Benefits of Attending
Biometrics Analytics, Big Data and Biometric-Enabled Intelligence— Next-Generation Capabilities and Opportunities
The proliferation of new collection devices, a range of new developments in recognition technologies, innovative approaches to sensor and data fusion, and the emergence of powerful analytic tools give defense, intelligence, homeland security, and law enforcement officials important new capabilities to carry out their missions. Now, experts are working on the ability to marry biometric information with intelligence artifacts and products from the non-biometric environment. Add to this the emergence of new “big data” tools, technologies and capabilities for analyzing largescale data inputs from multiple sources, and biometric-enabled intelligence promises to provide a powerful new means of analyzing and predicting risks from potential enemy actions in near-real time.
This outstanding symposium brings together the government and industry experts who are at the forefront of developing the next generation of analytics-based biometrics. They will provide you with a comprehensive picture of DoD, Homeland Security, FBI and Intelligence Community biometric and biometric data analytics plans, needs, technical challenges and emerging capabilities and opportunities.
What is the status and future of key Government biometric and biometric data analytics programs and initiatives?
How can we cope with, much less manage, the everincreasing volume of biometric inputs?
How can the large-scale analytics associated with “big data” help? What role will “the cloud” play?
What are the latest advances in biometric data analytics for dealing with the challenges in active identity authentication in mobile environments?
What are the prospects for on-demand identity intelligence? Rapid, real-time DNA analysis?
These and many other critical questions will be addressed during this important two-day event!

Why Become An Exhibitor
TWO AND A HALF DAYS IN FRONT OF THOUSANDS OF BUSINESS OWNERS
Based on Exhibitor AND Attendee feedback, people prefer focused based two and a half days of events.
Trade shows are one of the best ways to reach thousands of business owners face-to-face especially in the small public safety markets. Choose our event to get thousands of leads EACH AND EVERYDAY.
===============================================
Simple. Our/Your target market is a closely knit market, and in need of getting financial assistance from the expo and exhibitors alike. We take into serious consideration the fact that public safety companies do not have the luxury of being away from their office for more than two or three days, and departments definitely cannot be away long for the same reasons (even two and a half days is a lot to be away!). Therefore, it is essential that they are able to meet with you (the exhibitor) and attend valuable workshops and classes, gather information and provide valuable quotes to departments for your products around the country quickly and efficiently. Our philosophy is simple & powerful …and it works! That’s one of the many reasons why our attendance is so great.

GET MANY QUOTES AND INVOICES OUT TO ATTENDEES TO BE UTILIZED IN THEIR GRANT APPLICATIONS
GET EDUCATED IN HOW GRANTS ARE GOING TO BE UTILIZED FOR 2013
GET LISTED ON THE NEWEST GRANT APP FOR ANDROID/APPLE/WINDOWS 8 AND BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH DEPARTMENTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND CONTINUE TO PROVIDE QUOTES AND INVOICES EVEN AFTER THE 2013 APPLICATIONS ARE DUE.

===============================================
QUALIFIED & APPROVED EXHIBITORS
We here at Everyday Heroes Funding and Products Expo are focused on QUALITY EXHIBITORS AND NOT QUANTITY OF EXHIBITORS. We pride ourselves on showcasing companies that will help enhance business growth and success. Don’t be fooled by trade shows that suggest “Business As Usual”, which more than likely does not produce many sales from the same shows year after year. You are looking for quality attendees who will purchase your products/services, especially by utilizing Government Grant Funds.
More competition means LESS face-to-face time with YOU.

Digital Government Success: Meeting the Call for 21st Century Government
Today’s government customer, whether constituent or stakeholder, is increasingly mobile and digital savvy, and holds high expectations for smart, secure and effective online services. The effect on agency mission accomplishment is profound, and the pressures are compounding for leadership and program managers to have digital, information-centric and mobile-first thinking as service delivery strategies evolve.
Finding a clear path forward to accomplish digital government initiatives is not always easy and the challenges faced when working to overcome legacy thinking and technologies can be extraordinary. When embarking on digital government programs, many questions may arise:
Which services are included and how?
What information or data are used and in what format?
How do you measure effectiveness?
How do you remain flexible to meet evolving needs?
Join us for an exciting look at several unique and successful digital government initiatives and hear first-hand how your peers answered these questions. We’ll dive into what worked, as well as what challenges arose and how they were overcome.

Localizing Content: Accurate and Consistent Language Translation for Government
Localizing Content: Accurate and Consistent Language Translation for Government
As the need for both internal and external content to be provided in local languages has grown over the last few decades, U.S. government entities have continuously invested in technology that captures repetitive text and content to ensure uniformity across multiple channels. Maintaining quality and consistency while keeping the associated costs down has proven to be a constant challenge.
The continuous advancement of language technologies has evolved the government translation community. Kristen Shauger, North American Sales Director of SDL Language Technologies, will explain how these solutions can address the need to speak to everyone in their own language, as well as the challenges of translation productivity and consistency.

Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta made headlines around the world recently when he warned America was at risk of a “Cyber Pearl Harbor”. A stark comparison at first – Panetta’s words soon turned heads when devastating cyber attacks on American banks and newspapers exposed the vulnerabilities of U.S. computer networks. It came as no surprise when he announced the Department of Defense would pump $3billion annually into cyber security.
The threat against American computer systems is more prevalent than ever. The number of cyber attacks on American infrastructure has increased almost twentyfold in the last two years, while our preparedness for a large-scale attack on a scale from 1 to 10, “is around a 3”, according to CYBERCOM Commander General Keith Alexander.
IDGA’s Cyber Defense and Network Security Summit takes place just as the White House puts the finishing touches on the 2013 cybersecurity executive order and lays out the strategies and initiatives for the upcoming decade. Speakers from CYBERCOM, the Air Force, and Marine Corps will all share the latest cyber challenges and opportunities, while speakers from the Department of Homeland Security, National Security Agency and NATO will present on strategies for cyber intelligence sharing and real-time response to threats.
U.S. national cyber capabilities are in a state of transition and Cyber Defense and Network Security 2013 will set the stage for decision-makers to express requirements and listen to industry solution providers. Come join us and establish yourself as a key player in this burgeoning field!

