Continue readingLunaris: The better way to produce printed circuit boardsIn this talk, Joost Sannen (embedded software architect at Sioux) will give an overview of the calibration algorithms that are critical for the operation of the Lunaris printer, which introduces a novel approach to printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing by using inkjet technology for the imaging of this circuitry.This new method requires very accurate (~10um) placement of millions of ink drops. Because the machine operates in a highly cost driven market, most of its components have relatively high mechanical tolerances. This is compensated for by automated calibrations. After placement, a Lunaris machine can calibrate itself to the required accuracy without external measurements.The entire calibration process requires more than 15 steps, which are employing computer vision, solving thousands of equations and statistical analysis. An interesting use of mathematics and information technology in a far-from-trivial application.

Dit geld is voor de winnaar die het antwoord weet op die ene vraag: Wie is de Mol? Eén van de deelnemers zal worden benaderd om als mol te fungeren gedurende het weekend. De mol zal elke opdracht proberen te saboteren en weet alles wat er gaat gebeuren. Om de zoveel opdrachten maken de deelnemers een test met vragen over de mol. De kandidaat die de meeste fouten maakt zal direct naar huis worden gestuurd. Alles wordt gefilmd en in het najaar uitgezonden bij GEWIS. Tijdens het weekend moet er ook worden gefilmd, gekookt en meegeholpen worden met de opdrachten. Hiervoor zijn we op zoek naar assistenten. Je kan je inschrijven als kandidaat of assistent. Mocht je liever mee willen als kandidaat, maar indien je wordt uitgeloot mee willen als assistent, kies dan de optie: kandidaat anders assistent. De kosten voor het weekend zijn 35 euro voor kandidaten en 37,50 euro voor assistenten. De eerste, tweede en derde afvaller zullen een gedeelte hiervan terugkrijgen. Kijk voor meer informatie en speluitleg op www.gewis.nl/mol. Vertrouw niemand.

Continue readingTechnical people look at security mostly from a technical standpoint. Are systems fully patched? Have SQL-injection problems been eliminated? Truth is, the technical aspect of security is just a small part of the problem. People are probably the biggest security problem to fix. Social engineering is conning people into giving you information or access to systems or buildings. It is, in most cases, far more easy than breaking in electronically. In this talk, we will look at what makes social engineering work, how to come up with working scenario's and how to try to avoid these problems. The lecture includes examples from actual social engineering assignments and some hilarious clips from the internet.
Continue readingWe are bringing Scandinavia to the TU/e!
Participate in COSMOS & SCIFI’s midsummer festival that takes place on the national day of Norway. Midsummer is one of the biggest events in Scandinavia where people celebrate the longest day of the year.During our outside event you have the chance to participate in different activities, such as Scandinavian games and a beautiful flower crown workshop. Completing several activities will be rewarded with a real Scandinavian drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic). To really get ourselves into the midsummer mood we’ll set up a maypole and might start dancing around it as the evening goes on.
A midsummer celebration would be nothing without a BBQ and a few drinks. Therefore we will provide you with the opportunity to get food from the BBQ. The bar committee of GEWIS will also sell beer and soft drinks. The price for the food depends on the amount of people that want to BBQ but it can be expected somewhere around 5€. Please keep in mind that signing up for food means paying!
There are 20 places each for COSMOS and GEWIS (excluding SCIFI members). Don't worry if the event is full, sign up anyway and we'll put you on the waiting list. Also let us know if you are going to BBQ with us and whether you’d like to have the alcoholic or non-alcoholic version of the Scandinavian drinks. If you are planning to drink alcohol, don’t forget to bring your ID.
Hoping to see you there!

We will be visiting the distillery in Tilburg and get to know the details of this liqueur.

The program at Schrobbelèr is from 16.30h until 18.30h. For this excursion, we arranged a bus from the TU/e to Tilburg and back. Around 15:15h we will walk from GEWIS to the bus at the parking on the east side of Metaforum. This bus leaves at 16.30, and no later than that, so be sure to be there on time! You can pay your 10 euros in the bus, so please take 10 euros with you on this trip. On the way back, we will have a nice sandwich for all of you; we expect to be back at GEWIS around 20.00h. Please note that the whole tour is in Dutch, but as a non-Dutch speaker you are of course welcome to join if you like!

However, this time we will be doing it a bit differently, instead of serving you a collection of handpicked super spannende special beers, we will be serving you only Trappists. For those who do not know what a Trappist is, firstly SHAME! Secondly I refer you to lmgtfy.com/?q=trappist. Now comes the best part, we will not only serve you Trappists we will serve you ALL 11 Trappist in existence!

