or, all you ever wanted to know about software development but were (rightly) afraid to ask.

From cowboy coding to ISO/IEC 12207:2008, the range and focus of "HOW-TO" develop software has changed and evolved as much over time as programming languages have. In this talk we'll explore various ways you could develop code, each with its own strengths and weaknesses depending on the solution domain. We'll also discover more about the WHY that lurks behind any given software development approach. Finally we'll learn some basic tips from the coding trenches that might come in handy as a professional later on, when the time comes for you to specify your company's very own software development process.

As usual, the lecture will take place in the lunch. Interesting? Subscribe before Tuesday June 11th, 9:00h, so that we can provide your lunch!

Tuesday June 4th, Accenture will visit us to give a lunch lecture. This lecture is organised in collaboration with study association Thor (electrical engineering), and will be about Software-Defined Networking.

Bridge the Last Mile of Virtualization With Software-Defined Networking: Controlling the flow of information in today’s digital business – where applications, systems, networks and communications channels are constantly changing – is one of the most challenging aspects of enterprise IT. While the virtualization of servers, storage and other parts of IT infrastructure has resulted in unprecedented levels of flexibility, the network has been largely untouched by virtualization until now. Software-defined networking (SDN), where the network is managed through software instead of through hardware, provides a giant leap forward in enterprise flexibility. With SDN, organizations can reconfigure the connectivity of systems without changing the physical characteristics – making it easier for businesses to manage change, integrate cloud services and get more return from their network investments.

ING zal deze lezing geven, in samenwerking met Young Colfield. Het thema van de lezing zal zijn: IT is de bank, de bank is IT.

Today our special beer borrel will bring you a selection of beers you may have never seen before. This will take place between 16:30u and 19:00u!

Like every BAC-lustrum, we will make an excursion this year. This year, we will visit the place where our tap beer comes from: the Grolsch brewery in Enschede!

A bus will bring us there. We will get a guided tour through the brewery, after which we will taste some beers and get a good meal.

The good thing is: the program is totally free! If we bring a bus full of people, Grolsch will also pay the bus costs for us. So be there, and bring your friends to fill the bus!

The bus has a capacity of 58 people. If you're not one of the first 58 people, you're on a reserve. When people unsubscribe, you may become one of the 58!

After our succesful fourth LAN last year, time is near for our fifth LAN. The idea is a little different than last year: everybody's welcome on friday from 19:00, but we can only enter the main room at 23:00. Before that, we will watch a movie, play on consoles, or something alike. Note that we will not provide dinner on Friday afternoon. Each person gets to use one table, chair, power and network access. You'll also be able to sleep in a separate room. Be sure to bring your own sleeping bag, pillow and something soft to lie on. On Sunday at 15:00 everybody will have to go home, unfortunatly. Sign up now, we only have a limited amount of room!

A weekend with lots of students, running and partying ... you like that? The 41st edition of the Batavierenrace promises to be legendary again, and GEWIS wants to take part with two teams.

The Bata is a relay race between Nijmegen and Enschede, in which teams of 25 students participate. The students in these teams all have their personal goals. Where one wants a good running result, one another prefers the evening after the walk, during the big party. So it doesn't matter if you're not that much sportive, ultimately it's all about having fun in this epic event!

SurroundIT is een informatica gericht symposium dat zal gaan over smart surroundings. Over de dag verdeeld zullen er een aantal lezingen, bedrijvenstands en een netwerkborrel met diner zijn. Het doel is de bezoekers in contact te laten komen met smart surroundings en bedrijven die daar mee bezig zijn.

In de breedste zin van het woord zijn smart surroundings systemen die reageren op processen in de omgeving, denk aan automatische licht-aan/uit-systemen, maar ook reizigersinformatiesystemen op bijvoorbeeld stations. Ook zouden smart surroundings te maken kunnen hebben met de logistiek van een bedrijf, bij bijvoorbeeld havens die automatisch weten welke container waar is en waar de container naartoe moet.