National security is continuously being redefined as awareness of the cyberspace domain evolves. Cyber threats and challenges grow every day. Successfully defending our networks requires a team approach. With this in mind, the AFCEA Cyber Symposium will engage the key players, including the U. S. Government, the International Community, Industry and Academia, to discuss the development of robust cyberspace capabilities and partnerships.
The AFCEA International Cyber Symposium 2013 focuses on the critical missions of U.S. Cyber Command and the interface with Army Cyber Command, Marine Corps Forces Cyber Command, 10th U.S. Fleet Cyber Command, 24th Air Force Cyber, Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Coast Guard, DoD-CIO, National Security Agency (NSA), Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Academia, Industry partners. The operational theme "Defining Full Spectrum Global Cyberspace Operations" will explore the operational security of DoD and Industry Networks, Cyber Operations with Joint and Coalition partners, and discuss the training and development of the cyber workforce.
Due to sequestration and our desire to help enable Government and Military Employee participation, AFCEA International has updated its event attendance guidelines. Follow the link below to learn more:
Several Cyber Symposium sessions will help attendees sustain DoD 8570.01-M mandated certifications. Over the past several years, federal agencies have collectively agreed that the ever-changing threats associated with cyber security create the need for a continuous learning process to reduce risk to our national security. In response, industry certification bodies adopted a continuous education model to address these issues. AFCEA has partnered with Cypherpath, a cyber security training and education company, to launch a new Continuing Education Unit (CEU) program to train, manage and report relevant critical knowledge and skills-related activities required to meet DoD 8570.01-M requirements. Individuals must enroll in the CE Program, attend qualified sessions, obtain and submit validated documentation in order to earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Cyber Symposium attendees may receive CEUs for sessions designated (by a **) to support CE requirements for sustaining DoD 8570.01-M certifications. Please stop by the AFCEA booth to obtain a flyer with answers to frequently asked questions about CEUs.

General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule Contracting for In-House Counsel
General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule Contracting for In-House Counsel
Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits are now available for the Coalition’s General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule Contracting for In-House Counsel training scheduled for June 27, 2013. Attendees can earn 6 CLEs for the course with the Virginia State Bar.
The GSA Schedule, including the delegated VA Schedules, is a $50 billion contracting program that all federal agencies use to acquire commercial services and products. These multiple year, government-wide contracts cover professional services, information technology, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment and a vast array of commercial products.
Schedule contracts offer a huge market opportunity. Thousands of companies including both Fortune 500 companies and a vast number of small businesses have GSA/VA Schedule contracts. All federal agencies, and in some instances state agencies, can place orders against the contracts.
Of particular interest to in-house counsel, Schedule contracts have a pricing methodology, and disclosure requirements that are unique in federal government contracting. The contracts provisions must be correctly understood, managed and monitored to assure that your company realizes anticipated profits. Failure to do so can result in significant monetary, administrative, civil and even criminal penalties.
This seminar will provide information and tools to help you understand the GSA/VA Schedule contracting program and provide insightful legal advice to your in-house client.

Analytics, Utilities and the Future Grid
– Challenges and Opportunities –
The utility and grid analytics market is poised to explode over the next five years, with estimates that utilities will spend well over $1 billion per year in smart grid and other analytics capabilities by 2020. Analytics are seen as driving savings across the entire enterprise – from asset planning and management; to load balancing and management; transmission planning, management, maintenance and reconfiguration; resource distribution and renewables integration; demand anticipation and response; power grid management and modification; risk management; competitive pricing; and consumer energy reduction and savings. The ultimate goal is to achieve all this in as near real-time as possible, on the way to becoming an “intelligent utility.”
This outstanding symposium brings together the utility and industry experts who are shaping the future of the analytics-based organization. They will provide an in-depth examination of utility analytics needs and capabilities and a broad, reasoned perspective on what industry can provide, now and in the future.
What are the emerging lessons learned in utility analytics?
What are the potential pitfalls? How do you determine ROI and case success?
What are the infrastructure and technology requirements? How do you deal with system, sensor, smart meter, etc. information overload?
What role can “big data” play? How do you select appropriate big data applications? Develop use cases?
How can analytics facilitate IT/OT strategic and operational integration? How will analytics shape national smart grid R&D, rollout and evolution?
These and many other critical questions will be addressed during this important two-day event!

Overview
Early in the acquisition process, effective negotiating teams must agree upon the concept of which contractual approach they will use to drive the deal. ICN’s advanced training course SLA Lab: Results-Based Contracting helps you understand the difference between contracting for resources and contracting for results and shows you how to implement a “results deal”.
This “results versus resources” decision establishes which side of the bargaining table will bear the responsibility for the results you’re expecting from the deal. In a “results deal,” the vendor is responsible, while in a “resource deal,” it’s the customer.
In SLA Lab, you’ll gain an understanding of critical elements that can help you shift risk and responsibilities to the vendor and monitor ongoing compliance. These include:
A 10-step Service Level creation process
Contract and RFP Development tools for developing Service Levels
Corporate alignment—getting input & buy-in from stakeholders
Data gathering and measurement—a “how to” process and pitfalls to avoid
Document library—examples and tools for Service Levels
Handling of vendor ploys in Service Level areas
Internal teams—organizing customer stakeholders to make better Service Levels
Management policies and practices—getting critical management buy-in
Monitoring and compliance—ensuring agreed-to SLAs are followed
Performance reviews and escalation—how to solve Service Level disputes
Reconciliation strategies—how to balance Service Level debits & credits over time
Remedies and rewards—Motivating vendors to extraordinary performance
Results-based services—obtaining outcomes, not activities
Sample templates and forms—examples of Service Level contracting tools
Scorecards and Dashboards—examples of management reporting tools

