OFMT - default awk output format - is "%.6g", from GNU Awk User's Guide

"5.4 Controlling Numeric Output with print
...
The built-in variable OFMT contains the default format specification that print uses with sprintf when it wants to convert a number to a string for printing. The default value of OFMT is "%.6g". The way print prints numbers can be changed by supplying different format specifications as the value of OFMT, as shown in the following example:

 
$ awk 'BEGIN {
> OFMT = "%.0f" # print numbers as integers (rounds)
> print 17.23, 17.54 }'
-| 17 18

According to the POSIX standard, awk's behavior is undefined if OFMT contains anything but a floating-point conversion specification. (d.c.)"

IEEE OnlineGreenComm - 10 May is “Call for Papers” deadline

View message online - Click here.

IEEE GreenCom is now IEEE OnlineGreenComm IEEE Online Conference on Green Communications (OnlineGreenComm 2013), the virtual forum dedicated to the advancement of energy-efficient communications and green networking technologies, will hold its third annual event from 29-31 October 2013. Rebranded from IEEE GreenCom to reflect the fully online agenda of the entire three-day program, IEEE OnlineGreenComm will consist of nearly one dozen sessions devoted to the development of next wave green communications and energy saving technologies. Interested participants are invited to visit www.ieee-OnlineGreenComm.org for more details including conference updates and submission guidelines. The "Call for Papers" deadline is 10 May for original, unpublished research papers. Held entirely online, the three-day event is designed specifically to enable attendees from all over the world to actively participate in scores of presentations on energy efficiency in an extremely energy-efficient environment. In addition to providing the ability to interact with hundreds of international colleagues, this deeply informative, ecological and educational event will also embrace the latest powerful online conferencing tools to offer a near-physical experience that is both cost-effective and time-sensitive to today's busy schedules. Webcast internationally and then published at IEEE Xplore, IEEE OnlineGreenComm will host a wide selection of keynotes and technical papers on subjects ranging from green communications in LTE networks and multi-period traffic engineering to green optical network survivability and demand response communications services. Other benefits include the ability to present research live and then interact with audience members in real-time with moderator support. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Green Solutions for Communications Technologies including energy-efficient measurement profiling, networking and protocols, communications management, data centers and wired, wireless, vehicular and content delivery networks Green Society Solutions based on Communications Technologies including smart cities, smart sensing, E-health, energy-efficient buildings, energy harvesting, industrial automation, Machine-to-Machine communications (M2M) and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) Smart Grid Communications including advanced metering infrastructure and smart meter technologies, wide-area monitoring and control, demand-response management, distributed generation and storage, operations of renewable energy generation, management & control of distributed energy storage, grid-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-grid and micro-grids Everyone interested in either attending or presenting at IEEE OnlineGreenComm is invited to visit www.ieee-OnlineGreenComm.org for conference updates and/or original paper submission guidelines.  In addition, all website visitors are encouraged to network with colleagues and peers, share their professional experiences or discuss IEEE OnlineGreenComm through the conference's Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter pages.

Paper Conversations: nice idea from Accidental Genius (Mark Levy) – review thanks to Dextronet.com Blog

This seems like an interesting generalization of an effective engineering technique we have used, where one describes how something would be engineered to a colleague *even if* the colleague doesn't understand the details of the implementation.  In describing our plan, we may develop the questions/concerns that we did not understand until we had to cast our ideas into words, such that it could make sense to others.  I really like this book. - Cheers, Connie

 "Hold a Paper Conversation
This one is fun.

You can talk to anyone. Steve Jobs, your local grocer, your grandmother, Oprah, talking owl, yourself 20 years ago or 20 years in the future. Or, you can remove yourself entirely from the situation and produce a discussion between others.

There are two rules to make these conversations successful:

First, when holding a paper conversation with a character, it’s important to make the character as real as possible. Before holding a paper conversation with a character, take a couple of minutes to write about the character. Be as specific as possible. Go as far into detail as you want. Also, don’t forget to think about the place where the conversation is taking place.

Second, get the characters to make you speak. Let yourself do the majority of the talking during the conversation. The character should act mainly as a gentle guide which draws fresh observations from your own words."

[The discussion noted above can be tunneled into by reading the 2nd and third pages of the above-name chapter (pages 62-63 of my 1st edition on my desk). ]
