Faculty Activities

(in reverse chronological order)
  • Together with Prof. Barry Lawson, of University of Richmond, Prof. L. Felipe Perrone presented the Simulation 101 Workshop at the 2012 Winter Simulation Conference, in Berlin, Germany, on December 8th, 2012. The six hour-long workshop was a thorough introduction to computer simulation for professionals in industry and academia.
  • On June 10th, 2012, Prof. L. Felipe Perrone gave a talk in the IEEE Real World Engineering Program Workshop, at the Annual Conference of the American Society for Engineering Education, in San Antonio, TX. The talk "Public Service Announcement Movies Made with the Alice Programming Language" introduced the audience to Prof. Perrone's ENGR 100 seminar, which received a $10,000 award in 2011. This seminar underwent three stages of peer reviews is available to instructors around the world for classroom adoption.
  • Prof. Richard Zaccone has written a book on Seaside, a web application development framework for the Smalltalk language. The book is entitled "Dynamic Web Development with Seaside" and was co-written with Michael Davies, Stéphane Ducasse, Lukas Renggli and C. David Shaffer. It is available online at http://book.seaside.st/
