Using Process Definition and Analysis Techniques to Reduce Errors and Improve Efficiency in the Delivery of Health Care by Prof. Lori Clarke
/*Time and Date*/
3:30:00 PM on 2/3/2011
/*Location*/
SSL 150
/*Details*/
Speaker: Prof. Lori A. Clarke, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
Host: Prof. Nenad Medvidovic, USC
Abstract:
As has been widely reported in the news lately, heath care errors are a major cause of death and suffering, and health care inefficiencies result in escalating costs. In the University of Massachusetts Medical Safety Project, we are investigating if process definition and analysis technologies can be used to help reduce heath care errors and improve heath care efficiency. Specif...read more at event URL-

/*Details*/
Speaker: Ankur Moitra, MIT
Host: Prof. David Kempe, USC
Abstract:
Suppose we are given a gigantic communication network, but are only interested in a small number of nodes (clients). There are many routing problems we could be asked to solve for our clients. Is there a much smaller network - that we could write down on a sheet of paper and put in our pocket - that approximately preserves all the relevant communication properties of the original network? As we will demonstrate, the answer...read more at event URL-

Sparse Matrix Factorization, Mesh Modification, and Real-Time FEM Simulation by Dr. James F. O'Brien
/*Time and Date*/
3:30:00 PM on 2/10/2011
/*Location*/
SSL 150
/*Details*/
Speaker: Dr. James O'Brien, UC Berkeley
Host: Prof. Jernej Barbic, USC
Abstract:
This talk will discuss the use of dynamic remeshing and sparse matrix factorization in the context of real-time dynamics simulations. The first part of the talk will focus on two systems that have been developed for specific applications: destructible environments in "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed" and interactive modeling of prostate brachytherapy. Although dynamic remeshing is often dismissed as impracti...read more at event URL-
