TechEd 2007 SEA: Faculty Summit Day 2

  • Article

Day 2 of the Faculty Summit looks to be filled with very interesting topics.  We start with a talk - From Database to Complete Data Platform - from Prakash Sundaresan, Principal Product Unit Manager, in the Database Platform Team.  Prakash will be flying to Singapore after this to give a talk to NUS students.  Should be interesting.  (And thanks Yizhe for hosting.)

Arkady Retik will do a session on Providing Resources for OS Teaching and Research.  Last year, Arkady and Dave (an Architect for Windows Kernel) did a hands-on workshop in Singapore on the same subject for regional faculty.  The workshop and the content were very well received and I'm happy to see continued progress in the Windows Academic Program.

Prof. John Gough will speak again (spoke on .NET in Curriculum yesterday) on the Phoenix Compiler (https://research.microsoft.com/phoenix/).  Dirk Primbs will speak on XNA, Peter Green on Agile Software Development and eSCRUM, and finally there will be a panel discussion on the Global Academic Trend.

Should be an interesting day...