Op het congres zullen acht sprekers over smart surroundings spreken, zij zullen spreken over het onderwerp verdeeld in 3 verschillende segmenten: ‘thuis’, ‘publieke ruimte en verkeer’ en ‘professionele ruimte’. Binnen deze onderwerpen zullen zaken als techniek, privacy en bedrijfskundig vlak behandeld worden.

On Tuesday March 19th, the next GEWIS lunch lecture is coming! This time, Optiver is visiting us to give the lecture.

"Optiver is an international and innovative proprietary trading firm. We deal with highly-automated electronic market making activities in wide variety of financial products such as derivatives, stocks and fixed income. With offices in Amsterdam, Chicago and Sydney, employing around 600 talented individuals from over 30 nationalities, we trade in more than 20 countries, across 5 continents, 24 hours a day. Although market making is our core activity, we rely heavily on our IT expertise. We recognise that only the very latest hardware and software will ensure fast and reliable connections with option exchanges worldwide. Our success is the result of our continuous attention to innovation, and we aim to always stay ahead of the technology curve.

During the guestlecture of GEWIS we will elaborate further on how we apply IT in the fast-paced environment of Trading. How do we develop our Trading software in-house and how can we make sure we have fast, reliable and accurate connections to all exchanges worldwide? What is the role of latency within our company? These and many other related topics will be addressed during this lecture."

Ben jij de slimste van GEWIS? Kom dan naar de GELIMBO Quiz om je daar met je team te meten tegen de rest van GEWIS. Zorg ervoor dat je op tijd bent, want als je te laat bent zul je voor de eerste rondes geen punten verdienen.

Energie is iets dat we als vanzelfsprekend beschouwen. Tegelijkertijd komt door verschillende redenen de nadruk steeds meer te liggen op duurzaam gebruik van energie. Door slimme apps te ontwikkelen heeft Essent de afgelopen jaren haar klanten geholpen beter inzicht te krijgen in hun energiezaken.

Door data vanuit Essent te combineren met informatie uit verschillende andere bronnen zijn interessante apps te ontwikkelen. Denk hierbij aan een thermostaat die aangaat als de klant zich binnen een bepaalde afstand van zijn of haar huis bevindt, met behulp van GPS-data. Maar er is natuurlijk veel meer mogelijk!

Bij de "Big Data Challenge" ga je met een groep studenten aan de slag je eigen innovatieve app te ontwerpen!

Deze case zal op locatie zijn, dus bij Essent IT in 's Hertogenbosch. Het zal dan ook gecombineerd worden met een korte rondleiding op deze locatie en een korte introductie. Uiteraard zal de middag worden afgesloten met een prijs voor het beste idee!

Enlist yourself for the ProZAc borreltour. You will visit 5 borrel locations and get 2 drinks at each place.

On March 5th, ORTEC will organise a lunch lecture for GEWIS members. The speaker will be Gregor Brandt, consultant in the Operations Research area. This is a little introduction of the lecture, made by him:

"During your study of Mathematics or Computer Science you gather a lot of information and insight. There is however, a big difference between university theory and the real world. As a consultant in the area of Operations Research at ORTEC, I have been able to see various companies and experienced the differences between companies amongst themselves, and also the way every company will differ from the clean theory often taught at university. My lecture will be about the mentioned differences and I will illustrate this by providing real life examples of situations I encountered, both in the area of OR and IT.”

For more information about ORTEC, have a look at the website: www.ortec.nl

Sounds interesting? Be there! Subscribe here and you will get free lunch. You can subscribe until March 5th, 09:00h.

Lieve GEWISsers,

Zoals jullie allemaal ongetwijfeld vernomen hebben, zal op woensdag 27 februari aanstaande het geweldigste, hipste en puikste feest van het jaar plaatsvinden in café Miller-time. Kaartjes voor dit feest zijn in de voorverkoop verkrijgbaar via de EJC13-1-leden. Aan het begin van de avond is er gratis bier, er is een kussengevecht en er zijn spoelbakkenraces. Omdat het een pyjamafeest betreft, is het natuurlijk de bedoeling dat jullie allemaal in jullie pyjama komen. Als deze niet aanwezig is, kun je ook in je badjas komen, en anders is ook een jurk nog toegestaan. Tot dan!

