Computer and Network Security Workshop
 The training aims to equip the faculty members with basic knowledge on computer security and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). These two courses will be offered by the institute for the coming semesters and will need instructors capable of teaching the course using hands-on exercises. Prof. Joseph Hermocilla, together with his Systems and Research Group (SRG), spearheaded the first part of the workshop. They demonstrated how malwares exploit the buffer of a computer. An exercise was given after the discussion. Subsequently, Prof. Danilo Mercado tackled the main parts of an unmanned aerial vehicle or drone. He shared how different sensors can be attached to it to gather relevant data. He concluded his talk with the future research topics on drone modelling and programming. (by Donnalyn Drio) |

SRG to handle course on Computer and Network Security
The course will be offered during the First Semester AY 2017-2018 as a Special Topics (CMSC 191) course. Computer systems process and store information that must be protected from unauthorized access and use. The ubiquity of the Internet further amplified the security threats to these systems. This course aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills in identifying threats and vulnerabilities, and developing protection mechanisms for these systems. As there is a growing demand for security specialists in various industries, this course will help the students be introduced to the basic skills required for successful careers in cyber security. Eventually, this is will be an elective course (CMSC 138) for students taking the BSCS degree. The course will cover theoretical and practical aspects of security. |
SRG members gave talks at Math in Action 2017
 SRG members Ms. Dyanara Dela Rosa and Ms. Miyah Queliste gave talks at the Math in Action 2017 event last February 11-12, 2017. The event sponsored by SAM-UP, a student academic organization in UPLB, was participated by students from different high schools around the country. The objective of the event is to expose the students to a competitive environment to train them for future national math competitions.  Dyanara delivered topics on the use of mathematics in animation while Miyah discussed mathematics in gaming. Students actively participated in the talks, especially in the demonstration and hands-on activities. Both speakers noted that the students were very interested in the topics since most of them can relate to animation and gaming. |
