If I tell you a story about a heterosexual couple who are a computer scientist and a cleaner, would you have any preconceptions as to which was the man and which was the woman? You might not, but Google image searches show that the internet does.
Prof Ian Gent will use this as a parable about the vital problem of gender imbalance and stereotyping in Computer Science, perhaps the most important problem for the field. Ian will also discuss the Petrie Multiplier, a graphic illustration of how gender imbalance can dramatically affect the minority, even when the majority doesn't behave any worse.

Session Length: 1 Hour
While interest in computing is steadily declining in US among women, more women are attracted to computing and seeking technical CS degrees in Turkey. In this talk, members of Turkish Women in Computing will discuss the results of ongoing research based on survey conducted on this discrepancy among its members and their connections who are women with computing degrees. We will briefly present the hypotheses previously presented at Global Voices conference in 2014 and how our findings compare with these hypotheses previously presented. We will also talk about our data collection methodology and some interesting surprises we encountered about demographics that affected the results.
Women in CS Lessons From Turkey Global Voices Presentation 2014umityalcinalp
The talk slides given in Global Voices 2014 by Turkish women in Computing about statistics regarding women in computer science, the trends and beliefs about CS education and how it compares to US.
This short slide presentation was prepared for a short "lightning talk" at the Rails Girls Galway workshop, 21st June 2014. The presentation explores the reasons for the under-representation of women in STEM and some of the initiatives which have been tried to redress this gender imbalance. The presentation concludes by advocating a holistic approach including not just initiatives to support and advocate for girls and women, but initiatives to change IT and STEM culture -- in schools, universities, labs, community & maker spaces, and workplaces.

This presentation is about how to increase the diversity in terms of thought, gender, background, and creativity in the STEM field. There is a need for more women and underrepresented minorities and these slides delve into how we can support this groups in the education system.
ThinkNation: "Women quotas in tech" Olivia Thorne RobogalsLizzie Hodgson
From the perspective of a young person in the community, this talk discusses the 'against-quotas' viewpoint and aims to consider other routes to increase diversity in technology. The presentation goes through the social and personal implications associated with quotas, and proposes other solutions which involve both industry and individuals; drawing on personal experiences within Robogals to Olivia explores what truly engages girls in tech.
Research has examined both engineering demographics and factors improving or impeding diversity. However, media regularly emphasizes current lack of diversity in technology, while putting considerably less focus on specific actions to drive change. We will share some research data, as well as information about a number of initiatives to draw in young people - from elementary to college - who might otherwise never consider an engineering future, including: target demographic groups, what specifically each initiative is doing, and results. Learn how specific initiatives are making a difference – and what you can do to make a difference, too.

It is often said that girls either are not interested in STEM subjects or are left out for various reasons. Some of this “common knowledge” is actually a myth – girls are interested in SOME STEM areas, such as biology, but not others, such as computer science. This session will take a deep dive into these myths and realities to discover what is really attractive to girls in elementary and secondary schools in STEM subjects.
Participants will learn about the Maker Movement and the potential to bring new tools and technology to K-12 classrooms to support hands-on learning across all grades and curriculum – but particularly STEM and STEAM. The implications of the Maker Movement are two-fold. One is that many of the technological inventions support areas that are of particular interest to girls, such as inventions that help people, sewable electronics, e-textiles, bio-materials, and community projects. The second is that the collaborative, tinkering nature of the Maker Movement dovetails with girls ability to work collaboratively and in a connected way. By exploring best practices from schools around the world that have successfully created strong STEM programs for girls, the participants in this session will be able to take away ideas and resources that will be of use in their own schools and districts.