Veel liefs, EJC13-1

KPN Consulting geeft op 25 februari een on campus event bij GEWIS op de TU Eindhoven. KPN Consulting zal een workshop in de vorm van een praktijk gerichte business case verzorgen.

McKinsey organizes a lunch lecture on Thursday February 21th, which will be given by Jeroen Duin (Engagement Manager) and Eyal Oren (Associate). They will tell about their experiences at McKinsey and what a project looks like.

The lecture will be in English if non-Dutch-speaking people are present!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

GEWIS fraternity B.O.O.M. is proud to present: the B^x! It will be this years' first outdoor Borrel and it's going to be Brilliant. There's lots of things that you can expect during this Borrel: Burgers made on a Barbecue, Boswandeling (and other cocktails!), Bananas, Berwtensoep, and more things starting with the letter B! (Bad music comes to mind.) The borrel itself will be quite cold, as it is a Bikkel Buiten Borrel, so ensure you dress appropriately.

The event will take place at the HG-Noord veldje (north of the main building) at the TU/e, this Thursday starting at 16:30! The borrel will be longer than usual as well yay.

During this borrel the BAC will still be responsible for your drinks, and introduces a new method of payment for outdoor borrels: coins. A green coin costs 70 cent and can be used to purchase beer or soda (coke/fanta). A red coin equals half a green coin in value. Thus, some products may be more expensive than usual, others may be less expensive than usual - but being outdoors should make up for all that! The price list will be available during the Borrel at the Bar. Coins are also sold at the Bar, and are to be used for everything (including Burgers, cocktails, etc.). They cannot be exchanged for money, only for products at the bar! But, you can also use them during regular Borrels at GEWIS.

See you this Thursday!

With Branches and jumping in trees,

Fraternity B.O.O.M.

-- English version --

Same as every year GELIMBO will celebrate Carnival in Eindhoven. Maybe if you do not come from Rio de Janeiro in Brazil or the Bundesland Nordrhein Westfalen in Germany you are wondering what Carnival exactly is.

Carnival involves a public celebration or parade combining some elements of a circus, mask and public street party. People often dress up or masquerade during the celebrations, which mark an overturning of daily life.

The roots of Carnival are Catholic because the festivities end the day before ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday is the first day of the Lent. The Lent is a period of 40 days in preparation of Easter.

If you want to know more about it's history I would recommend you to just read the wikipedia page about Carnival; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnival.

We hope you will join us in celebrating. We will gather at GEWIS at 19:11 after which we will go into the city to celebrate.

So put on your wildest, your greatest, your funniest, your most original costume and join us with celebrating.

At Tuesday December 11th GEWIS organizes another lunch lecture. This time the lecture is given by Rob Albers, Software Architect at Philips Healthcare.

Title: Software Evolution at Philips Healthcare interventional X-ray (iXR)

Interventional X-ray R&D is responsible for the research and development of X-ray systems used for interventional treatment of heart and vascular diseases (e.g. “dottering” and “stent” placement).Multiple system configurations for different application areas exist, from low end to high end with system software of more than 20 million LOC, programming languages from VHDL to C# and some source code as old as 1988.Every year a major system release is rolled-out with new functionality and improved performance. As a result, a continuous evolution of the architecture and design takes place, based on changed market demands, cost reduction, new technology or architecture degradation. In this lunch lecture, we will discuss practical experiences and common pitfalls with re-architecting strategies, challenges based on architecture degradation and opportunities for model-driven development.