Introduction
The NDIA is pleased to offer a workshop designed to identify ways in which Trusted Microelectronics can contribute to compliance with DoD Instruction 5200.44, Protection of Mission Critical Functions to Achieve Trusted Systems and Networks (TSN). The Trusted Suppliers Steering Group has organized the agenda for this half-day workshop to provoke an interactive exchange of ideas that can reduce defense systems vulnerabilities in the acquisition, operational, and sustainment phases. We will first hear from Government officials on their thinking behind the requirement for Trusted Microelectronics, followed by a moderated discussion on the challenges with the policy implementation from the Government program offices. Representatives from the Trusted Suppliers will be on hand to describe how they can address those challenges.
In recent years, various innovative EOR techniques that seek to maximise total reservoir recovery have gained renewed interest and attention. At the 2011 EORC held in Kuala Lumpur, leading industry experts emphasised on the potential for EOR techniques that promise to be more time efficient and cost effective, increase recovery process, and are environmentally sustainable.
Although a number of operators are investing heavily in this recovery method, the potential of EOR solutions has not been fully realised. It is imperative that the industry implement EOR projects now, in a fully integrated fashion – from studies to incorporating operational readiness, and project execution – with a greater sense of urgency. With this in mind, the conference is aptly themed “Delivering the Promise Now!”
This conference will provide a unique platform for global experts to share successes and lessons learned in evaluating and implementing a variety of EOR techniques.

The annual networking and trade platform for China's wind industry since 2003.
In recent years, China has identified wind energy as an important alternative power source to rebalance its energy mix. Supportive regulations and policies have been introduced to support this development. According to the World Wind Energy Association (WWEA), worldwide installed wind capacity reached 197GW in 2010. China alone added 19GW within one year, accounting for more than 50% of the world market and becoming the center of the international wind industry. Meanwhile, China has become the world’s most important wind generation equipment manufacturing nation and is making a great contribution to the development of clean energy worldwide.
Government-controled organizations and manufacturers hold a major role in this development, with state-run power producers and China Electricity Council members such as Guodian, Datang, Huaneng and Huadian responsible for about 90% of the investment in newly installed wind capacities.
Wind Power China (WPC - formerly Wind Power Asia), jointly organized by the China Electricity Council and Koelnmesse, is an essential event for China’s vibrant wind power market. Every year since 2003, the event brings together leading players from technology, services, finance and government, and provides a much needed platform addressing key issues, future developments, and enabling business.

The authoritative networking and trade platform for electric vehicles and charging facilities in China
eMobility is a new milestone in the automobile industries development during the 21st century. It becomes great significance in easing the global energy crisis while strengthening environmental protection. As the rest of the world, China has started developing electric vehicles to achieve the main goals like energy savings, low emissions and to guarantee a sustainable development of the automobile industry.
By 2012, electric vehicles are expected to share up to 5% of Chinas automobile market, by exceeding 900,000 units. Until 2015, 10% of the entire car production will issue with electric passenger vehicles and they will amount to 20%, which is more or less about 10 million units, of Chinas total car production by 2020.
Relevant statistics indicate that over the next decade, the Chinese government will be investing hundreds of billions RMB to support the research and development as well as promotion of electric vehicles. It will also focus on breaking through battery-powered, motor-driven and electronically-controlled core technologies to promote the industrialization of new energy vehicles.
According to the 2010 "12th Five-Year Plan" by the National Development and Reform Commission, the future development of Chinas automotive industry will advance towards miniaturization and electrification. The future of the domestic automotive industry will inevitably enter a period of rapid growth with new energy vehicles, especially electric ones, being a lucrative sector.

The leading platform for the bio-energy industry in China
With the rapid consumption of fossil resources and deterioration of ecology, nations around the world emphasis on the development of new energy and renewable energy. They invest large amount of fund and stress on promoting. As a unique renewable resources, bio-energy could be convert into three fuels, gas, liquid and solid. Those fuels have two ways of cleaning effect. Worldwide pay great attention to it.
By the end of 2011, global heat utilization of bio-energy reaches about 290 GW, 23% of the whole untilization. European bio-energy heating fits 12.9% of the whole heating energy requirements, 93% of renewable energy heating. Bio-energy power generation is 16.85% of renewable energy heating. Bio-energy provides 63.59% of cogeneration. In the meantime, the utilization of bio-energy in China has achieved great progress.
We’ve break though much key technology and built megawatt marsh gas power generation and the trial project of kiloton cellulosic ethanol and gasification and synthetic fuels. Many western countries have formulated policies of the development of bio-energy and emphasize on the importance of bio-energy in energy system. The Chinese government would also stress on the development of bio-energy. In the 12th Five-Year Plan, it is greatly promoted that the development target of bio-energy is to enforce the industrialization of biofuel technology and high-valued comprehensive utilization. A whole year of bio-energy utilization would be over the target of 50 million tons of standard coal.
With the development of bio-energy and new technology, there’re still some shortcomings in bio-energy industry, technology, policies and so on. To make matters worse, there’re some arguments about eco-friendly and utilization of bio-energy. In order to overcome these difficulties, China Electricity Council, China National Renewable Energy Center, China Association of Resource Comprehensive Utilization, Chinese Renewable Energy Industries Association. Construction Industry Sub-Council of China Council for the Promotion of International Trade and Construction Industry Chamber of Commerce of China Chamber of International Commerce organize 5th China International Bio-Energy Summit & Expo.

