Emilio Sagueiro
The importance of Computer Perfor-mance Analysis and Capacity Planning for large computing environments.
Have you ever been waiting in line to complete a transaction and the person helping you complains that the system is slow? This happens all the time in banks, over the phone transactions or even trying to get your balance from your credit card? Computer performance analysis is a continuous activity and a basis for capacity planning of future and current computer needs. In this talk I would like to focus in Benchmark development as a key tool in the process of benchmark for system selection. We will review characteristics required for successful benchmarks in terms of scaling, control-ability, repeat-ability, allow comparison across vendors. Use as input for capacity planning and price/performance metrics.

Peter Marchese
Overview of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS & Drones)
Over the last several years, UAV’s and Drones have been growing in popularity, and some would say notoriety. Over that time, it’s also been growing into a burgeoning platform and industry, with many ways to enhance and benefit our current workflows. Its only recently become easy and legal for those interested in utilizing them for commercial use in the US though. This session will provide an overview of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS & drones) and how they can be used for projects, with design, inspection and safety examples.
