We meet at 6:30pm on the second Tuesday of each month at the
Farmington Community Library.

 Topics Include:

 The Various and Wonderful Laws of Computing

 No, this is not a talk about digital jurisprudence, rather it is a
detailed set of seminal observations on the various trends we have
experienced in the last 50 years of computing. Of course the most
famous one of them all is the classic Moore’s Law, while not an actual
law, has had an astounding effect on all of mankind since the
invention of the microprocessor.

 In this 90-minute talk Sharan Kalwani will point out the different
advances in computing, be it networking, storage, connectivity,
semiconductors, processing power, energy trends, etc. He will list the
eponymous persons associated with each specific law, relationship, or
trend and what implications they have for us all.

 To the best of the speakers knowledge, such a talk has not been
conducted anywhere else before and so you will get to enjoy an
original, as well as a uniquely holistic perspective on the vast
phenomena we call computing.

 A well seasoned scientifc, technical and computing professional,
Sharan Kalwani has spent over 20+ years implementing many new and
pioneering technologies from operating systems (*nix) , high
performance computing (Cray, SGI, modern day clusters), engineering
applications (CAE/CFD simulations), optimization, networking (TCP/IP,
Infiniband), operations (ITIL, ITSM), scientific domain
(BioInformatics), and project management. A successful speaker and
author, Sharan looks to increase the professional approach of every
individual he interacts with. He enjoys teaching, contributing to STEM
activities and publishing. He is a senior member of IEEE, ACM,
Emeritus member of Michigan!/usr/group. He is currently the Chair of
the IEEE SE Michigan Education Society Chapter since 2017.


 Plus we'll have our regular features: Jobs Looking for People, People

the Buddy's Pizza in Novi (44225 W 12 Mile Road, Novi, MI 48377) after