Introduction
This conference will be be held at the SECRET/U.S. ONLY classification.
Recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have highlighted the need for our combat systems to be survivable and effective. Many of our systems employed in combat have undergone statutorily-mandated Live Fire Test and Evaluation (LFT&E), and have benefited from the advanced understanding of how our weapons perform and how our systems will respond when hit. This conference will address the impact of global threats, including strategic, tactical (including ballistic, directed energy and other non-ballistic threats) and unconventional threats (IEDs, others) on the safety and survivability of our armed forces. It will explore new survivability techniques and approaches to integrate survivability concerns within the broad considerations of system design and employment. The conference will also address issues related to lethality of our weapons systems, from small caliber munitions to missile defense. Lethality will be discussed within the operational context of increased precision of delivery and the desire to limit collateral damage. Other topics, which also play a vital role in this process, will include modeling and simulation, experimental design, test ranges, instrumentation and environmental issues related to this type of testing. LFT&E policies, procedures and best practices will also be addressed.
This year marks the 26th anniversary of the statutory requirement for LFT&E of
acquisition programs under Title 10, United States Code (Section 2366). The statute,
which became effective in FY1987, requires realistic survivability testing and realistic
lethality testing for applicable systems. Since FY1995, OSD oversight of LFT&E has
been provided through the Office of the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation,
which provides for an integrated assessment of operational effectiveness (including
lethality), suitability and survivability.

Protecting Critical National Infrastructure (PCNI)
The concepts used to describe Protecting Critical National Infrastructure have changed radically since they were first articulated in President Clinton’s President’s Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection in 1997. Although PCNI was initially seen in terms of protecting facilities and operations from terrorist attack (and that still remains a significant factor in PCNI thinking), it has since then become clear that PCNI is much more complex than merely defending facilities based on traditional security management models.
The highly inter-connected and interdependent nature of tightly-bounded CNI operations means that a disruption in service to any part of the national system (and in many cases, the global system, for example, cyber communication), has a high-likelihood of triggering rapidly escalating and rapidly cascading effects, increasing both the impact of any failure in service but also transferring the consequences of those failures across the system.
From a crisis management perspective, the specific reasons for the initial triggering of a systems failure is less important than the necessity of consequence management following any failure, whatever its initial cause might be.
Given the increasing fragmentation of the CNI landscape, the commercial pressures associated with privatisation and cost-cutting savings, the aging of the CN infrastructure and the associated degradation of security and general services, as well as the ever more urgent need for invasive maintenance merely to maintain minimal functional capability, all combined with increased technological sophistication and complexity that increasingly leaves the management of CNI to fully-autonomous automated programmes, means that the issues of effective management of CNI and the ability to respond to non-normal situations speedily and effectively is at the forefront of crisis management thinking across the commercial and government PCNI sectors.
M2M technologies, Wireless Networking, SCADA Telemetry, and disruptive technologies are emerging as key differentiators in expediting oil and gas exploration and accelerating operational efficiencies. Wireless technologies and devices have played a key role for many operators in Europe and North American in their quest for energy independence.
Early adopters of telemetry, M2M, devices, sensors and connectivity technologies are able to monitor and manage remote locations more effectively, as well as benefit from faster more flexible control of assets from Wellhead to Pipelines; fiscal metering, drill monitoring, to fleet management and lone worker force safety and response.
Keynote presentations: Shell Frontier Automation, Saudi Aramco, Vodafone M2M, Raco Wireless, Wyless, Skywave, Zedi, Kore Telematics, Geotab and more.
M2M in Oil and Gas will address the role of Wireless Networks and Machine to Machine technologies, their current utilization, the future of devices and machine to machine connectivity and automation, and the role technical strategies play as operational business drivers for Oil and Gas applications.
The benefits of M2M and Wireless Sensor networks to the Oil and Gas industry are exponential.
If you are managing or serving field equipment; compressors, generators, turbines, plunger heads, tanks, separators, wellheads or EFMs, then you cannot miss this conference.
Investing in M2M solutions will minimize downtime, reduce the cost of maintenance, lower the consumption of energy, improve performance of equipment, provide safety enhancements and centralize controls.
Oil and Gas Operators: Would you like to arrange a one to one introduction with a M2M leader to further understand what they can do for your company? Contact jnesbitt@smi-online.co.uk
Latest news: Saudi Aramco will be speaking day one......
"You and your team should be highly complimented for the fine conference you arranged. I participated in many telematics conferences, and attended many more, and your conference can be ranked among those that fulfilled its high ambitions. As is usual, what is most important for the attendees is what happens outside the formal presentations, both in the exchanges between the speakers and the listeners inside the hall and during the meetings among delegates during the breaks. The venue and organisation allowed both."

Healthcare Data Analytics – What You Need to Know about This Burgeoning New Field!
The healthcare analytics market, already at almost $4 billion annually, is expected to grow to nearly $11 billion per year by 2017. In addition, the application of emerging Big data tools and analytics could help U.S. citizens save as much as$450 billion in healthcare costs, but fundamental change is necessary to meeting such goals, according to a new analysis published this month by consulting firm McKinsey & Company. Healthcare organizations around the globe are gathering information and crunching numbers to determine by careful analysis the key statistical data that will drive improvements in operational performance, quality of care, and cost management. More and more healthcare providers and payers are engaging in complex predictive analytics in the attempt to understand an extremely wide range of patient data – everything from indicators for relapse and readmission to factors indicating increased medicine consumption, and more. Forward-thinking organizations are setting up the infrastructure needed to collect, process, integrate, and mine these nuggets of hidden data within the increasing large troves of stored patient information.
This outstanding symposium brings together the key senior executives from hospital and physician settings, government, and industry to examine the state of healthcare analytics and the future opportunities and challenges to be faced.
What are DHHS, CMMS, Tricare, and VA needs and plans in healthcare analytics?
What challenges do hospitals and physician practices face? How can analytics be scaled up or down depending upon the size of the practice or hospital setting?
Can analytics pave the way for real-time, predictive operations management?
What are the opportunities for analytics-based enhanced clinical decision support? Comprehensive population health management?
What role will “big data” analytics play?
How do you select appropriate missions and applications for health analytics? Big Data?
How do you build use cases and justify ROI?
These and many other critical questions will be addressed during this important two-day event!

