Two of the Computer Science graduate students attended the Graduate Research Colloquium hosted by the GSG this week. This is MTU’s largest graduate research showcase and competition with grad students presenting more than 60 research papers. See the article in Michigan Tech Today http://gsg.mtu.edu/grc/. “Improving Caching for Web Applications” by Daniel Byrne Abstract: Web applications . . .
Eric Vasey (CS) presented a research paper, “Development and usability testing of a remote control app for an interactive robot” in the Computer Systems Technical Group and Maryam Fakhr Hosseini (CLS) presented “Robot theater with children for STEAM education” in the Children’s Issues Technical Group.
Myounghoon (Philart) Jeon (CLS/CS) and his three graduate students are attending the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 2017 International Annual Meeting, which began Monday through today, in Austin, Texas.
Tim Havens (ECE/CS) and Tony Pinar (ECE) presented several papers at the IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems in Naples, Italy. Havens also chaired a session on Innovations in Fuzzy Inference. Havens and Pinar also attend the Invited Workshop on the Future of Fuzzy Sets and Systems in Rothley, UK. This event invited leading researchers . . .
It was August 15, 2003. A software bug invoked a blackout spanning the Northeast, Midwest, and parts of Canada. Subways shut down. Hospital patients suffered in stifling heat. And police evacuated people trapped in elevators. What should have been a manageable, local blackout cascaded into widespread distress on the electric grid. A lack of alarm . . .
The Ubiquituous High-Performance Computing Project, funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), initiates research on energy-efficient, resilient, and many-core computing on the horizon for 2018. Faced with the end of Dennard scaling, it was imperative to provide better hardware and software to face energy consumption of future computers, but also to exploit a . . .
