From lgj at usenix.org Wed Dec 2 19:38:06 2009 From: lgj at usenix.org (Lionel Garth Jones) Date: Wed, 2 Dec 2009 10:38:06 -0800 Subject: USENIX TaPP '10 Submissions Deadline Approaching Message-ID: We're writing to remind you that the submissions deadline for the 2nd USENIX Workshop on the Theory and Practice of Provenance (TaPP '10) is approaching. Please submit all work by December 14, 2009, 11:59 p.m. PST. More information and submission guidelines are available at http://www.usenix.org/tapp10/cfpb TaPP '10 will bring together researchers and practitioners doing innovative work in the area of provenance. Provenance, or meta-information about computations, computer systems, database queries, scientific workflows, and so on, is emerging as a central issue in a number of disciplines. The TaPP workshop series builds upon a set of Workshops on Principles of Provenance organized in 2007-2009, which helped raise the profile of this area within diverse research communities, such as databases, security, and programming languages. We hope to attract serious cross-disciplinary, foundational, and highly speculative research and to facilitate needed interaction with the broader systems community and with industry. The Program Committee invites you to submit either full papers describing relatively mature work or short papers on ongoing work. We welcome submissions addressing research problems involving provenance in any area of computer science, including but not limited to: - Databases - Programming languages and software engineering - Systems and security - Workflows/scientific computation We look forward to receiving your submissions!

Newbie Nugget: Comprehensions and Other Such Stuff by Wesley Chun ..... 7:40 PM to 8:30 PM (or so) ................ wxPython by Tony Cappellini wxPython is a GUI toolkit for the Python programming language. It allows Python programmers to create programs with a robust, highly functional graphical user interface, simply and easily. It is implemented as a Python extension module (native code) that wraps the popular wxWidgets cross platform GUI library, which is written in C++ My presentation is an introductory to using wxPython, GUI basics, IO redirection, GUI's vs cmd line programs, threading in a GUI app, and some helpful resources for wxPython, Links: http://www.wxpython.org/ ..... 8:30 PM to 9:20 PM ................