This marvelous event will take place the 8th of May. A set of all 11 beers will cost you around 30 euros, but due to the generally high alcohol percentage you will have to share the 11 beers with one of your friends. Both of you will receive your own special cute BAC Lustrum beer tasting glass which you can bring home to cherish the memories and taste beer from.

A not so long time ago, there was a meeting between a hand full of opportunists. They had a borrel and were sharing the most exaggerated stories about their foreign experiences. After some stories were shared an marvellous idea came to mind. Why not make some stories in which we all have a part. Because we all know, an event is remembered its stories, but lived by the people who experienced it.Not long after that “de stuurgroep†was formed and the idea was put into a concept. Now two months later we proudly present the BAC Foreign Weekend to Gent.For this weekend we will take care of only the bare basics. We will provide an hostel and we will provide an excursion to the beer brewery of the tasteful Delerium. We expect you to take care of the trip to Gent and to create the great stories which we can all share afterwards. Please subscribe fast because there will be only 30 places. We will however keep a waiting list if there are weaklings that unsubscribe.
See you in Gent.De Stuurgroep

Continue readingThe Operations Research Conference (ORC) is a collaboration of the study associations Asset|Econometrics, GEWIS and Industria, of respectively Econometrics & Operations Research in Tilburg, Applied Mathematics, Software/Web Science and Data Science, and Industrial Engineering in Eindhoven. On 26 April 2017, the second edition of the ORC will be organized. The discipline of Operations Research revolves around researching, developing and applying advanced mathematical, analytical models in order to facilitate the improvement of decision-making. This places Operations Research at the heart of many contemporary problems, helping organizations and companies create efficient and useful systems. Organizations in both the private and public sector have always relied on professionals using Operations Research for making informed, intelligent decisions. It thus has always had a strong connection with industry. Many companies make use of Operations Research in order to improve various processes, and therefore test and beat the limitations within their own company and within the market. Operations Research has always been the key element to go further, to innovate and to push the boundaries. Nowadays, with the ever increasing speed with which technology develops, the growing importance of globalization and a fast changing market, being able to think out of the box and beat the limits is essential. There are numerous ways to push boundaries, by recreating the way you think about logistics, by beating the infinite amount of available data, by being innovative in how and when to select personnel. There is no limit to what one can optimize with Operations Research to make a company more efficient and better prepared for the future. During this year’s Operations Research Conference, the main focus will therefore be how to beat the limits. Companies will show how they push boundaries, innovate and go beyond what seems possible. It will promise to be a very inspiring and informative day and hopefully exceed the limits of your expectations. http://orconference.com/lectures-and-cases/ Program: 09:15-09:45 Registration 09:45-10:00 Welcome 10:00-10:30 Opening Plenary Speech 10:45-11:30 Parallel Company Lectures – Round 1 11:30-11:55 Short Break 11:55-12:40 Parallel Company Lectures – Round 2 12:40-13:30 Lunch 13:30-15:45 Parallel Company Cases 16:00-16:30 Closing Plenary Speech 16:30-16:45 Closing 16:45-18:00 Network Event NB: 3rd year bachelor students and master students of mathematics will be given priority.

We will discuss the relationship between security, IT-strategy and training/educational programs. Of course the revelations of Edward Snowden and the implications for security and IT-strategy won’t remain untouched and we will have a closer look at industrial automation and similar matters. Concrete examples of measures against so called advanced persistent threats, such as digital warfare and industrial espionage, will be discussed as well. Because nobody is boring enough to be clear of any secrets. Because everybody has got something to hide… Who is Arjen Kamphuis? Arjen Kamphuis studied physical science at the University of Utrecht and was an employee of IBM and worked for Twynstra Gudde as an IT-architect, trainer and IT-strategy advisor. He is a certified IT-auditor and information security expert (CISA, CISM). Arjen helps out companies, public institutions and a number of national governments to develop an IT-strategy that revolves around security. In order to keep his knowledge up to date he reads a megabyte of text every day and technical specialists, researchers and (former) spies brief him regularly with the latest information. Next to his job as advisor, he trains journalists and NGO-employees in practical information security and counter surveillance so they are able to operate safely in dangerous countries. At Brunel, Arjen essentially leads a team of information security specialists who work on digital security in leading organizations in The Netherlands on operational level as well as on policy level.

