Time Zone

The program is currently displayed in (GMT-07:00) Tijuana, Baja California.

The GMT offsets shown reflect the offsets at the moment of the conference.

Time Band

By setting a time band, the program will dim events that are outside this time window. This is useful for (virtual) conferences with a continuous program (with repeated sessions).
The time band will also limit the events that are included in the personal iCalendar subscription service.

Abstract

Software Engineering tools today are hampered by weaknesses in parsing and analysis tools. For example, there are no standard repositories of grammars for the most popular programming languages. If an organization has software written in Python, Java, Bash, SQL, HTML, CSS, Javascript and so on, there is no readily available mechanism to parse and analyze all of the software in a unified manner. This paper describes a collection of tools for parsing and analyzing many different languages, including legacy languages like COBOL and Fortran. The primary goal is scalability; dealing with a single programming language and a limited number of programs is far simpler than dealing with millions of lines of code written in many different languages.
