USENIX has a special interest group for system administrators, SAGE.

It sponsors several conferences and workshops each year, most notably the USENIX Symposium on Operating Systems Design and Implementation ( OSDI ), the USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation ( NSDI ), the USENIX Annual Technical Conference, the USENIX Security Symposium, the USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies ( FAST ), and with SAGE, the Large Installation System Administration Conference ( LISA ).

SAGE is the USENIX Special Interest Group for Sysadmins, an international nonprofit professional association of system administrators.

In June 2004, SAGE was dissolved as a Special Technical Group to prepare for a spin-off from its parent organization, USENIX.

On October 27, 2005, the USENIX Board, by a 4-4 vote, failed to approve a motion to progress the separation of SAGE from USENIX, declaring instead that SAGE is better as a suborganization.

LISA is the Large Installation System Administration Conference, co-sponsored by the computing professional organizations USENIX and SAGE.

The holiday has been recognized and promoted by many IT professional organizations, the League of Professional System Administrators and SAGE / USENIX.

Auerbach discusses his work at Burroughs 1949 – 1957 managing development for the SAGE project, BEAM I computer, the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile System, a magnetic core encryption communications system, and Atlas missile.

Instead, this effort evolved into the SAGE system for the US Air Force, which used large screens and light guns to allow operators to interact with radar data stored in the computer.

Post-war government-sponsored research at MIT included SAGE and guidance systems for ballistic missiles and Project Apollo.

The Semi-Automatic Ground Environment ( SAGE ) was the Cold War operator environment created for the automated air defense ( AD ) of North American and by extension, the name of the associated network of radars, computer systems, and aircraft command and control equipment (" SAGE Defense System ") to replace the United States Air Force " manual air defense system " ( Col John Morton ).

Each DC provided radar netting for an Air Defense Region using data from numerous remote Air Force Stations each manned by SAGE radar squadrons operating several radars for searching / detecting, height finding, and for those which guided Bomarc missiles, tracking radars.

Each SAGE DC provided data to a Combat Center for " supervision of the several sectors within the division " and which had an IBM AN / FSQ-8 Combat Control Central that gave " each combat center the capability to coordinate defense for the whole nation "

The tubes developed for Whirlwind were later used in the giant SAGE air-defense computer system.

This presentation was about the development of software for SAGE.

The Cape Cod System verified that the new core-based machine was fast enough for use in SAGE, and an industrial effort was started in order to mass-produce the AN / FSQ-7 computers for this role.

Whirlwind I ran in a support role for SAGE until June 30, 1959.

Soon after that the Whirlwind was used for the Cape Cod early warning system, a precursor to the SAGE Air Defense System.

The SAGE system was a network linking Air Force ( and later FAA ) General Surveillance Radar stations into a centralized center for Air Defense, intended to provide early warning and response for a Soviet nuclear attack.

The Ground Air Transmitting Receiving ( GATR ) Site ( R-18 ) for communications was located at, approximately 1. 1 miles souh-southwest from the SAGE building.

The SAGE system was a network linking Air Force ( and later FAA ) General Surveillance Radar stations into a centralized center for Air Defense, intended to provide early warning and response for a Soviet nuclear attack.

Responsibilities for the SAGE system were switched to the Duluth ADS, ( DC-10 ) or the Detroit Air Defense Sector ( DC-06 ).

In 1959 Malmstrom was performing air-traffic-control duties for the FAA, and joined the SAGE system on 1 March 1961, the squadron being redesignated as the 801st Radar Squadron ( SAGE ).

For example, the USENIX association requires that the author only give up the right to publish the paper elsewhere for 12 months ( in addition to allowing authors to post copies of the paper on their own website during that time ).

StackGuard was released for GCC in 1997, and published at USENIX Security 1998.

He has also been Executive Director of both the USENIX Association and the Sun User Group, and Vice President of the Free Software Foundation ; in addition, he has worked for several high tech startups.

The later, more popular versions of the BSD daemon were drawn by animation director John Lasseter beginning with an early greyscale drawing on the cover of the Unix System Manager's Manual published in 1984 by USENIX for 4. 2BSD.

Ts ' o served as Treasurer for USENIX until June 2008, and has chaired the annual Linux Kernel Developers Summit.

Kuhn received a USENIX student grant scholarship for his thesis work., which focused on dynamic interoperability of free software languages, using a port of Perl to the Java Virtual Machine as an example.

Johnson served on the USENIX board for ten years, four of those as president, and is now the USENIX representative to the Computing Research Association.

" In 2008, Cantrill, Mike Shapiro and Adam Leventhal were recognized with the USENIX Software Tools User Group ( STUG ) award for " the provision of a significant enabling technology.

The Bluetooth Innovation World Cup, a marketing initiative of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group ( SIG ), is an international competition encouraging the development of innovations for applications leveraging the Bluetooth low energy wireless technology in sports, fitness and health care products.

The Bluetooth SIG announced the start of the second Innovation World Cup on 1 June 2010, with a focus on applications for the sports & fitness, health care, and home information and control markets.

The SIG also manages the Bluetooth SIG Qualification program, a certification process required for any product using Bluetooth wireless technology and a pre-condition of the intellectual property license for Bluetooth technology.

The main tasks for the SIG are to publish the Bluetooth specifications, protect the Bluetooth trademarks and evangelize Bluetooth wireless technology.

In addition to its professional staff, the SIG is supported by its more than 16, 500 member companies who participate in the various working groups that produce the standardization documents and oversee the qualification process for new products and help to evangelize the technology.

* International Association for Suicide Prevention ( IASP )-Special Interest Group-Clusters and Contagion in Suicidal Behaviour ( Aim of the IASP Special Interest Group ( SIG ) on Clusters and Contagion in Suicidal Behaviour is to bring together interested people in research, prevention and policy, who can share information and expertise in clusters and contagion effects in suicidal behaviour worldwide ).

NSAM 341 assigned the Secretary of State official responsibility for the overall direction, coordination, and supervision of interdepartmental activities overseas and created a mechanism to carry out the responsibility consisting of the Senior Interdepartmental Group ( SIG ), chaired by the Under Secretary of State, and several Interdepartmental Regional Groups ( IRGs ) beneath it, each chaired by an Assistant Secretary of State.

Critics observed that 10 IG meetings prepared the way for each SIG-level meeting, and 5 SIG meetings were needed to prepare for each NSC meeting.

It designated the Secretary of State as chairman of the Senior Interdepartmental Group for Foreign Policy ( SIG ( FP )), and established a " permanent secretariat, composed of personnel of the State Department ," augmented " as necessary " by other agency personnel requested by the Secretary of State, to deal with foreign affairs matters.

To assist the SIG ( FP ), the Secretary of State set up Interagency Groups ( IGs ) for each geographic region, politico-military affairs, and international economic affairs.

Glocks tend to be in the middle of the price range for quality pistols: generally less expensive than similar SIG Sauer P226 and Heckler & Koch USP pistol models, but more expensive than Ruger or Taurus models.

SIG agreed to pay the artists one thousand dollars a week for at least forty hours of work.