Dan is GEPWNAGE LaTeX in the Dark iets voor jou!Het idee van de activiteit is simpel: gegeven een voorbeeld-pdf, maak hem in een kwartiertje na. Maar, dat zou natuurlijk te eenvoudig zijn... vandaar dat je het resultaat tussendoor niet mag zien! Zodra de tijd voorbij is worden alle resultaten getoond, en kunnen we zien of er iemand ook maar enigszinds in de buurt is gekomen...
Wees gerust! Wij snappen ook wel dat voor sommige mensen dit veel te hardcore is. Daarom zorgen wij ervoor dat je wél alle errors te zien krijgt, en uiteraard kunnen wij je ook helpen wanneer dat nodig is. Je mag ook in teams meedoen, als je dat fijner vindt.
Deelnemen is natuurlijk ontzettend gratis. Neem wel je eigen laptop + oplader mee!

Continue readingIs printing dead?
If you think that printing is awesome, this this talk is for you. If you think printing is boring, it might be even more for you! We are going to show you how amazing the digital printing world is and how it advances the graphic arts state-of-the-art. What does that mean for you as an end user? You may not know that when ordering a rare book online, the retailer does not need a storage full with possibly unsellable books. In fact, you do not need to wait weeks for the book shipment from the other end of the world; it is printed on demand on a machine so fast that it can produce thousands of different books per month. What does that mean for you as a software developer? Hristina Moneva will share with you her typical working day, the range of challenges in different (embedded and system control) projects as well as her experiences with model-driven development. Do you have another question about software development in the high-tech digital printing domain? Just come and ask her in person...

There are a few different package deals which can be bought, starting at a price of 135 euro for a complete tailcoat (basis, without shoes). Naturally, it is also possible to only buy the parts you want in stead of a whole package deal. For more information, take a look at their website www.gents.nl.

We will go to Valkenswaard for this ACtivity and we want to try to go there by car. Therefore we would also like to ask you if you have a car available to drive there. There is also the possibility to go there by bike, which means that it will take you approximately 45 minutes. It is possible to use the public transport, but we definitely don’t recommend it, because it will take longer. The ACtivity will begin at the trACk around 19:30, which means that the cycling group will leave at 18:30 at GEWIS. The ACtivity will end at the trACk at approximately 22:00, so everybody should be bACk in Eindhoven at 23:00. As usual, we also give you the possibility to have dinner with us for only €6,-. So, if you want to have the ride of your life, subscribe at the GEWIS-website!
PS. Consuming alcoholic beverages before or during the ACtivity is prohibited.
PS: Because of the limited space at the Karting center only the first 30 people on this list can join us.

Risicomodellen: Hoe haal je de rotte appels uit de mand?
Ongestructureerde data: Je hebt een map met .pdf's en dan? Tekstmining met behulp van grafen(databases).
Pseudonieme analyse: Hoe vind je de bad guys terwijl je de privacy van de good guys beschermt?

Continue readingOn Saturday the 4th of February a new group of Erasmus Exchange students will join our lovely University. As GEWIS we have the privilege to give them an introduction about the Dutch Culture and the TU/e. In order to get the Exchange Intro to be a succes, we need a buddy for every exchange students.
A buddy gets into contact with the student before he or she arrives in the Netherlands. The exchange student then has the opportunity to ask questions about anything. Besides mailing the person you will meet your buddy on the 4th of February and have an amazing day together.
During the day you will have a small talk by the faculty, followed by a talk about the Dutch culture (given by an exchange student). Afterwards there is a lunch, after which there are some games planned. Around 16:00 the games will be finished and we will start a SCIFI themed Pub Quiz, followed by food and drinks. At the end of the day we are going to party at Stratum!
We need at least 15 buddies and I hope you can be part of them! If you do not want to become a buddy, but want to be present during the day, you are welcome to help. Please note that all drinks and food will be free of charge.
If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask them.
Continue readingOn February the 20th, a crash course is given by Alten. Bram Dil comes to the TU/e to give a presentation about localization of wireless devices with a focus on unobtrusive localization. Unobtrusive localization means that the wireless device and its user are not aware of being located. For example, wifi-enabled smartphones transmit signals that can be intercepted for localization purposes. This system is for example employed by several stores in the Netherlands to investigate customer behavior. A similar system was also implemented and deployed at the UT for several years for crowd monitoring.
The systems named above only work when Wifi is enabled on the smartphone, however one can also intercept GSM signals transmitted by a smartphone using a fake cell tower. A fake cell tower emulates the behavior of a legitimate cell tower to fool unaltered smartphones to connect with it. At Liu, they used this localization system in search and rescue operations and localizing rhino poachers.With the rise of the Internet of Things, there are billions of wireless devices that require localization, which is still a topic of research. The goal is to maximize localization performance with minimum effort. Bram believes that similar unobtrusive techniques can be used to obtain this goal. For those new to the topic, he gives an overview on the topic, for the hobbyists he gives pointers to make such a system themselves. The crash course will start at 14.00 in MF6. Afterwards he will be available for talks, questions and possible graduation projects while enjoying a nice drink.

