Entity system architecture with Unity @Unite Europe 2015 Maxim Zaks
Unity incorporates the component based architecture in a seamless manner. However for some games a more data driven approach (entity system architecture) fits better. We had very good experience using entity system architecture for simulation and even match three games. Therefore when we switched our development to Unity, we created a small library and a couple of Unity editor extensions to make Unity work seamlessly with entity system architecture. We called it Entitas-CSharp. The code is open source and available on github. In this talk we would like to show why entity system architecture fits us better and how you can use Entitas-CSharp in your own Unity project.

SPACE FOR SERVICES-PRESENTATION TO ARCHITECTURE STUDENTSLiz Burow
More and more, space can be considered a platform for dynamic experiences, not a just a static container. How can designers prepare to design spaces that empower a more mobile, personal and participatory experience?
These was the question I posed to the students at the beginning of our half-day workshop at the gradate school of architecture at Washington University in St. Louis, MO. The workshop introduced students to ‘service design’ methodologies and ‘user experience’ tools and techniques as a way to consider designing an experience from the point of view of the user, rather then a form or a space from the point of view of the designer.

Biopharmaceutical companies are developing 215 new medicines for heart disease and stroke, the two leading causes of death in Americans. These new treatments have the potential to build on progress made by existing drugs, which have helped reduce heart disease deaths by a third between 2001 and 2011 according to the CDC. Some of the new medicines in development use cutting-edge technologies like gene therapy and target specific aspects of cardiovascular disease such as high cholesterol, heart failure, and stroke. These innovative treatments currently in clinical trials or under FDA review may continue driving down death rates and improving quality of life for patients suffering from heart disease and stroke.

Small businesses implement ethics differently than larger firms due to their close-knit nature. Gaetano's Event Center, a small catering business, relies on informal systems rather than formal documentation to promote ethics. Gaetano's uses a values-based culture where the owner prioritizes honesty and integrity through personal involvement rather than written policies. While Gaetano's approach has been effective, combining formal elements like codes of conduct with their informal values system could help cultivate an even stronger ethical environment by providing clearer standards and reducing liability risks.

Business Ethics and Social Responsibility of Businesses
During this week’s mini lecture, we will discuss the importance of business ethics and social responsibility to the long-term success of a business.
What is Business Ethics? That’s a great question and I’m glad you asked! If you read the papers or watch the news, you constantly hear stories about business fraud and how it is so prevalent in today’s business climate. If you were to ask my personal opinion, I’d tell you that these stories seem to be as common as parents telling their children about Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy. Nowadays it seems that in order to become the CEO of a Fortune 500 organization it requires you to have a Master Degree in Creative Accounting and that your moral compass needs to have an on/off switch.
Simply stated, business ethics is doing the right thing when it comes to your business and your stakeholders by employing a smart, responsible approach that can keep your business around for the long term. When an organization takes care of its employees, its customers, its suppliers and its stockholders all at the same time while still being able to make a profit, it’s a win-win for everyone.
Ethics in business is specifically important when it comes to dealing with customers. Integrity, when dealing with customers of your business, is essential to building and maintaining strong customer relationships. It's especially important when it comes to how the business handles customer issues and service. We’ve all seen the businesses that have no problem sacrificing their customer service for dollar signs. While in the short term these businesses might be profitable, we all know people love to talk about bad experiences they have with businesses and sooner or later enough bad experiences will shut them down. There’s an old saying that, generally speaking, when we have a good experience at a business we will maybe tell a couple of people that are close to us, if anyone at all. On the other hand, when we, generally speaking again, have a bad experience with a business we will tell anyone that will listen from the cashier at the grocery store to posting it on Facebook! It is just unethical and quite frankly, not good business, to not provide your customers with excellent customer support when they have a problem with one of your products.
I’d like to shift gears and now discuss social responsibility of businesses. I think it would be helpful to again begin by defining what social responsibility is. Simply stated, social responsibility is an organization’s initiatives to assess and take responsibility for its effects on the environment as well as its impact on social welfare.
In today’s business climate, social responsibility in business is becoming an expectation. Organizations are continuously being told by the government, the media as well outspoken consumers about the advantages of acting socially responsible and warned about the risks of a lack thereof. Many organizati ...

3. Executive Summary
Anna Gaetano, co-owner of Gaetano’s Event Center & Catering, clearly relied information about her company in terms of how
the company promotes ethical standards in a every facet of its culture. The company was established in 1963 as a small restaurant
