Faculty Prepare for Fall Conferences

College of Computing faculty are around the world this summer at key conferences for their fields, with no signs of slowing down this fall. The following professors, researchers and students will again command the room come September as they discuss important developments in their respective fields:

Ph.D. Student Adam McLaughlin, Senior Research Scientist E. Jason Riedy, and Chair David A. Bader from the School of Computational Science & Engineering (CSE) will present "An Energy-Efficient Abstraction for Simultaneous Breadth-First Searches," on September 17, in Waltham, Mass., at the 2015 IEEE High Performance Extreme Computing (HPEC) Conference. HPEC ‘15 is the largest computing conference in New England and is advertised as the premier conference in the world for the convergence of high-performance and embedded computing.

Ph.D. Student Anita Zakrzewska (CSE) will present a paper at the 11th International Conference on Parallel Processing and Applied Mathematics (PPAM ’15) in Krakow, Poland from September 6-9. Zakrzewska is focused on large-scale, streaming graph problems and is advised by Chair David Bader. Also, Bader, Associate Professor Rich Vuduc, and Joint Professor Jeffrey Vetter from CSE are on the tentative list of keynote speakers for this conference.

Wearable technology researchers in the School of Interactive Computing are preparing for the 19th International Symposium on Wearable Computers (ISWC ’15) in Osaka, Japan, Sept 7-11. Professor Thad Starner (IC); PhD Student Abdelkareem Bedri (CS); Senior Research Scientist Peter Presti and Research Scientist Scott Gilliland of the Interactive Media Technology Center, and Research Scientist Clint Zeagler, Institute for People & Technology, and professor in School of Industrial Design, will lead a two-day workshop called “Wear & Tear: Constructing Wearable Technology for the Real World.” The workshop discusses how wearable tech devices and systems are built for durability, and what has been learned while prototypes for research. The group also is awaiting word about the acceptance of papers into the conference. ISWC ’15 is dedicated to research about on-body and mobile technologies.

Vuduc (CSE) was among the creative young engineers invited to the National Academy of Engineering's US Frontiers of Engineering Symposium this September in Irvine, Calif. Two other Georgia Tech professors -- Anna Erickson, assistant professor, Nuclear & Radiological Engineering, and Brian German, associate professor, Aerospace Engineering -- also will attend. Participation at the symposium is by invitation only following a competitive selection process. Chairs Annie Anton (IC) and Bader (CSE) also are alumni of the NAE USFOE Symposium.
