Laboratory for Embedded Collaborative Systems (LECS) -- Reading Group

Place and Time

LECS Laboratory - Room 3440, Boelter Hall, UCLA
Tuesdays, 11:00am (please note the time change!)

Schedule for Winter 2002

Aim

The LECS reading group will provide a forum for informal discussion of high-quality recently published papers relevant to networked and collaborative embedded systems research.

Focus

Because of its highly interdisciplinary nature, we expect that we will draw material focussing on embedded systems from several traditional (and non-traditional) areas in EE and CS including

low-power electronics design
mobile and wireless networks
operating systems
network protocols
databases (focusing on adaptive query processing, managing streaming data)
collaborative signal processing (with applications to localization, tracking)
micro-sensors
artificial intelligence
security
ubiquitous computing
distributed computing
robotics
theory and performance modeling
computational geometry; combinatorial optimization
programming paradigms
real-time systems

Occassionally, we will step back and also review papers that may not be directly relevant to our work, but represent an exciting new trend in computer science (for example, peer-to-peer computing systems).

Mode of Operation

Each week the person at the top of the list (mailed and updated by Yan) is responsible for selecting a paper, preparing discussion slides and posting the URL for the paper and slides at least a day in advance to the LECS mailing list.

All LECS members should read the paper and review the slides.

Deborah will randomly pick any one person to lead the discussion.
