Umass Amherst Cics Distinguished Lecture

To interact and collaborate with people in a natural way, robots must be able to recognize objects in their environments, ... Title: Towards a Theory of Software Design Engineers make things work reliably and efficiently; designers make them useful. We have developed a "motion microscope" to visualize small motions by synthesizing a video with the desired motions amplified. Finding communities of related nodes is an essential problem in the study of social and biological networks. One of the best and ... Due to the massive adoption of computing platforms that consolidate potentially distrustful tenants' applications on common ... ABSTRACT: Error-correcting codes play a crucial role in safeguarding data against the adverse effects of noise during ...

ABSTRACT: Consider a setting in which inputs to and outputs from a computational problem are so large, that there is not time to ... Computers and humans communicate in order to gain information about the state of the world around them, and to be able to ... Is the universe inherently deterministic or probabilistic? Perhaps more importantly - can we tell the difference between the two? Recent developments in data storage are sparking development of new research directions in Coding and Information Theory, ... ABSTRACT: This talk seeks to illustrate the interplay between theoretical development and engineering implementation, with a ... ABSTRACT: As citizens of the world increasingly rely on the Internet for information and communications, online communication ...