As you might have heard at the last GM, a company has asked us for anonymized data of the SuSOS accounts of our members.

Continue readingDo you want to get an insight in the work of a front-end software engineer at a larger company? Do you want to see how a modern and state-of-the-art web application is built? Do you want to know what an professional development process looks like? At ORTEC we optimize just about everything for the largest multinationals, from calculating airline ticket prices to optimizing the supply chain of oil companies to improving vehicle routing at logistics customers. These mathematical solutions need to be presented in a modern and user-friendly web application. In this presentation Thijs Langeveld (Frontend software engineer) will show you what a web application at ORTEC looks like, which tools are involved and how the (agile) development process for a typical web application is set up. He will also explain what his role is in this comprehensive operation. You will discover what steps are involved to assure the quality of web applications and to satisfy the customer's needs, which can both be challenging, and you will get a glimpse of the latest tools used in the process of building a web solution. Topics that will be touched are agile development, requirements analysis, UI/UX design, maintaining a codebase, continuous integration, tooling for web development, automated tests and automated deployment. Don’t miss it! If you are not a member of GEWIS, but still want to join the lecture, please mail me at ceb@gewis.nl!
Continue readingNow that 2016 is coming to a close, and it's customary to make New Years resolutions around this time of year, it would be a catastrophe for “In Vino Veritas†not to partake. As many of you might know “In Vino Veritas†enjoys “gezelligheid†and the Burgundian lifestyle. That’s why one of our New Years resolutions is as follows: “To more often create, partake and enjoy “gezelligheid†at GEWISâ€. Because “In Vino Veritas†takes their New Years resolutions very seriously, we will be organizing a “Maand’lijksche borrel†(where “gezelligheid†is always held in the highest regard) on 16-01-2017. Each and everyone of you is welcome to attend the “Maand’lijksche borrel†starting at 5pm. During this drink you will be able to enjoy several cocktails, which will all be based on Prosecco. However, this does not mean that there won’t be any traditional wines during the “Maand’lijksche borerlâ€. Since the core message of our New Years resolutions are focused on “gezelligheidâ€, not having an alternative for anyone who might’ve had a few to many Prosecco in the days prior to our “Maand’lijksche borrel†would be inappropriate. During the “Maand’lijksche borrel†“In Vino Veritas†will also be serving an array of delicious refreshments.Do not hesitate to join us - dressed appropriately- in enjoying a refreshing cocktail or a fruity wine at GEWIS

Once you have eliminated your target, the target hands you his target, and you can carry on. However, if you are spotted during your pinching by another person, the murder is invalid. Your target will stay alive, and you can try to murder him some other time.

If you don’t understand Dutch, it is probably pretty hard to participate in this TV-show, but of course we won’t stop you if you’d like to join us anyways, just to experience the recordings of a TV-show!

People at GEWIS always play a lot of card games, like Spades. One game that is not being played that much is Bridge. Bridge is seen as an ‘ old-people’ card games, but it seems to be an interesting tactic card game for everyone!
To get GEWIS familiar with Bridge, there will be 4 different Thursday afternoons in quartile 2 (before the borrel) where the Bridge course will take place. Experienced Bridge players will come to GEWIS and explain the game. It will start off with the basics, and later on it will be more advanced with some nice tips & tricks. It is not recommended to miss a course, since you will miss some necessary information. if you know in advance that you will miss a course, please contact the board.
The courses take place on:
17th of November
1st of December
8th of December
15th of December
After the 4 courses there will be a closing tournament, where everyone can show off their gained Bridge skills! This will happen on Monday 19th December in the evening.

Continue readingA lecture by Yuriy Savelyev who studied at the TU/e and now works for Prodrive Technologies. Prodrive Technologies is a fast growing technology oriented company delivering high-tech products to customers around the world. We are a company employing over 700 FTE (300+ FTE in development) with an average age of 28 years.. We believe in the strength of young developers taking responsibility in inventing and developing state of the art products for our customers. One of the fields software engineers at Prodrive Technologies are active in is warehouse automation. Almost all warehouse processes are defined by custom-made software, following the “define and create our own dream process†principle of the company. Projects discussed during the meeting involve not only bookkeeping of electronic component stocks, but also interfacing with mechanical storage machines as large as a building, heuristics for efficient order picking, user interface programming and elegant back-end software architectures. One of the team members will share the enthusiasm for the freedom and creativity of being an (academic) software engineer at Prodrive Technologies and the path of discovery in applying logic, process algebra, algorithmic thinking, domain-driven design, functional programming, event-driven and geographically distributed architectures and other fundamental or cutting-edge techniques in some of the projects. Oh, and LaTeX, git and other cool tools too ;)
