I'll start out by taking a brief tour that covers my past experience on various projects and how those experiences shape my current view of the importance and practicality of end-to-end system

Many complex systems of our day involve autonomous participants who act in their own self-interest and therefore might lie if it benefits them to do so.

User interface tools aid in the design and development of interactive systems.

Diagrams and illustrations are often used to help explain mathematical concepts.  They are commonplace in mathematical and physics textbooks providing a form of physical intuition to otherwise

Research in summarization has been handicapped by a lack of agreement on how to generate a standard summary (which can serve as a reference in the evaluation of alternative approaches).

The field of computer forensics seeks to help investigators reconstruct what happened during a computer intrusion. Did an attacker break in, and if so, how?

Is productivity growth a tailwind or a headwind? What are the dominant forces likely to affect economic prospects in the short run?

This is two presentations concatenated together: Paradigms of Worm Defense: A viable worm defense will be composed of multiple components: Automatic detection, analysis and response, prevention

I will present novel machine learning methods for the discovery of important DNA sequence elements encoded in bacterial genomes.

In a conversation, much can be sensed from the person's eye gazeΓÇöinterested or uninterested, attentive or preoccupied, focused or distracted, engaged or unmindful, wanting to continue or trying to

Inferring regulatory mechanisms based on in silico analysis of regulatory elements has been the target of much research efforts in recent years.

I will present a fast approach to automated generation of textured 3D city models with both high details at ground level and complete coverage for birdΓÇÖs-eye view.

Roughly speaking, a Bergman complex of a matroid is a matroidal analogue of a tropical variety, and a positive Bergman complex of an oriented matroid is an oriented matroid analogue of a positive

This talk will describe the work in image, video and multimedia processing carried out at Multimedia Research Lab at Ryerson University.

The common notion of staying

Location awareness is an important capability for mobile computing. Yet inexpensive, pervasive positioningΓÇöa requirement for wide-scale adoption of location-aware computingΓÇöhas been elusive.

Today's Internet seamlessly connects billions of users that mostly pursue selfish motives in both, single-handed and collaborative ways.

Sensor networks present a novel programming challenge: that of achieving robust global behavior despite limited resources, varying node locations and capabilities, and changing network conditions.

The talk will focus on the study of metric properties of convex bodies B and their polars B^o, where B is the convex hull of an orbit under the action of a compact group G.

Consider the Stochastic Knapsack problem where items have deterministic values but random sizes.

Bridging art and architecture, Christian Moeller's work explores how emergent digital media have transformed our landscapes of experience across multiple scales, from the fleeting granular image to

Millions of academic writers worldwide struggle with typesetting of their documents every day. Hundreds of methods, tricks, and practices evolve in different research groups.

Impala: A Middleware System for Managing Autonomic, Mobile, Wireless Sensor Networks Sensor networks are computer systems with many sensing/compute nodes working to gather information about their

With uniprocessor systems running into ILP limits and fundamental VLSI constraints, parallel architectures provide a realistic path towards scalable performance.

Using a relational DBMS as back-end engine for an XQuery processing system leverages relational query optimization and scalable query processing strategies provided by mature DBMS engines in the XML

The computational model of cryptography views agents as PPT algorithms operating on strings.

Network coding is a new research area that centers on a fundamental and practical question: How much data can be transmitted through a communication network?

Early design decisions in software projects profoundly affect both the properties and the costs of the eventual implementation.

We consider online auction mechanisms for the allocation of $M$ items that are identical to each other except for the fact that they have different expiration times, and each item must be allocated

Group editors are a classic example of Internet-based productivity applications. They allow a group of distributed human users to edit a shared multimedia document over a computer network.
