Women in Technology International (WITI) is looking to leverage rising interest in this issue to attract more people to attend its annual event, either in person or online.WITI was founded in 1989 by Carolyn Leighton in recognition that women back then weren’t being paid or treated fairly in the technology industry. And while some would say things have come a long way, the percentage of women in the US IT workforce has actually been on the decline since around then.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More Datameer adds governance tools for Hadoop analytics Data-profiling tools help companies find and fix issues such as inconsistent or invalid data Read More WHITE PAPER: NopSec, Inc.

What’s more, the technology could have future applications for predicting employee performance.SmartGPA is a cloud-backed app that relies on embedded passive sensors as well as special algorithms that can determine behaviors by the phone user, from studying to partying to face-to-face-communications to sleep. That information can then be crunched to predict students’ GPA within 17 hundreds of a point, according to Andrew T. Campbell, who co-authored paper on the research with colleagues from Dartmouth and the University of Texas at Austin.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More INSIDER VMware 6.0: Faster, smarter, more resilient VMware 6 pays more attention to high availability and large deployment than prior editions—with a kick to the throttle in terms of overall speed of scale, not just size of scale.
