Talk title: Managing Sensor Network Resource Usage and Monitoring Active Volcanoes
Speaker: Ph.D. candidate Geoffrey Challen
Host: Prof. Ramesh Govindan
Abstract:
Sensor networks composed of large numbers of self-organizing embedded devices are an increasingly valuable tool for understanding our world. Deployed networks allow scientists to observe phenomena at a scale and resolution that challenge existing instrumentation. Some call this new instrument the macroscope.

Title:
Combining Planning and Optimization for Rough Terrain Locomotion
Abstract:
Motion planning for rough-terrain legged robots is a difficult task, not only due to the high dimensionality of robot configuration spaces, but also due to the variety of kinematic, dynamic, and collision constraints which need to be met at all times. While producing optimal walking behavior is desirable, searching the space of all posible robot motions remains intractible for non-trival robotic systems. I...read more at event URL-

Title: A Shapley Value approach to Internet Economics
Host: Prof. Leana Golubchik
Abstract:
Internet service providers (ISPs) depend on one another to provide global network services. However, the profit-seeking nature of the ISPs leads to selfish behaviors that result in inefficiencies and disputes in the network. From a macroscopic view, this concern is at the heart of the Network Neutrality debate, which asks for an appropriate...read more at event URL-

Talk Title: The Radio for iPhone App ecosystem: A Case Study
Speaker: Dr. Marco Papa (Intersect World LLC)
Host: Prof. Ellis Horowitz
Abstract:
With over 100,000 apps, 50,000 independent developers and two billion downloads, iPhone App development is one of the few job descriptions that have withstood the economy downturn. Many of the iPhone Apps make use of a number of Web Technologies: HTTP, HTML, XML, XSLT, JSON, CGI Perl, PHP, and Java. Using the Radio App for the iPhone as an example,...read more at event URL-
