Abstract: A distinctive feature of HCI is its concern with how and why people use interactive computer systems. This matters because improved understandings of people's perceptual, cognitive and social abilities (and needs) can directly inform the design of novel systems, applications and features. This talk will...
Abstract: Since the dwan of semicoductor age at 1950's, there were two basic mechanisms of cycle - the standardization and customization direction. During the standardization cycle, standard discrets, memorirs, microprocessor are domanated in the market, while the custom LSI, ASIC were dominated at the customization one....
Abstract: Motion planning and control algorithms for multiple nonholonomic vehicle systems are presented. The main problem to tackle is twofold: minimizing the travelling time of the slowest vehicle and designing a tracking controller for each vehicle such that the use of collision avoidance motions can be...
Data movements, when not carefully optimized, can easily dominate the execution time and energy consumption of running data-intensive applications. This is particularly true with modern computing systems with increasingly high degree of concurrency. Therefore, software that minimizes the data movements will play a key role...
In an era of $10/GB overage fees and 108% growth in demand for mobile data, Smart Data Pricing (SDP) will play a major role in ensuring the sustainability and economic viability of the Internet. SDP includes time/location/app/congestion dependent pricing, usage based pricing with demand shaping,...
NAND Flash memory who has been the winner of the nonvolatile memory (NVM) race in the last decade is now facing its ultimate scaling limit in two dimensions (2D). To increase the bit density per unit area various types of three dimensional (3D) NAND Flashes...
Abstract: Multimodal 3D/4D image/motion analysis for moving organs such as heart and tongue during the speech play an important role to provide a set of objective parameters to interpret quantitatively the motion and establish quantified comparisons. In this talk, I will present two recent and novel...
The power wall has resulted in a sharp turn in processor designs, and they irrevocably went multi-？core. Multi-？cores are good because they promise higher potential throughput (and never mind the actual performance of your applications). This is because the cores can be made simpler and...
Medical imaging has been an effective tool for diagnosing diseases including cancer and coronary artery disease, but there are still challenges such as reducing motion artifacts, minimizing toxic radiation dose, and reducing scanning time. These challenges reduce the SNR of the measurements. Model-based image reconstruction...
Recently, the convergence of cyber and physical spaces has transformed traditional embedded systems into cyber physical systems (CPS), which are characterized by tight integration and coordination among computation and physical processes by networking. In CPS, various embedded devices with computational components are networked to monitor,...
