  • Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) have uncovered new hard-to-detect methods that criminals may use to trigger mobile device malware that could eventually lead to targeted attacks launched by a large number of infected mobile devices in the same geographical area. Such attacks could be triggered by music, lighting or vibration.

  • Computer Science students will use UAB’s Alys Stephens Performing Arts Center (ASC) as a canvas for their game, Pacman Revisited, in “Lux Somnia: Light Dreams,” event which will be held May 2-3, 2013 7:30 p.m.. The entire Southern facade of the Alys Stephens Center will be wrapped and transformed into a giant projection screen.

  • Looking for a 12th century chess piece? A custom Rubik’s cube? An exact copy of a seashell, the inside of an eyeball, a relief map of an Egyptian burial ground, or an obscure protein? UAB computer scientist Kenneth Sloan, Ph.D., has them all in stock.

  • UAB Magazine writes about Dr. Saxena and his SPIES research lab: Computer security researchers put themselves into the minds of cybercriminals to figure out what they might do next. Nitesh Saxena, Ph.D., takes a different approach. His mission is to get inside the minds of users—quite literally, in his latest project—to figure out how to protect them from new attacks.

  • UAB ACM Chapter is holding a seminar on Source Control using Subversion and PostgreSQL basics.