Encouraging Girls to Participate in Computer Sciencekimarnold28
This presentation was used for a TCEA Technology Applications & Computer Science Special Interest (TA/CS-SIG) webinar entitled "Encouraging Girls to Participate in Computer Science". View a recording of the webinar held January 9, 2014 at: http://tcea.adobeconnect.com/p260ure38il/
Description: Are girls in your high school missing from your Computer Science program? High school and college Computer Science programs traditionally have fewer girls than boys, which translates into fewer women pursuing careers in computer science. This webinar will share reasons why girls might be avoiding computer science, easy ways you can encourage girls to join or stay in your computer science program, and reasons why diversity is important in your computer science classroom and in the workplace.
What do you think of when you hear the term, “Computational Thinking?” It’s more than just working with computers! Computational Thinking is a mindset and a way of approaching critical thinking that can be used to solve problems across every aspect of our lives. In this modern age, it is more and more important for all community members to develop these pivotal thinking skills – that’s where libraries come in!
How Data-Driven Approaches are Changing Your Data Management Strategies
Introducing data-driven strategies into your business model alters the way your organization manages and provides information to your customers, partners and employees. Gone are the days of “waterfall” implementation strategies from relational data to applications within a data center. Now, data-driven business models require agile implementation of applications based on information from all across an organization–on-premises, cloud, and mobile–and includes information from outside corporate walls from partners, third-party vendors, and customers. Data management strategies need to be ready to meet these challenges or your new and disruptive business models will fail at the most critical time: when your customers want to access it.

How to Leverage the Cloud for Business Solutions | Strata Data Conference Lon...MapR Technologies
IT budgets are shrinking, and the move to next-generation technologies is upon us. The cloud is an option for nearly every company, but just because it is an option doesn’t mean it is always the right solution for every problem.
Most cloud providers would prefer that every customer be tightly coupled with their proprietary services and APIs to create lock-in with that cloud provider. The savvy customer will leverage the cloud as infrastructure and stay loosely bound to a cloud provider. This creates an opportunity for the customer to execute a multicloud strategy or even a hybrid on-premises and cloud solution.
Jim Scott explores different use cases that may be best run in the cloud versus on-premises, points out opportunities to optimize cost and operational benefits, and explains how to get the data moved between locations. Along the way, Jim discusses security, backups, event streaming, databases, replication, and snapshots across a variety of use cases that run most businesses today.
Is your organization at the analytics crossroads? Have you made strides collecting and sharing massive amounts of data from electronic health records, insurance claims, and health information exchanges but found these efforts made little impact on efficiency, patient outcomes, or costs?
Changes in how business is done combined with multiple technology drivers make geo-distributed data increasingly important for enterprises. These changes are causing serious disruption across a wide range of industries, including healthcare, manufacturing, automotive, telecommunications, and entertainment. Technical challenges arise with these disruptions, but the good news is there are now innovative solutions to address these problems. http://info.mapr.com/WB_Geo-distributed-Big-Data-and-Analytics_Global_DG_17.05.16_RegistrationPage.html

3 Benefits of Multi-Temperature Data Management for Data AnalyticsMapR Technologies
SAP® HANA and SAP® IQ are popular platforms for various analytical and transactional use cases. If you’re an SAP customer, you’ve experienced the benefits of deploying these solutions. However, as data volumes grow, you’re likely asking yourself: How do I scale storage to support these applications? How can I have one platform for various applications and use cases?
Cisco & MapR bring 3 Superpowers to SAP HANA DeploymentsMapR Technologies
SAP HANA is an increasingly popular platform for various analytical and transactional use cases with its in-memory architecture. If you’re an SAP customer you’ve experienced the benefits.
However, the underlying storage for SAP HANA is painfully expensive. This slows down your ability to grow your SAP HANA footprint and serve up more applications.
You’re not the only one still loading your data into data warehouses and building marts or cubes out of it. But today’s data requires a much more accessible environment that delivers real-time results. Prepare for this transformation because your data platform and storage choices are about to undergo a re-platforming that happens once in 30 years.
With the MapR Converged Data Platform (CDP) and Cisco Unified Compute System (UCS), you can optimize today’s infrastructure and grow to take advantage of what’s next. Uncover the range of possibilities from re-platforming by intimately understanding your options for density, performance, functionality and more.
