A Non-checkpoint/restart, Non-algorithm-specific Approach to Fault-tolerance
Hierarchical or tree-based overlay networks (TBONs) are often used to execute data aggregation operations in a scalable, piecewise fashion. We present state compensation, a scalable failure...

Designing Algorithms
This presentation is a tour of different paradigms to design algorithms using one of the most classical algorithmic problems: searching. Starting from sequential search and adding either resources...

Tools of the Trade: Enhancing Privacy in Participatory Sensing
The increasing availability of sensors in today's smartphones and other everyday devices, carried around by millions of people, has opened up the possibility of new ways of information...

User Experience Design for Internet of Things
Internet of Things is recently mentioned as one of the disruptive technologies to change our daily life. For the economical development in regional areas, how IoTs can be...

Applying Graph Theory to Digital Forensics
Graph theory is an area of discrete mathematics that is used to model the relationships between entities. Previously, graph theory has been used to model network traffic, biological systems, and...
Cryptographic Backdoors
This is an overview of cryptographic backdoors, their function and purpose. Specific research is discussed including examples such as Dual_EC_DRBG and backdoors in RSA. This is appropriate for...
Exploring nonlinear dynamics and emergence
This talk first provides an overview of nonlinear dynamics and emergences, as well as their relationship to computing. Then methods for mathematically modeling both nonlinear dynamics and...
Steganography
This lecture begins with an overview of steganography, including the history of steganography techniques. Basic current methods (LSB and DCT) are discussed. The lecture then describes more...

The Beauty and Joy of Binary Numbers
(This is meant for the general public, especially young children)

In this interactive demonstration, we explain binary numbers, the foundation of electrical engineering and...

Evaluation of Video Quality of Service in Wireless Networks
Computer simulation is the research tool of choice for a majority of the wired and wireless network research community and these days most of research works on the network adopt computer...
Futuristic Wireless Networks for Multimedia Applications
Nowadays the IP video traffic over the wireless network is continuously growing due the advances in wireless network technologies and smart mobile communication devices. It is estimated that...

Universal Design in Learning
It is a well-known fact that the human learning experience is not universal. Consequently, when developing instructional materials, we must be cognizant of techniques and procedures that...

Neuromorphic Computing and Deep Learning - Technology, Hardware and Implementation
As big data processing becomes pervasive and ubiquitous in our lives, the desire for embedded-everywhere and human-centric information systems calls for an "intelligent" computing...

Collaborative Decision Making in Complex Adaptive Systems
Collaborative decision making in complex adaptive systems refers to an analytic viewpoint that looks beyond an individual’s cognition to include strategic interactions of individuals...
Social Network Analysis: Introduction, Key Problems, Applications
This lecture provides introduction to social network science and then proceeds to highlight key representative problems in this area. Finally, it presents several applications of social...
Strategic and Computational Aspects of Social Network Science

This lecture provides the conceptual underpinnings of the use of game theoretic models as well as online multi-agent learning models in social network analysis and brings out how...

String Inference and (non)Lexicographic Ordering
In this lecture we will discuss two interesting but possibly less studied topics from string combinatorics. We will divide the talk into two parts. In the first part, we will briefly present...

Resource Management in Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is an increasingly popular paradigm of offering services over the Internet; it is also an active area of research. One key area that calls for innovative approaches, is...
Sustainability in IT Systems
While we all appreciate the ways in which information technology (IT) has revolutionized society, it is becoming increasingly obvious that the full benefits of IT will be available to us...

Computational imaging: Using computing for optics and optics for computing
The discipline of computational imaging involves the design of both the optics and the digital signal processing to achieve a desired digital output. The electro-optical system is hence best...

Distributed User Interfaces.
Distributed User Interfaces (DUIs) are user interfaces whose elements are distributed in time and space in order to support one or many users to carry out one or many tasks on one or many domains...