NEW! GIVE BACK TOGETHER—COMMUNITITY SERVICE PROJECT
SATURDAY, JULY 20 • 5:30PM–6:30PM
Past participants asked for the opportunity to meet and learn from fellow chapter leaders in a more casual environment. As a result all Summer Chapter Leader Summit participants will be attending NCMA's Second Annual World Congress Community Service Project. NCMA is partnering with Hands On Nashville to assemble Healthy Kids Kits for children and Fresh Start Kits for veterans in the Nashville area for this year's community service project. This is a unique opportunity for NCMA members to support children and veterans in the Nashville area.
SHARE THIS EVENT'S RESOURCES WITH YOUR CHAPTER LEADERSHIP TEAM
Summer Chapter Leader Summit is about more than bringing all of our chapter leaders together. It's about training our current chapter leaders so they can assist in the training of other upcoming or incoming chapter leaders within their local NCMA chapter. As a part of our Summer Chapter Leadership Summit, we create and update chapter training resources to help new chapter leaders or those with new roles become familiar with basic chapter processes and the resources that NCMA offers its chapters. To check out these resources, visit the Summer Chapter Leader Summit 2013 page of the NCMA Resources site.
“Even though I'm passing my chapter position off, I attended this event to obtain every bit of knowledge to pass along to the person who is taking over my position—it's important that my chapter continues to take steps forward. ”

About the Conference:
One main goal of the Congress is to assemble a spectrum of 22-affiliated research conferences, workshops, and symposiums into a coordinated research meeting held in a common place at a common time. This model facilitates communication among researchers in different fields of computer science, computer engineering, and applied computing. The Congress also encourages multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research initiatives; ie, facilitating increased opportunities for cross-fertilization across sub-disciplines. Learn more about the conferences being held simultaneously at WORLDCOMP.
An important mission of WORLDCOMP is "Providing a unique platform for a diverse community of constituents composed of scholars, researchers, developers, educators, and practitioners. The Congress makes concerted effort to reach out to participants affiliated with diverse entities (such as: universities, institutions, corporations, government agencies, and research centers/labs) from all over the world. The congress also attempts to connect participants from institutions that have teaching as their main mission with those who are affiliated with institutions that have research as their main mission. The congress uses a quota system to achieve its institution and geography diversity objectives."

If you have a question or feedback about OSCON, DM or @oscon us on Twitter or Identi.ca
And the winner is…open source
Come celebrate 15 years of OSCON and open source success
Join us July 22-26 at the O'Reilly Open Source Convention 2013 in Portland, Oregon. We know you won't want to miss it: we're celebrating the 15th anniversary of OSCON, and it's going to be an extraordinary experience.
OSCON is the must-attend gathering of the best and brightest minds in technology, an opportunity to challenge your assumptions and spark your imagination. Join us for five immersive days of all things open source—new and innovative projects, major enterprise-wide deployments, and—from icons of the open source movement—deep perspective on where we've been and where we're headed.
Why OSCON?
Other conferences focus on one language or part of the stack—OSCON deals with the open source ecosystem in its entirety, exactly as you approach it in your work. That's just one reason why this event is the primary gathering place of the open source community. At OSCON, you will:
Learn techniques you can use immediately to write great code
Hear from over 300 speakers as they share latest developments, best practices, and tips and tricks to overcome some of your biggest challenges—and plan for the future
Keep your skills up to date with sessions covering the full range of open source languages and platforms
Go deep, in comprehensive tutorials on technical skills, new features and applications, and best practices
Meet, share, and collaborate with 3,000+ open source developers, hackers, experts, vendors, and users of all levels
Enjoy all sorts of evening events, gatherings, and receptions where you'll connect with fellow attendees, speakers, and sponsors
…One of the Top 10 conferences to attend if you are looking to meet developers —TechCrunch
Build your open source expertise
The open source world is bigger and more diverse than it was at the first OSCON, but one thing hasn't changed in 15 years—learning in person, from the masters, is both effective and inspiring. Take a look at the OSCON program and lineup of speakers; you'll find plenty of opportunities to learn from the best.
Some OSCON topics we know will get you fired up:
Increasing your credibility and value to any company: how building your skills beyond “competency” makes you not only a better technologist, but a better bet for employers and clients
Building a business around open source: best practices, dealing with obstacles, what it really takes to make it work
Incorporating innovations in user experience, including interfaces, design, and usability
Managing cultural change brought on by ubiquitous networks and computing devices
Optimizing cloud computing and openness in distributed services
Living the Geek lifestyle: hacking, productivity tips, maker culture
Working with open web, open standards, and open data
Understanding what leadership means in the culture of open source today
Take time now to mark your calendar, convince your boss, or better yet, reserve your spot to join the world's open source pioneers, builders, and innovators this July 22-26 at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon.
* A bit of software history
OSCON has supported the open source revolution all the way—from the early days when a handful of visionaries and rebels were working to make the case for free and open software (imagine wanting access to your source code!) to now, when open source software is the standard for everyday programming languages, databases, utilities, and operating systems.
And the revolution isn't over. Open source software has a rich history of stimulating creativity and the genesis of fresh ideas, and those who work with open source are dedicated to finding a better way to do things. At OSCON, you'll learn about the latest developments, add to your skills in hands-on tutorials, and discover how other people are using the tools you use. See you there.

For many industries, the supply chain is the number-one arena for risk susceptibility. In the past few years, we have seen natural disasters dramatically impact international supply chains. Think of your own supply chain and where gaps can be found — anywhere from supplier weakness to economic uncertainty and fluctuating markets.
This conference is designed to provide an overview and practical information to help you connect the dots from risk management to your supply chain planning and execution.
The conference theme focuses on the many facets of risk management. Discover how organizations successfully confront risk using innovative tools and processes, and make those solutions part of your risk management survival kit. This program includes takeaways and success stories to apply to your enterprise. Practitioners share their tried-and-true stories to help companies avoid pitfalls.
If the past few years have taught us anything, it's that we must be prepared if we want to succeed.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Supply management professionals engaged in developing and supporting corporate risk management initiatives. Supply management professionals may want to invite those outside of supply management to gain buy-in and to build the foundation for organizational success. Risk management initiatives are often holistic strategies that involve the entire organization. Strong risk analysis can improve negotiating postures, contract writing and gap analyses. If you're involved in any of these areas, consider attending this conference to strengthen your position.
WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND
This is an opportunity to gain insight from supply chain professionals who have been in the trenches. Featured speakers include upper-level executives from world class organizations such as GE, Eli Lilly & Co. and Kraft Foods Group. Each session includes practical tools, assessments and takeaways so you can develop your risk strategy — or fine-tune your existing plan. Don't wait until disaster strikes; be prepared for what may be around the corner.

