The VIDi (Visualization and Interface Design Innovation) research group had a strong presence at VisWeek 2009 (Vis, InfoVis, and VAST Conferences) with six paper presentations, two contest awards, a panel presentation, and an invited talk at the NSF FODAVA Forum.
Prof. Prem Devanbu has been selected to receive an IBM Faculty Award of $20,000 to support his research in Empirical Software Engineering. The letter from IBM states: "This award is highly competitive and
recognizes the quality of your program and it's importance to our industry."
PhD students Debalina Ghosh and Ashima Gupta worked with their advisor Professor Prasant Mohapatra for publishing their paper "Adaptive Scheduling of Prioritized Traffic in IEEE 802.16j Wireless Networks," that has won the Best Student Paper award at the IEEE International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Computer Networks and Communications (WiMob), 2009.
Dr. Sean Peisert and Prof. Matt Bishop have been awarded a 3-year, $300,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to work on research in intrusion detection on massively parallel supercomputers and ultra high-speed networks. This work will be performed in conjunction with colleagues from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the International Computer Sciences Institute, and will investigate the unique security properties and usage patterns of high performance systems and networks, develop formal models of those, and leverage the models to increase security capabilities.