IMPORTANT: At the last lecture we saw many people who subscribed very late, or who haven't subscribed. Ordering food is almost impossible in this case. Because of that, the subscription list will close at Tuesday morning, 9.30h! After then, you can still join the lecture, but there will be no food for you!

One of these challenges is to let an increasing number of components in a software system to function together in a correct and maintainable manner. Michael van de Ven (Sioux) has found help from the formal method perspective with "Analytical Software Design" (ASD). Under the hood a formal method and in practice an effective toolset to work with. Michael experienced that the ASD:Suite toolset proved itself to be a valuable addition to his personal software toolbox. In this presentation Michael takes you along on his experiences at FEI Company where ASD helped him in creating an extension to a complex Transmission Electron Microscope.

Every year, the city of Eindhoven commemorates its liberation after the second world war by putting up lights along a route through the city. This so-called route of lights is a 22-kilometer long track through the city and invites you to explore it by bicycle. As this is more fun when done in a group, SCIFI invites you to join us in cycling this route. We will start in front of the main building at 20:00 on Wednesday 10th October and the tour will take approximately two hours. If you think two hours of cycling is too much for you, you can still join us because you can leave earlier.If the weather is too bad on the 10th, we will instead do the trip on the 12th. You can find more information about the route of light on their website: http://www.lichtjesroute.org/english.

The first Lunch Lecture of this year is finally there! A 'lunch lecture' is an event during lunchtime, where a speaker from an interesting company tells about his discipline, his company and about what he does. During this lecture, lunch is provided free by GEWIS! All you have to do to get lunch, is to subscribe.

This Lunch Lecture is given by Tim Dekker, Test Designer at Sioux Embedded Systems. The subject is "Specification by Example". A description follows here:Are you fed up with those long, abstract and boring system specification documents? Are you longing for a more fun and agile way of creating a specification? This lunch lecture will introduce you to a world of more lightweight and concrete specs, smart tooling to help you create them and automatically verify that your implementation adheres to it. Use 'specification by example' and have your implementation being verified while you sleep!

After the intro the FLUP (follow-up) is coming up. This is a weekend organized aspecially for freshmen, of cource older years student are welcome. We are going to ride our bikes to the secret camplocation, and stop at every pub we come across! After that you get taken away with a minivan to a place in the woods, and we will have a find-your-way-back-hike. Also the fraternities of GEWIS will each organize an activity, including a cantus!

The ACtivities Committee will often collectively order food for members, mostly when there is an ACtivity that night. Participation in the ACtivity is not required, however.

The combination of the coolness of lasers and the fun of gaming is probably what makes AC Lasergaming one of the many very succesful AC activities that are organised at GEWIS each year! That's also why there are already 30 people signed up for this activity on the 18th, but rest assured; it might be possible for more first-year students to join for the low, low price of 1 euro! Don't miss out, like the AC Facebook page (http://facebook.com/GEWIS.AC) and be the first to sign up in case this happens!

On Thursday September 6th the new space of GEWIS will be initiated with a Grand Opening Borrel. With lots of free drink you can come look at the hard work of GEBOUW, the board and the volunteers en raise a glass to the many good years to come.

After getting your laptop you cancome to GEWIS to buy your books and enjoy the borrel (a.k.a. social drink).

This summer the association moved to a new space in Metaforum. Regrettably, we couldn't take all the stuff GEWIS owns, and this stuff will be auctioned off at the GEBOUW Auction Borrel. At this borrel you can bid on things like the committee table, the famous GEWIS bar stools and a disco ball and the highest bidder takes it home. So come have a drink and bid!

We'll kick off the intro with an awesome party at the Miller Time on stratumseind.

Next week it's going to happen. We're going to welcome the new freshmen to Eindhoven and show them our awesome association.

It's that time of the year again when the board has to change! Join the rest of GEWIS and friends to celebrate the start of the new board and congratulate them on their new jobs for the year. They are ready to hit the ground running and need to be slowed down a bit with some drinks!

All drinks are on the house the entire evening, if you needed any more convincing.

See you there!The 30th board
