DESCRIPTION:Skills Talk: MATLAB – The Language of Technical Computing\, 
 Will Carson\n\nMATLAB is a numerical computing environment that allows eas
 y matrix manipulation\, plotting of data\, and interfacing with programs i
 n other languages. There is a huge supported library of toolboxes that wil
 l enable simple and effective implementation of complex scenarios.\n\nSkil
 ls Talk: Kernel Development:  A Primer\, Rip Sohan\n\nKernel development i
 s the process of modifying system behaviour at the OS level through modifi
 cation of the OS itself.  Traditionally\, it has been viewed as a large-ef
 fort low-return exercise to be avoided and\nleft to skilled individuals.  
 However\, due to recent advances in both hardware and software architectur
 e this view is rapidly becoming outdated.\n\nIn this skills talk\, and wit
 h emphasis on the Linux OS\, I will outline the mechanisms for kernel deve
 lopment in a modern environment. Specifically\, the talk will focus on: (i
 ) getting started\, (ii) gaining experience\, (iii) minimising development
  effort and time and (iv) alternatives to kernel development.
