Google Summer Of Code 2013

[Alina Rublea]

Hello

My name is Alina Rublea and I am a third year student of Computer Science at Politehnica University of Bucharest.

A heard about your project three days ago and it sounded very interesting.

I had my first experience in working with functional programming last year by attending a University Course of Programming Paradigms  and i liked it very much.

That summer I participated at Functional Programming Summer School 2012 where we studied Haskell and Scheme and graduated it .

My curiosity made me want to learn more about Functional Programming so I enrolled  in a Coursera Class called "Functional Programming Principles in Scala" held by Martin Odersky .I liked Scala from the beginning  firstly because it was Functional Programming and also because it was Object Oriented and looked a lot like Java(which i also liked) , but i never thought that i would find a Scala project to be involved in.

I also worked with graphs since they have so many applications in : Networking ,Image Processing, Social Sciences.

I have knowledge about BFS,DFS, shortest path algorithms like Dijkastra,Bellman Ford and Floyd Warshall , also of minimum Spanning Tree Algorithms :Kruskal, Prim ,Max Flow Algorithms Ford Fulkerson and Edmonds-Karp.  

I also  implemented   an Image Segmentation Program of .pgm files using Edmonds-Karp in Java and 

Link-State Protocol using Diskstra to compute the shortest path and the next_hop

for the routing table in C. 

  .                                 

I am interested to know details about graph compression and about what Scala requirements are needed.

Yours sincerely

Alina Rublea

Hi Alina,

Apologies for the late response. Thanks very much for the interest, and I think your background definitely sounds relevant. The background requirements are not very strict at all, and I think you easily qualify. The following paper is a good example of the kind of graph compression techniques we are thinking about: http://vigna.dsi.unimi.it/ftp/papers/LayeredLabelPropagation.pdf Of course we are very happy to hear your ideas too!

Looking forward to your application!
Aneesh.