8th Annual Night Vision Systems
Adapting Technologies to Own the Night in Next Generation Threat Environments
The demands of the 21st century battlefield present some of the most challenging threat environments known to man. Protecting and equipping the warfighter has never been more complex as they combat terrorist threats, weapons of mass destruction, and rogue nations in harsh, multifaceted conditions for longer periods of time. It is the advancements in both sensor and imaging technology that enable the warfighter to see, acquire, and target hostile forces, day or night, in these next generation threat environments.
"The Army is using its advanced Night Vision sensors in Iraq and Afghanistan 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The capabilities of these critical combat tactical sensors are vital in the asymmetrical fight against terrorism."
-COL Curtis McCoy, U.S. Army G8 Office
This event will focus on the latest technological advancements in military night vision systems and sensors to maintain a competitive edge on the battlefield. It will look at investments in new solutions meant to enhance warfighter ability to “own the night.”
In addition, discover how the night vision world is adapting in the current fiscal environment, what the future outlook is, and how industry is evolving to meet commercial needs.
IDGA’s 8th Annual Night Vision Systems will bring together all relevant stakeholders to discuss the most pressing issues facing the night vision community. Analyze future trends, identify immediate and long-term needs, and uncover up-and-coming technologies for use in changing environments. Policy makers, uniformed service leaders, law enforcement and industry partners will gather in Washington to network, share best practices and explore potential paths to illuminate the future of night vision.
This year's event will look at:
Emerging night vision needs and requirements within the Department of Defense
New capabilities and technologies for night operations on the ground, in the air, and by sea
Partnership opportunities between government, industry, and academia
Adapting night vision technology to complement existing/up-and-coming commercial applications
Providing enhanced vision systems to federal and local law enforcement agencies

Course Description:
The course has undergone a major revision to prepare participants in developing and evaluating architectures that are conformant to DODAF 2.02.
The course is focused on developing an understanding of the architecture models and viewpoints and their linkages, explaining how the various models describe the architecture viewpoints, and addressing the practical aspects of generating the architecture data. Finally, the derivation of executable models from the DoDAF compliant designs is described as a foundation for architecture evaluation. Measures of Performance and Measures of Effectiveness are discussed and their computation from the executable model analyzed.
The course consists of lectures, interactive sessions, and work sessions in which participants,work through problems and produce an architecture from which selected models and viewpoints described in DODAF 2.02 compliant form are generated.
This course focuses on architecture design using a systems engineering approach based on object orientation and includes service orientation. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is used as the architecture description language. In addition to the development of a DoDAF compliant architecture description that is Fit-for-Purpose, the derivation of executable models from the architecture data is presented and their role in architecture evaluation is illustrated. The approach will then be applied to the evaluation of system-of-systems architecture and resilient architectures for C2. The design of architectures has become a fundamental component of the architecture-based systems engineering approach required by DoD and other government agencies. The architectures should be described in accordance with the current version (2.02) of the DoD Architecture Framework.
OBJECTIVES
(a) To address the process, tools and techniques for designing and describing architectures consistent with the guidelines of the current DoD Architecture Framework (2.02). (b) To present Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) and highlight their role in addressing net-centricity. (c) To provide a hands-on experience to the attendees in developing key models and views of a service based architecture using object orientation.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
The course is designed for professionals who are or will be involved in developing architectures consistent with the DoD Architecture Framework for or in support of DOD organizations. It is also for professionals responsible for such architectures because, through the interactive and work sessions, it helps them gain an appreciation of the time and resources needed to bring an architecture effort to a successful conclusion. AFCEA 503 is a "hands-on" course; all participants are expected to join one of the teams.

URTeC is the integrated event for oil & gas asset teams. The technical program covers 20 themes related to the way oil & gas companies involved in unconventionals do business today. The conference lineup includes 340 technical presentations – including oral and ePapers, 7 interactive panels taking an in-depth look at everything from technologies transforming the future to government regulations, and more.
URTeC was developed with an industry advisory group — professionals managing how wells are drilled and how plays are developed every day. Representatives from Anadarko, Apache, Chesapeake, ConocoPhillips, Devon, ExxonMobil-XTO, Schlumberger, Shell, SM Energy, Statoil and others spoke about the importance of geologists, geophysicists, engineers and business managers working together — and understanding each other. They encouraged SPE, AAPG and SEG to collaborate on URTeC to facilitate that learning and understanding.
Unlike existing events, URTeC won’t just drill vertically into discipline-specific silos, but will cut horizontally through all of the technologies and business practices essential to successful field development.
URTeC will be held in Halls D, E, and F at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver — a city boasting more than 800 oil & gas industry companies. SPE, AAPG and SEG have all recorded some of their highest numbers for annual conventions when held in Denver thanks to both the local industry and Denver’s status as a premier destination.

Make the Year-End Buying Season More Productive
930gov is a new type of technology showcase designed to make the year-end buying season more productive for both federal agencies and the government IT contractors who serve them.
930gov facilitates the procurement process by showcasing the technology products purchased during the government's fourth quarter. In addition, exhibitors' booths are all the same size, providing a level-playing-field for vendors and making it easier for attendees to review all products on display and evaluate offerings from companies of all sizes.
According to GovWin Network from Deltek, one-third of government IT spending occurs in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. This new event provides a modern, relevant and timely networking showcase to facilitate the quality and effectiveness of year-end IT purchases.
By offering a one-day, information-packed buying tool for government IT buying teams during the year-end busy season, 930gov saves both attendees and IT vendors valuable time so they can "get in, get out, and get what they need".

