Alfred Watkins presented a paper entitled "Support for Scalable Video Using Parallelism With Merging" at the IS&T/SPIE Symposium on Electronic Imaging: Science & Technology, Storage and Retrieval for Still Image and Video Databases Conference 1996 on Friday, February 2nd. Keith Edwards got doctorized at the end of fall quarter and is now living in San Francisco and working at Xerox PARC. There he is working with the Bayou Project, doing research in weakly-consistent distributed data sharing, with an emphasis on mobile computation. Keith is specifically looking at issues related to collaboration and awareness in the presence of wireless networks and PDAs. He is also investigating the upper bounds on number of buzzwords in one paragraph.
Jeff Byron's paper entitled " PARSYNTH: A Case Study on Implementing a Real-Time Digital Audio Synthesizer " authored by Byron A. Jeff and Karsten Schwan has been accepted as a short paper in the 4th Int'l Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Real-Time Systems (WPDRTS) to be held April 15-16, in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Q. Alex Zhao went to Sun Microsystems, Inc., SunSoft
Designed, prototyped, and implemented a graphical monitoring application for the Solaris Distributed Object Environment (now called Solaris NEO). An ORB client object encapsulates the monitoring system consisting of a Motif front end which interacts with the user, a back end which communicates with other objects distributed on the network, and an animation engine which continuously updates work-group and host statistics in real-time using the RenderWare(TM) 3D graphics library.
Yusuf Goolamabbas spent the summer at Schlumberger Austin Systems Center developing a graphical well log data editor.
Several CoC Graduate Students are involved in the ACOG Olympic Envoy program.
The Georgia Tech Cognitive Science site was awarded "Three Stars" out of four by the Internet indexing service Magellan. The star ratings are used by Magellan to winnow out less promising sites; any search for "three or more stars" will include us.
The site was designed by Anthony Francis with the assistance and contributions of Ashwin Ram, Mark Devaney, Mike Cox, Mimi Recker, Mike Byrne and a whole host of other web hackers in the Cognitive Science program. Thanks!
