DESCRIPTION:Skills Talk: Techniques for significant software engineering t
 asks\, Simon Fothergill\n\nUML How-To\, ways to help verify your program d
 oes what it should and code generation/type-setting\n\nResearch Talk: Part
 icle Filters for Inertial Navigation\, Oliver Woodman\n\nInertial measurem
 ent units offer the opportunity for mobile devices to estimate their physi
 cal state independently. Recent advances in MEMS technologies have\nmade s
 uch units smaller and cheaper\, but also more prone\nto error.\n\nParticle
  filters can be used to model the uncertainty which arises in inertial sys
 tems\, as well as reducing the total error incurred through the fusion of 
 additional measurements and the use of domain specific constraints.\n\nThi
 s talk will present a generic particle filter framework for inertial navig
 ation. The framework is tested by applying it to the problem of pedestrian
  tracking\, using a foot mounted inertial measurement unit.
