In late 2009, Dassault Systèmes, France’s largest software company, launched a search for a location to establish a headquarters for its rapidly expanding operations in North and South America. It already had operations in Los Angeles, Charlotte, N.C., and Auburn Hills, Mich.
But ultimately, the global technology firm decided there was only one place to be: Route 128.
Dassault creates software that helps companies conceive, design, make, and improve products, and Route 128 has become the world’s undisputed epicenter of this fast-growing technology, known as Product Lifecycle Management, or PLM.
Virtually every global player in the industry, from Germany’s Siemens AG and SAP AG, to California’s Oracle Corp. and Autodesk Inc., to home-grown Parametric Technology Corp. of Needham, is clustered around the loop once known as ‘‘America’s Technology Highway.’’ There are so many that one consultant suggested a new nickname for 128: ‘‘The PLM Highway.’’
Today, just about every product that consumers touch — the cars they drive, the planes they fly in, the pots and pans they cook with — is likely to have been created with software developed in the area surrounding Route 128.
‘‘It’s not exaggerating to say that PLM customers are basically every large company that makes things,’’ said Oleg Shilovitsky, the consultant and entrepreneur who coined the ‘‘PLM Highway’’ moniker. ‘‘And it’s definitely our cluster. Nowhere else is as good at this as we are.’’
In addition to global players, nearly a dozen smaller PLM operations have sprouted nearby. They include Vuuch Inc., which employs 19 in Sudbury and develops social media applications to help designers, engineers, and manufacturers collaborate, and Omnify Software Inc. in Tewksbury, which sells a PLM software platform and employs 220, including its sales force.Another dozen firms provide specialized analytic and display tools that support the industry, adding to a pool of talent that is perhaps unrivaled anywhere.

The Hadapsar police on Friday arrested a 23-year-old M.Com student for allegedly stabbing to death an engineering diploma student over a relationship with a girl.
The victim has been identified as Mangesh Rathod (22) of Hadapsar, who was doing his diploma in engineering. The incident took place outside the PMPML building at Gadital in Hadapsar on Friday afternoon when Rathod and the girl had come to meet Ramdas Jawale, a resident of Warje-Malwadi.

Senior inspector Pandharinath Mandhare said the 19-year-old girl, who had accompanied Rathod, was earlier in a relationship with Jawale. Mandhare said Rathod was in love with the girl who had an affair with Jawale in the past.

Mandhare said, "On Friday, Jawale had a fight with Rathod over the girl. As the argument continued, Jawale took out a knife and stabbed Rathod in the chest." Rathod was rushed to a nearby hospital where the doctors proclaimed him dead. Jawale ran away but was arrested later following a complaint registered by the girl. Rathod was pursuing his diploma in an engineering college at Manjari while the girl is a second year student in the same college. Jawale is an M.Com student. tnn
A magistrate court on Saturday sent Jawale to police custody remand till May 16. His custody was sought for seizing the weapon and to probe the involvement of any other person in the crime.

John Hogan, who only became chief risk officer in JP Morgan Chase (JPM) in January, will likely be facing some uncomfortable questions following the bank's revelation yesterday it had made $2 billion in trading losses since the beginning of April.
Hogan, 46, who previously been head of risk in the investment banking division, replaced Barry Zubrow as chief risk officer for the whole firm in January, when Zubrow took on the newly created role of head of corporate and regulatory affairs

A second-year mechanical engineering student of a private college in Avadi hanged himself at his Korattur home on Wednesday evening. Police said he took the extreme step because his college — Vel Tech Multi Tech Dr. Rangarajan Dr. Sakunthala Engineering College — abruptly gave him a transfer certificate due to his poor performance in exams.
Korattur police identified the student as Jayakar (19), a resident of Bharati Nagar in Korattur. His father Ravi is a paan seller while his mother died many years ago. On Wednesday evening, he returned home from college and locked himself in his room. His cousin knocked on the door around 5.30 p.m. but there was no response. Finally some people in the house broke open the door and found Jayakar hanging from the ceiling with a sari

A Saudi bombmaker believed behind several failed but ingenious attempted attacks on the West is the most likely creator of an improved "underwear bomb" discovered in a plot foiled by U.S. and allied authorities, security experts and officials say.
Ibrahim Hassan al-Asiri, who once provided the bomb for a suicide mission by his younger brother, a fellow militant, is described by security officials as one of the most dangerous and innovative explosives experts ever to serve al Qaeda

Art historians at the University of California, Riverside, hope to identify people portrayed in 15th-century paintings using the same software used to spot terrorists in a crowd.
The researchers hope the software will be able to find matches between known figures in some portraits and unknown figures in others. First, however, they have to see whether programming designed for three-dimensional analysis will work as well with two dimensions

This is a week of farewell parties on engineering college campuses. Talk to any final-year engineering student, and the most common refrain is likely to be on the lines of, “I am all set for the next phase in an IT company. I hope I am not sent back home after training.” Their seniors, working as engineers, have already passed on some time-tested advice — “Nothing you learnt in college is really going to help. Be ready to start from scratch.”
The fact that students of a professional course view their education through this lens is a deeply worrying trend. The IT industry may account for nearly 70 per cent of campus recruitments in Tamil Nadu, but there is a huge disconnect between what this industry wants and what the university trains the students for. Senior IT professionals, in fact, disagree with a report which found that only about 20 per cent of engineering graduates in Tamil Nadu were employable. Their contention: the numbers are even fewer
