Tips from my personal experience at preparing an abstract for a conference, preparing a presentation for a conference, and most importantly, how you speak (or present) at a conference. In fact most of this is on the speaking portion of the experience.
This document discusses guidelines for effective presentations. It covers types of delivery such as extemporaneous, manuscript, and impromptu presentations. It provides tips for visual elements like dress, eye contact and movement. Verbal elements like language, style and vocal elements like enthusiasm are also addressed. Question-and-answer sessions and speaking with confidence are examined, including managing questions, rehearsing and focusing on the topic rather than oneself.
This document provides tips for making elearning courses less boring by dumping the "corporate drone" style of communication. It discusses how drone language uses buzzwords, blather and bogus language that is boring for learners. It suggests varying rhythm, adding humor, using "you", "who" and action verbs to identify actors and tell stories. The document recommends chopping unnecessary text and using readability tools without focusing too much on grade levels. The goal is to make content challenging but language easy to understand.
The document provides information about a student conference on communication and information taking place on Monday, July 12, 2010 in Spain. It congratulates Spain supporters and lists Gamal E. Magdy as the moderator trainer for the event. Magdy's background and experience working with Microsoft technologies is outlined.

1) The document describes a random walk model on a complete graph where particles jump between vertices.
2) As n increases, the particle distribution converges to a deterministic process described by a system of equations.
3) A time change is introduced to speed up the process while maintaining the same absorption state. Under this change, the particle distribution converges to the solution of a different system of equations in the limit as n approaches infinity.
One of three variations of social networking / social media presentations. All three are all very similar. However, each has a slightly different approach to explaining social networking.
This master's thesis explores designing, analyzing, and experimentally evaluating a distributed community detection algorithm. Specifically:
- A distributed version of the Louvain community detection method is developed using the Apache Spark framework. Its convergence and quality of detected communities are studied theoretically and experimentally.
- Experiments show the distributed algorithm can effectively parallelize community detection.
- Graph sampling techniques are explored for accelerating parameter selection in a resolution-limit-free community detection method. Random node selection and forest fire sampling are compared.
- Recommendations are made for choice of sampling algorithm and parameter values based on the comparison.

DB2 10 Universal Table Space - 2012-03-18 - no templateWillie Favero
DB2 introduced universal table spaces in version 9 to address the need for a table space type that provides both partitioned and segmented organization. Universal table spaces allow tables to be larger than 64GB, provide inter-partition parallelism, and support fast insert and delete operations while avoiding the overhead of partitioning by a ROWID column.
An Intro to Tuning Your SQL on DB2 for z/OSWillie Favero
This document provides an introduction to SQL tuning for a DB2 for z/OS environment. It was presented on March 1, 2011 by Willie Favero from IBM's Data Warehouse on System z Swat Team. The presentation covers various techniques for optimizing SQL queries and access paths in DB2 for z/OS, with the goal of improving query performance. It addresses topics such as monitoring wait times, buffer pool usage, checkpointing, WLM policies, sort techniques, and disk I/O optimization. The overall aim is to help database administrators understand how to analyze and "tune" queries to reduce response times and meet business performance objectives.
Why computers are cool high school audience - 2010-12-01Willie Favero
The document discusses career opportunities in computer science and technology. It notes that computer science degrees can lead to a variety of jobs at companies like IBM, including opportunities in hardware, software, services, and sales/marketing. It also highlights the growing demand for technology professionals and lists some local colleges that offer computer science programs to prepare students for these in-demand careers.
This document provides information about a presentation on DB2 for z/OS data and index compression given by Willie Favero. It includes disclaimers about the information provided, lists IBM trademarks, and outlines objectives to describe DB2 compression fundamentals, how data and index compression are implemented in DB2, and how to determine if compression achieves expected disk savings. It also references the history of data compression techniques including the Lempel-Ziv algorithms from 1977 that DB2 compression is based on.
This document outlines a joint effort between IBM's Poughkeepsie Lab and Silicon Valley Lab to benchmark a 50TB data warehouse on System z and establish best practices for managing large data warehouses on the System z platform. It discusses using workload manager to handle mixed transactional and analytic workloads, implementation considerations, and references several other IBM Redbooks publications related to enterprise data warehousing with DB2 on System z.
Parallelism was first introduced to DB2 way back in 1993 with DB2 Version 3. With every release of DB2 parallelism has been enhanced. In applications like data warehousing and business intelligence, it's almost a necessity. Yet, a surprisingly large number of customers continue to avoid parallelism when it could offer significant elapsed time improvements. With this presentation, we'll try to debunk the myths that surround using DB2 parallelism. We will discuss a little bit of parallelism's history, how parallelism works, the parameters in DB2 that control parallelism and the affects of the value chosen for those parameters, and how to get the greatest benefits when parallelism is put to use; the DOS & DON'TS necessary for you to get the most out of DB2's parallelism. We will also discuss the latest enhancements to parallelism and how parallelism can take advantage of zIIP specialty engines.
The IBM Smart Analytics Optimizer works by offloading CPU-intensive query processing from DB2 for z/OS to specialized hardware. It defines logical data marts containing related tables and loads them into compressed, memory-resident formats on the accelerator. This provides an order of magnitude performance improvement for queries involving the accelerated tables. The optimizer is transparent to applications and preserves DB2's qualities of service while improving price/performance.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐝 & 𝐒𝐨𝐟𝐭 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞 💯
In today's dynamic and competitive market, a well-rounded skillset is no longer a luxury - it's a necessity.
While technical expertise (hard skills) is crucial for getting your foot in the door, it's the combination of hard and soft skills that propels you towards long-term success and career advancement. ✨
Think of it like this: Imagine a highly skilled carpenter with a masterful understanding of woodworking (hard skills). But if they struggle to communicate effectively with clients, collaborate with builders, or adapt to project changes (soft skills), their true potential remains untapped. 😐
The synergy between hard and soft skills is what creates true value in the workplace. Strong communication allows you to clearly articulate your technical expertise, while problem-solving skills help you navigate complex challenges alongside your team. 💫
By actively developing both sets of skills, you position yourself as a well-rounded professional who can not only perform tasks efficiently but also contribute meaningfully to a collaborative and dynamic work environment.
