Title:Lecture Series in Computer Science Speaker:Prof. Ivan Stojmenovic, University of Ottawa Time:2008 年12 月15 日(星期一)上午10:00 - 11:30 Venue:南京大学蒙民伟楼109 室 1. How to write articles in computer science and related engineering disciplines This talk advocates a general way of presenting research articles on any topic and in any field related to computer science, information technology, and relevant engineering disciplines. Some examples and implications are given for the case study of wireless sensor networks. The key advice to a successful presentation is to repeat the description of main contribution four times: in the title, abstract, introduction (or chapter 1) and in the text. That is, make readable, appealing, and as complete as possible versions of the work using the order of 10, 100, 1000 and 10.000 words. This corresponds to the decreasing portion of readers for corresponding parts of the article. To the extent possible, each of these parts should address, in this order: the problem statement, existing solutions, the new solution(s), assumptions and limitations, analysis, simulation and comparison with best competing solutions. 2. Contribution of applied algorithms to applied computing There are many attempts to bring together computer scientists, applied mathematician and engineers to discuss advanced computing for scientific, engineering, and practical problems. This talk is about the role and contribution of applied algorithms within applied computing. It will discuss some specific areas where design and analysis of algorithms is believed to be the key ingredient in solving problems, which are often large and complex and cope with tight timing schedules. The talk is based on recent Handbook of Applied Algorithms (Wiley, March 2008), co-edited by the speaker. The featured application areas for algorithms and discrete mathematics include computational biology, computational chemistry, wireless networks, Internet data streams, computer vision, and emergent systems. Techniques identified as important include graph theory, game theory, data mining, evolutionary, combinatorial and cryptographic, routing and localized algorithms. 报告人简介: Prof. Ivan Stojmenovic received Ph.D. degree in mathematics.
