Career Development Workshop January 23rd.
The Department of Computer and Information Science and Engineering at the University of
Florida is excited to announce the 10th Biannual Computer and Information Science and
Engineering Career Development Workshop. The goal of this event is to allow all computer
science / computer engineering students at UF, regardless of their particular major or
College, to interact with top industry representatives from across the field of computer
and information science and engineering in the hopes of fostering mutually beneficial
career and internship opportunities.
Students and Alumni can register by visiting the
Students section.
Interested companies can learn more about the event
including benefits of corporate sponsorship.
Ms. Ting Chen wins Young Scientist Award
Ms. Ting Chen, co-supervised by professors Baba Vemuri and Anand Rangarajan won the "Young Scientist Award" at the premiere Medical Imaging Confrence called MICCAI (Medical Image Computing and Computer Aided Intervention) 2011 held in Toronto, Canada. She got the award for a jointly authored paper titled: "Mixture of segmenters with discriminative spatial regularization and sparse weight selection," Ting Chen, Baba C Vemuri, Anand Rangarajan and Stephan Eisenchenk.

Dr. Thai Receives Provost’s Excellence Award for Assistant Professors
Dr. My T. Thai received a Provost’s Excellence Award for Assistant Professors at the University of Florida. The awards are focused on junior faculty and recognize excellence in research.
Dr. Thai’s research interests are centered on the Combinatorial Optimization and its applications in networks, including communication networks, online social networks, wireless sensor networks, and biological networks.
The results of her work have led to many research grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Department of Defense (DoD), about 60 articles published in leading journals and conferences on networking, 4 edited books including a handbook on optimization in complex networks, and 1 Springer Brief.
Basu and Professor Mishra Receive Best Paper Award at the International Conference on VLSI Design
CISE Ph.D. student Kanad Basu and his advisor Professor Prabhat Mishra received the Best Paper Award for their research paper titled “Efficient Trace Signal Selection for Post Silicon Validation and Debug” at the International Conference on VLSI Design, 2011. The conference was held at IIT Madras, Chennai, India on January 2–7, 2011.
Post-silicon validation is an essential part of modern integrated circuit design to capture bugs and design errors that escape pre-silicon validation phase. A major problem governing post-silicon debug is the observability of internal signals since the chip has already been manufactured. Storage requirements limit the number of signals that can be traced; therefore, a major challenge is how to reconstruct the majority of the remaining signals based on traced values. To address these challenges, this paper describes a novel trace signal selection technique for post-silicon validation and debug.
Chen, Xu, Li and Professor Helal Receive The IEEE/IPSJ SAINT 2010 Best Paper Award
CISE professor Sumi Helal and Ph.D. students Chao Chen, Yi Xu, Kun Li received the prestigious best paper award for their research article entitled “Reactive Programming Optimizations in Pervasive Computing.” SAINT 2010 - the 10th Annual International Symposium on Applications and the Internet is jointly sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and the Information processing Society of Japan (IPSJ).
The paper describes E-SODA a reactive (rule-based) programming model intended for pervasive computing systems along with Atlas Reactivity Engine (ARE) that implements the E-SODA model. Without careful optimizations, reactive programming could turn into a monstrous power drain of the pervasive system and its limited-energy sensor network. Two optimizations targeting energy efficiency and sentience efficiency were introduced and evaluated, based on the adaptive “push/pull envelope” concept.
