- GNU Make Feb 15, 2007 from 12:40 PM to 02:00 PM — by Tom Fogal
- Tom Fogal and the UNH ACM will present the basics of GNU Make. Make is a tool to control the compilation of software based on the source files which compose it. It is the standard utility for building software on POSIX platforms, popular for the ability to avoid costly compilation of files which have not changed. We will discuss the algorithms behind Make as well as the basic format of a makefile, showing how you can use it to build your software quickly and easily.
- Examining the Cyber Capabilities of Islamic Terrorist Groups Mar 27, 2007 from 12:40 PM to 02:00 PM — UNH Nesmith Hall, Room 329, — by Tom Fogal
- Islamic terrorist groups have used combinations of ancient guerrilla warfare tactics and advanced technologies to carry out their goals. They have shown themselves to be practitioners of unconventional warfare by staging operations around the globe against high-visibility, high-value targets, using very small teams, producing dramatic results with relatively little expenditure, all without ever engaging in direct battlefield attacks against an opposing military force.
- Computational issues modeling the magnetosphere Feb 27, 2007 from 12:40 PM to 02:00 PM — UNH Nesmith Hall, Room 329, — by Tom Fogal
- J. Raeder of SSC/UNH will discuss the computational limitations in modeling the earth's magnetosphere. The magnetosphere surrounds Earth and shields it from the solar wind and energetic particle radiation originating from the sun and the cosmos. Understanding and predicting Earth's geospace environment, now called `Space Weather', has become increasingly important over the past decades because of the possibly harmful effects on assets like communications satellites, and the risks it poses to human activity in space.
