Title: A Vision towards Pervasive Edge Computing
Yuanyuan Yang
Distinguished Professor
Stony Brook University, USA
Program Director, US National Science Foundation
|
 |
Abstract:
This talk presents an emerging pervasive edge computing paradigm where heterogeneous mobile edge devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets, IoT and vehicles) can collaborate to sense, process data and create many novel applications at network edge. We propose a data centric design where data become self-sufficient entities that are stored, referenced independently from their producers. This enables us to design efficient and robust data discovery, retrieval and caching mechanisms. The future research agenda including scalable data discovery, cache management, autonomous processing, trust, security and privacy, incentives and semantic data naming) will be discussed.
Short Bio:
Yuanyuan Yang received the BEng and MS degrees in computer science and engineering from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, and the MSE and PhD degrees in computer science from Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Dr. Yang is a SUNY Distinguished Professor in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering and Department of Computer Science at Stony Brook University, New York, USA. She is currently on leave serving as a Program Director at the US National Science Foundation. She has served as the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs of College of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Stony Brook University and a Division Director of New York State Center of Excellence in Wireless and Information Technology.
Dr. Yang is internationally recognized for her contributions in parallel & distributed computing systems and networking. She was named an IEEE Fellow in 2009 for contributions to the area. Her current research interests include cloud computing, edge computing and mobile computing. Her research group currently develops data center architectures and virtual machine placement algorithms in cloud computing systems, data discovery/retrieval/caching mechanisms in edge computing systems, and wireless energy-charging algorithms and mobile data gathering mechanisms in wireless rechargeable sensor networks.

Title: A Roadmap for the Acceleration of Technology in Computational Science for the next Decade
|
|
S.S. Iyengar, Ph.D.
Distinguished University Professor
Director and Ryder Professor
Florida International University
|
 |
Abstract:
This talk covers a detailed direction for developing a Roadmap in the discipline of Computer Science for the next Decade. Over the past two decades, the science of computing has changed drastically both in the context of theory and applications. Dr. Iyengar is going to cover his experiences of four decades in areas of Sensor Fusion, Quantum Computing and theory of Machine Learning and AI for various applications. The duration of the talk is 1 hour and there will be time for discussions after the seminar.
