DESCRIPTION:Skills: Generic Programming in C++\, Tom Craig\n\nUsing generi
 c programming\, we can write code that is type-agnostic whilst remaining t
 ype-safe. In this talk I'll introduce the major concepts and outline some 
 scenarios where generic programming leads to particularly efficient\, safe
 \, readable code. I'll concentrate primarily on C++ and its template facil
 ities. \n\nSkills: Using MATLAB with test and measurement instruments\, Ru
 oshui Liu\n\nAs we know\, the MATLAB is a powerful numerical computing env
 ironment and programming language. Created by the MathWorks\, MATLAB allow
 s easy matrix manipulation\, plotting of functions and data\, implementati
 on of algorithms\, creation of user interfaces\, and interfacing with prog
 rams in other languages.  In this skill talk\, the functionality of commun
 icating with instruments by applying MATLAB built-in Instrument Control To
 olbox is going to be explained. This brief introduction will equip you wit
 h some practical techniques to effectively generate data in MATLAB to send
  out to an instrument (e.g.\, function generator\, oscilloscope)\, or read
  data into MATLAB for analysis and visualization by using the Instrument C
 ontrol Toolbox.\n