FBC invites you to exhibit at the International Common Criteria Conference (ICCC) taking place in Orlando, Florida. This is the first time since 2000 that the ICCC is taking place in the U.S.! The Conference has become the main marketing and meeting opportunity for all those involved in the specification, development, evaluation, and validation or certification of IT security.
Conference and Common Criteria Background
The Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation (aka. Common Criteria) was developed by the governments of Canada, France, Germany, Netherlands, UK, and U.S. in the mid-90’s to unify the security evaluation standards existing at this time. By unifying security evaluation criteria, the objective was to avoid re-evaluation of products addressing international markets.
An arrangement which outlined the mutual recognition to reduce the need for re-evaluations of Common Criteria certificates was signed in May 2000. Read the full Arrangement on the Recognition of Common Criteria Certificates here.
The participants in this arrangement share the following objectives:
to ensure that evaluations of Information Technology (IT) products and protection profiles are performed to high and consistent standards and are seen to contribute significantly to confidence in the security of those products and profiles;
to improve the availability of evaluated, security-enhanced IT products and protection profiles;
to eliminate the burden of duplicating evaluations of IT products and protection profiles;
to continuously improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the evaluation and certification/validation process for IT products and protection profiles.
Attendees
In order to support the CC Recognition Arrangement, the CC Management Committee organized the annual International Common Criteria Conference (ICCC). This important event brings together over 400 participants including: Certification Bodies, Evaluation Laboratories, Experts, Policy Makers, and Product Developers interested in the specification, development, evaluation, and certification of IT security.

Overview
The Defense Systems Acquisition Management course meets the needs of defense industry program managers in today's dynamic environment, providing the latest information related to:
• Defense acquisition policy for weapons and information technology systems
including discussion of the DoD 5000 series (directive, instruction, and
guidebook).
• Defense acquisition and reform and initiatives.
• Defense acquisition procedures and processes.
• The Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution process, and the
Congressional budget process.
• The relationship between capability needs determination, resource allocation,
science and technology activities, and acquisition programs.
Taught by the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) professors and other guest speakers, the course uses the same acquisition policy information provided to DoD students who attend DAU courses for formal acquisition certification.
Target Audience: Industry program managers, assistant program managers, systems engineers, industry personnel serving on DoD Integrated Product Teams, and other personnel that must interface with DoD program offices involved in program development and execution. The result of successful completion of this course is a comprehensive understanding of the environment and driving forces affecting program managers which will significantly increase awareness and effectiveness in dealing with programmatic issues. The course is also open to a limited number of government mid- to upper-level managers, tuition free. Government personnel may apply the DSAM course towards fulfillment of government continuous learning (CL) points. DSAM counts for 34 CL points, or 3.4 Continuous Education Units (CEU).
Course of Instruction
Management in the Acquisition Environment
The first block of instruction will identify the major participants in the DoD acquisition process and their roles. It will cover the 3 DoD decision support sectors (JCIDS, DAMS, and PPBE) that comprise the DoD acquisition process.
Acquisition Life Cycle Process
This block will focus on the objectives, responsibilities, activities, interrelationships, and concerns of each phase of the system acquisition life cycle. This includes research and development, program initiation, and the transition from development to production. Instruction will cover the DoD 5000 series (directive, instruction, and guidebook).
Challenges to Program Management
This block covers diverse topics that are critical to the success of the DoD program manager. Students working in assigned teams will research and analyze these topics and will culminate in a short presentation to the entire class.
Application of Acquisition Procedures
This portion of instruction covers the specific application of the acquisition procedures and the management issues currently facing the DoD program manager. The course will end with a detailed case study where participants develop an acquisition strategy using a program structure chart reflecting an instructor assigned acquisition scenario to carry an acquisition program through its entire life cycle.
Class Size
Plan ahead! The class is limited to 42 students, and registrations are accepted on a first paid, first enrolled basis.
Attendance
This intense 4-1/2 day seminar presents current government acquisition programs and requirements and, through guided student interaction and team exercises, applies them to the realities of industry operations. In order for you to gain maximum benefit from this course and for others to gain from various perspectives and experience, all students are expected to fully participate in all scheduled course activities. Therefore all travel arrangements should be made so that students are present until the course ends at 12:00 noon on Friday. Absences up to 2 hours may be granted with prior approval from the NDIA POC/DAU Instructors. Course completetion certificates will not be provided to students missing more than 2 hours of the course.

A well-designed RFP will address your needs effectively. It should require that responding vendors propose concrete solutions and be accountable for those solutions.
Your RFP process should determine
How willing is a vendor to accept contractual commitments?
Does the vendor have the skills and experience to do the job right, on time and within budget?
What responsibilities will the vendor have?
What deliverables can you expect to see? When?
What happens if the vendor does not deliver as expected?
What is the best deal?
If the solutions to these issues are left ambiguous, the results are often disastrous. Project delays, cost overruns, wired deals and overall project failure are common outcomes from using an informal approach. Unfortunately, many projects fit into this undesirable category.
With the help of a well-crafted RFP, issues that are left for future negotiation with a vendor are minimal.
Valuable Takeaways
You will receive more than 20 tools and resources, including:
RFP template
Potential Vendor Evaluation Matrix
Potential Vendor Pricing Matrix
Bidders’ Conference Agenda
Position Paper
RFP Checklist
Request For Information (RFI) Template
Various form letters to communicate effectively with potential vendors

About the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) was created as an independent agency by Congress in 1974 to ensure the safe use of radioactive materials for beneficial civilian purposes while protecting people and the environment. The NRC regulates commercial nuclear power plants and other uses of nuclear materials, such as in nuclear medicine, through licensing, inspection and enforcement of its requirements.
The NRC is headed by a five-member Commission. The President designates one member to serve as Chairman and official spokesperson. The Commission as a whole formulates policies and regulations governing nuclear reactor and materials safety, issues orders to licensees, and adjudicates legal matters brought before it. The Executive Director for Operations (EDO) carries out the policies and decisions of the Commission and directs the activities of the program offices.
The offices reporting to the EDO ensure that the commercial use of nuclear materials in the United States is safely conducted. As part of the regulatory process, the four regional offices conduct inspection, enforcement, and emergency response programs for licensees within their borders.
The NRC has an annual budget of about $1billion and employs about 4,000 people located in five primary locations in the United States. Learn More: http://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/organization.html

