Southeastern Louisiana University’s Department of Computer Science is hosting the second of the fall Industry Connect Distinguished Lectures Oct. 17, at 4 p.m. Scheduled in the Envoc Innovation Lab, located in room 233 in the Computer Science and Technology Building, the free lecture is titled “Modeling Software Development Problems in Time and Thinking Temporally.” Calvin Fabre, founder and president of Envoc, a technology innovation and consulting firm in Baton Rouge and Hammond, will deliver the lecture.
Fabre is a member of the International Standards Organization’s Working Group, which defines mobile driver’s license standards. He has been invited to Washington, D.C., to speak about technology multiple times on Capitol Hill. Whether in Louisiana schools, universities, or youth groups, Fabre enjoys discussing technology, digital identity, company culture, and theology. Envoc has made the Best Places to Work in Baton Rouge list for all eight years it has applied.
“What did our membership look like on Jan. 15 of this year? How many customers were active last year at this time? How many are active today,” asked Fabre. “These are real-world questions for a developer and data modeler. They are all easily answered using a Temporal Data Model. A Temporal entity changes over time, and business processes require the history and future of the item to be queried with ease.”
Fabre’s tech talk will provide a real-world use case and present the simplicity and power of temporally designed entities using SQL. Attendees will despise “Start Date” and “End Date” after this talk,” Fabre said.
Guests are welcome to join in person at the Computer Science and Technology building or virtually via Google Meet. To be added to the RSVP list and receive all event details, email [email protected].
