Dr. Yuh-Jye Chang

Title: Neat Tools, Java like C++ Cross Platform API, and my life in Bell Labs

Speaker: Dr. Yuh-Jye Chang, Computer Software Researcher at Bell Labs, Alcatel-Lucent

Abstract: In this talk, I wil focus on three topics.

1. Neat Tools: Neat Tools is an object oriented visual programming environment. It is a software application, which allows the user to take many kinds of inputs and program a computer system to respond according to your instructions.

2. Java like C++ Cross Platform API: This C++ API is written follow Java specifications. It's a thin layer between your application and variety of major operating systems including Unix, Linux, Solaris, Windows, and Windows Mobile. By using this API, you can write an application once, complie and run your application natively in the supported platforms.

3. Life in Bell Labs: I think grad student might be interested to know what it is like to work in industrial research lab like Bell Labs. I will briefly introduce my daily life in Bell Labs' US headquarter - Murray Hill.