Announcement A major conference focusing on improving acquisition and performance of Defense programs and systems, including net-centric operations and data/information interoperability, system-of-systems engineering and all aspects of system sustainment, will be convened in Arlington, VA, October 28-31, 2013. This conference is sponsored by the National Defense Industrial Association, Systems Engineering Division, with technical co-sponsorship by IEEE AES, IEEE Systems Council and the International Council on Systems Engineering, and is supported by the Office of Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, Director, Systems Engineering, and Office of the DoD Chief Information Officer.
Background The Department of Defense continues to seek ways to improve the acquisition of military equipment and capability to assist the warfighter in protecting the U.S. and its allies, and help oppressed nations around the world in a complex environment of ever-changing threats and conditions. The recently enacted Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act (WSARA) of 2009 defines Systems Engineering as a key player in helping effect improvements in defense acquisition and program execution, to achieve more effective and affordable military systems. Systems Engineering is the “umbrella” engineering function that serves as the key integrating function for successful program execution and helping maintain the balance between requirements, performance, cost, schedule, and overall effectiveness and affordability. Systems Engineering principles embody strong technical and risk/opportunity management aspects, for the acquiring program office as well as the prime and subcontractors. Strong emphasis on systems engineering throughout the program, especially in early development planning, is a key enabler of successful programs and fielded defense systems. The Annual Systems Engineering Conference explores the various roles of systems engineering from all aspects and perspectives—pragmatic, practical and academic—and brings key practitioners together to work on effective solutions to achieve a successful warfighting force.
Conference Objectives This conference seeks to create an interactive forum for Program Managers, Systems Engineers, Chief Scientists, and Engineers and Managers from the Requirements, Design, Verification, Support, Logistics and Test communities from both Government and Industry. The conference will provide the opportunity to shape policy and procedures by exchanging innovative tactics and lessons learned.

For a quarter of a century, the Supercomputing Conference has served as the crossroads for the entire HPC community. From users and program managers to colleagues and vendors...from government to private industry to academia...SC has provided unparalleled cooperation, unequaled collaboration, and unmatched exposure.
And what better place to celebrate our 25th year than in Denver, Colorado? Located near the center of the continental United States, at the convergence of mountain and prairie, where high-rise buildings greet open range and the earth touches the sky, Denver is a community boldly moving into the future.
Spotlighting the most advanced scientific and technical applications in the world, SC13 will bring together the international supercomputing community for an exceptional program of technical papers, tutorials and timely research posters. The SC13 Exhibition Hall will feature exhibits of the latest and greatest technologies from industry, academia and government research organizations; many of these technologies will be seen for the first time in Denver.
Connect with the latest developments in supercomputing through SC13’s diverse programs:
Technical Program
SC’s continuing goal is to provide an informative, high-quality technical program that meets the highest academic standards. The Technical Program is highly competitive and one of the broadest of any HPC conference, with venues ranging from invited talks, panels, and research papers to tutorials, workshops, posters, and Birds-of-a-Feather (BOF) sessions. Whether you are unveiling new research for the first time, or helping teach the HPC body of knowledge to the next generation, being part of the SC technical program is a rite of passage in any HPC career.
Inside the Convention Center, things will be bustling at SC13. We’re expecting more than 350 exhibitors spread over nearly 140,000 square feet of exhibit space. With 26 meeting rooms dedicated to the Technical Program, Exhibitor Forum, Tutorials, Workshops, and HPC Interconnections, and two ballrooms for Technical Program events, there’ll be plenty of space for all of our events, yet laid out in a way that makes it quick and easy to find your way around.
In the world today, HPC brings people together, ideas together, communities together. And it is through the power of community so evident at the Supercomputing Conference that some of HPC’s greatest contributions to life today got their first exposure and traction. Building on that power, SC13 will focus on the increasing integration of HPC into modern life through HPC Interconnections – an enhanced version of the long-standing community elements of SC. HPC Interconnections will help everyone get more out of the conference than ever, providing programs for everyone interested in building a stronger HPC community, including students, educators, researchers, international attendees and under-represented groups.
HPC Interconnections provides a welcoming entry to SC13 for attendees who may be new to the community or the conference. A range of programs are provided to help attendees get the most out of their time at the conference and bring them into the HPC community. HPC Interconnections comprises Broader Engagement, HPC Educators, Mentors & Protégés, a program for international attendees, and programs for students, including the Doctoral Showcase, the Student Job Fair, the Student Cluster Competition, and Student Volunteers. The goal is to ensure that all attendees make meaningful connections to help them during SC13 and after. Please join us.

ABOUT DEFENSE LOGISTICS
Running since 2001, The Defense Logistics training event has become a set date on the calendars of 650+ logisticians and has proven to be an influential forum of great logistics minds in the U.S. There has never been a more urgent time for you to join your fellow logisticians across the services, agencies and in the private sector to ensure that our logistics capabilities are the best they can be. As a nation at war, we must continue to be efficient in logistics to maintain the effectiveness of our Force – to provide the right materials at the right time and in the right place.
“As far as budget cuts, the Coast Guard is seeing some of the same things, on a much smaller scale, than DoD. I think that makes it even more incumbent on us to be at an event like Defense Logistics to continue to develop those partnerships with our DoD sister services and with the Interagency, to really, truly understand what capabilities they can provide, and leverage that where possible to ensure that we’re not going to duplicate – none of us can afford to do that, particularly in the budget environment we are in.” - Rear Admiral Gromlich, Director of Operational Logistics at the US Coast Guard
