutgers University, where he also is
director of the Applied Software Systems Laboratory. He received a BE degree in Electronics and
Telecommunications from Bombay University, India in 1988, and MS and PhD
degrees in Computer Engineering from Syracuse University in 1994. He has received the NSF CAREER Award (1999)
and the Enrico Fermi Scholarship from Argonne National Laboratory (1996). His current research interests include
autonomic computing, parallel, distributed and grid computing, networking,
scientific computing, and software engineering.
Manish is a member of the executive committee of the
IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Parallel Processing (TCPP), part
of the IEEE Computer Society Distinguished Visitor Program (2004-2006), and a
member of ACM. He is also the co-founder
of the IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC). Manish has co-authored over 130 technical
papers in international journals and conferences, has co-authored/edited 5
books/proceedings, and has contributed to several others in the area of
parallel and distributed computing.
All Welcome!

NJ Consultants' Network:
Marketing Ideas Workshop
On February
24, 2005, the IEEE Consultants’ Network of Northern NJ (CNNNJ) will
host a workshop on Marketing Ideas. The
speaker will be Peter K. Schutz, P.E.
About the Talk
Marketing is one of the
things that technical consultants find the hardest to do. One of the primary functions of CNNNJ is to
make the services provided by CNNNJ members visible and attractive to potential
customers, for example, by the existing periodic mailing and through the web
site. What other marketing efforts could
CNNNJ make? We'll discuss our plans, but
also ask what do consultants think is the most important thing that their
prospective customers should be made aware of?
Some examples:
·
"Optimizing efficiency through use of
technical consultants"
·
"Using technical consultants to your
advantage"
·
"Proper use of consultants for small
technology businesses"
·
"How to find the right consultant"
·
"Effective outsourcing"
Join our workshop and
give us your ideas so that CNNNJ can provide you the best value for your
membership dollars!
About the Speakers
The workshop will be led by Peter Schutz, Vice
Chairperson of the CNNNJ executive committee.
Peter is a mechanical engineer who has been working as an independent
consultant for the last 20 years. He
specializes in the development of new products, especially in the areas of
medical and laboratory equipment, instrumentation, prototypes, and special
machinery. Some of his areas of
technical expertise include: electronics packaging, fluid systems, and thermal
analysis. Peter has a BSME from Lehigh
University and a MSME from NJIT. He survived his first year of consulting by
eating rice. He has been a member of
CNNNJ for the last 6 years.
All CNNNJ members and visitors are welcome to
participate and help make this a successful program!
All Welcome!
Everyone welcome.
No registration needed. Free
admission.
About the Consultants’ Network
Founded in 1992, the IEEE
Consultants Network of Northern NJ encourages and promotes the use of
independent technical consultants by business and industry.

Section PACE & GOLD:
Engineers Meet:
First: Thanks to David DuPont for helping with our
last December PACE meeting and to Bob Glynn and Paul Lorenzen, all of Hepco,
Inc for speaking to our members. Bob and
Paul did an excellent and very professional job of addressing the subject of
Contract Engineering.
They
provided a generic and informative presentation. Once again I had to encourage members to
leave by the nine o'clock whistle. The meeting was friendly and high in
quality. I believe all had an enjoyable
evening. Hepco is a contract firm in Rutherford,
NJ, and they can all be reached at www.hepcoinc.com.
I owe you guys.
Thanks, Richard
F. Tax, PACE Chair.
January
Meeting & Social
On Wednesday,
January 12, 2005 the North Jersey Section Professional Activities
Committee and Graduates of the Last Decade will host a meeting to network,
socialize, enjoy refreshments and discuss the professional side of engineering.
All will have an opportunity to present their views
about the profession, the job market, review past meetings and discuss future
issues for PACE.
All
Welcome!
Members and students from other professional
societies and engineering disciplines are always welcome. We now include members from IEEE, ASME and
AEA. For more information about these
