Computer Forensics - From the Class Room to the Cleanroom

The science of computer forensics plays an enormous role in today's
digital world, particularly in the legal realm where every case involves
electronic documents stored on myriad types of media. Criminals may

Kroll Ontrack, to hear how your classroom studies could take you to the

Ever since IBM's BlueGene Supercomputer was first introduced in 2004, it
has dominated the TOP500 (www.top500.org) Supercomputer list. Now in it's
second generation, BlueGene continues to enable researchers to expand their
science applications. IBM expects to continue setting the pace into the
next decade with plans for a third generation. This presentation will
provide an overview of BlueGene's conception, development, architecture,
and applications.

Hey kids -

We all know you're not doing anything useful over break, so why not work on our ACM infrastructure? The officers have put together a wish list of little projects we'd like to have done over the next couple weeks. Let us know if you're interested in helping out with any of them. You can find the wish list here.
