Manage your references
For all of you who want to have all your references organized in a clear way, I recommend you
JabRef. It is a java program (this means it works on any platform: windows, linux, mac) that allows you to:
- classify your bibliographic references (BibTex) in groups
- associate them to pdf files you may have on your hard drive
- laaunch the default pdf viewer from there
- link them to webpages or Citeseer references
- search on them
- export all of them to a html file
- etc...
Very useful for later integration with your paper writing or documentation research.

Chaos In Computer Performance , Chaos
Excerpts: Modern computer microprocessors are composed of hundreds of millions of transistors that interact through intricate protocols. Their performance during program execution may be highly variable and present aperiodic oscillations. (...) Our results present pieces of evidence strongly supporting that the high variability of the performance dynamics during the execution of several programs display low-dimensional deterministic chaos, with sensitivity to initial conditions comparable to textbook models. Taken together, these results show that the instantaneous performances of modern microprocessors constitute a complex (or at least complicated) system and would benefit from analysis with modern tools of nonlinear and complexity science.

Karaoke time
We have recovered the
pictures from the previous karaoke session we organized on November, and also some amazing
videos of our department collegues singing popular songs.
Please, watch them and try not to laugh too loud ;)
Science's 10 Most Beautiful Experiments
Robert P. Crease, a member of the philosophy department at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and the historian at Brookhaven National Laboratory, recently asked physicists to nominate the most beautiful experiment of all time. This is the result.
