Those of you taking CS 450 (Intro to Networking) might be interested in the topic. On the Wed., April 23rd, Michelle Daniels of UCSD will be presenting an introduction to her streaming audio system, ?SAM?, which is used in UIC?s EVL and was recently recognized at AES 135 as the graduate design gold award. Here is a little abstract of about the presentation. *Introduction to Audio Networking and an Open Source Dynamic Networked Audio System* *Abstract:* This talk will give an introduction to the world of audio networking, providing an overview of how digital audio samples and control data can be transported across a network and introducing commonly-used network-based protocols such as the Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) and Open Sound Control (OSC). In the process, we will distinguish between audio networking systems using OSI Layers 2 and 3 and discuss the use of UDP vs. TCP for transport in Layer 3 systems. Some applications of audio networks will be presented with a focus on enabling remote collaboration over wide-area networks. The talk will culminate with a discussion of the speaker?s award-winning open-source software for dynamic audio networking and its use in remote collaboration environments. *Speaker:* Michelle Daniels, graduate researcher from University Of California, San Diego *Presented by: *Audio Engineering Society at the University of Illinois at Chicago (AES at UIC) *When:* Wednesday, April 23th, 2014 @ 5:15PM *Location:* SEO 236 If you have any questions, please contact aesatuic at gmail.com.

What is Ludum Dare you ask? Great question! It is an online global game jam that occurs every few months or so. Here is a link for more of the specifics: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ Make sure to register and have account ready by Friday if you plan on entering. I plan on being in the ACM during the competition hours from Friday-Sunday. I will probably be there after my last class, which should be after 6 pm on Friday. Feel free to join me, I'll probably pick up some drinks and snacks as well. Although this is a solo game jam where all games must be made individually, I will be around if you want to learn more about game development or want to take a stab at making your first game. It actually isn't as intimidating as you might think! I hope to see you there. If you have any more questions, feel free to e-mail me.
