Regaining Control Over Mobile and Cloud Data by Roxana Geambasu (Faculty Candidate)
/*Time and Date*/
3:30:00 PM on 2/15/2011
/*Location*/
SSL 150
/*Details*/
Speaker: Roxana Geambasu, University of Washington
Host: Prof. Ramesh Govindan
Abstract:
Emerging technologies, such as cloud and mobile computing, offer previously unimaginable global access to data; however, they also threaten our ability to control the use of our data, its lifetime, accessibility, privacy, management properties, etc. My research focuses on restoring to users control they've ceded to the cloud and mobile devices. In this talk I will describe two examples of this work....read more at event URL-

RRI 101
/*Details*/
Speaker: Dieter Gawlick, Oracle

Talk will be held between 3:30 - 4:30 pm, followed by reception at 4:30 pm.
Abstract:
Patient care - as IT support in other domains - is typically managed by several incompatible programs in terms of their data models and semantics. These programs are focused on specific situation and give doctors a limited view at patient data. The IT technology, however, has evolved to a point that it is now possible to develop...read more at event URL-

Computational Social Choice: A Decision-theoretic Perspective by Dr. Craig Boutilier.
/*Time and Date*/
11:00:00 AM on 2/17/2011
/*Location*/
TBA
/*Details*/
Speaker: Dr. Craig Boutilier, University of Toronto
Host: Prof. Milind Tambe, USC
Abstract:
Social choice, an important topic of study for centuries, has recently been the subject of intense investigation and application within computer science. One reason for this is the increasing ease with which preference data from user populations can be derived, assessed, or estimated, and the variety of settings in which preference data can be aggregated for consensus recommendations. However, mu...read more at event URL-

Path, matrix and triangle problems -- subcubic algorithms and equivalences by Virginia Vassilevska Williams, UC Berkeley (Faculty Candidate)
/*Time and Date*/
3:30:00 PM on 2/17/2011
/*Location*/
SSL 150
/*Details*/
Speaker: Virginia Vassilevska Williams, UC Berkeley
Host: Prof. Ming-Deh Huang, USC
Abstract:
Many graph and matrix problems studied in optimization have relatively simple algorithms which run in time cubic in the number of vertices or rows. Some examples include matrix multiplication and all-pairs shortest paths. These problems have widespread applications, and developing more efficient algorithms for them would have a big impact. In 1969, Strassen gave a clever truly subcubic algorithm...read more at event URL-
