Video Interviews at WUSS 09 Conference

New media has made it possible for a non professional like me to become a reporter. I did an experiment at a recent conference in San Jose. I took my Canon Elph which is normally used for taking pictures and switch on its video mode. It is so small that members that I interviewed barely noticed it was there. I then talked to the attendees at the conference in their area of expertise similar to what I use to do in the traditional blogging days where I would write up the blog based on the interview. The difference this time is upon completion of the interview, I would upload the videos directly to YouTube and whoa.. la... there it was. I did not edit it or do anything.

I realize that while holding the camera on my hand, it was not on a tripod so it was perhaps not stable and I was looking at the person I was talking to so the composition was not optimal but this adds to the whole amateur video blogging experience. This experiment of one man on the fly reporting was interesting. I hope to do it again at future conferences.

I will include some of the videos below for your viewing.

Clinical Trials Terminology for SAS Programmers

Image
Introduction The drug development process is a clinical process that has its own language. It is not required that SAS programmers function as a MD or a regulatory expert, but working knowledge of the terminology is important to be effective. This section will walk through the drug development process from discovery to Phase IV. It will explain a wide range of acronyms such as IND, NDA , GCP and MedDRA . It will also describe some of the terminologies used within the process of clinical trials as a drug is developed and submitted to the FDA . This will give SAS programmers a larger perspective and context to their work during the analysis and reporting of clinical trials data. This section will tell a fictitious story about a college graduate named James who is starting a new position at a pharmaceutical company. Each new term James encounters is presented in bold and italicized for emphasis. As he enters a new professional world, he meets many people and learns new processes that...

SAS iPhone App Architecture

Image
The delivery of SAS data and reports to an iPhone application is unique and requires a different architecture as compared to traditional client server systems. This is similar to web applications in how it is delivered to a browser but in this case, the application replaces the browser. The diagram below illustrates the components of the iPhone SAS application architecture including: the iPhone application , a web server and the BI Flash server. In this example, the iPhone application on the iPhone communicates through standard TCP / IP protocol to a web server. The web server then communicates to an application server which is actually a SAS session processing SAS programs and data. The output resulting from the SAS program is then delivered back to the iPhone in a similar way a web browser would access a web page the serer. The distinction however is that the iPhone application is not a web browser and the SAS session running on the server is more dynamic compare to ...
