UCSD computer scientists take the 'why' out of WiFi
09-04-2007 · EurekAlert!UCSD computer scientists have designed a system that automatically analyzes the behavior of all the WiFi connections in the UCSD computer science building. "In the end, we can say 'it's because of this that your wireless is slow or has stopped working' -- and we can tell you immediately," said computer science professor Stefan Savage, a senior author on the paper presented last week in Kyoto, Japan, at ACM SIGCOMM, the premier computer networking conference.

- Genomic variation easier to identify with UCSD/Brown software
12-22-2006 · EurekAlert!
Computer scientists at the University of California, San Diego, and Brown University have created a software system that more accurately detects "microinversions," mutations that consist of tiny sequences of reversed DNA. The software gives biologists a powerful new tool to study genomic variation between and within species. The system is explained in the online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

- Controlling bandwidth in the clouds
08-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
UC San Diego computer scientists have designed, implemented, and evaluated a new bandwidth management system for cloud-based applications capable of solving the problem of lack of bandwidth control. The UCSD algorithm enables distributed rate limiters to work together to enforce global bandwidth rate limits, and dynamically shift bandwidth allocations across multiple sites or networks, according to current network demand.

- Mimicking how the brain recognizes street scenes
02-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists in Tomaso Poggio's laboratory at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT developed a computational model of how the brain processes visual information and applied it to a complex, real world task: Recognizing the objects in a busy street scene. The researchers were pleasantly surprised at the power of this first application of a biologically inspired computer model for artificial vision, which has many potential practical applications.

- MIT: Computer vision may not be as good as thought
01-24-2008 · EurekAlert!
For years, scientists have been trying to teach computers how to see like humans, and recent research has seemed to show computers making progress in recognizing visual objects. A new MIT study, however, cautions that this apparent success may be misleading because the tests being used are inadvertently stacked in favor of computers.

- New research may lead to better climate models for global warming, El Niсo
12-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
From nine different countries, 150 scientists are starting a program to gain insights about the Earth's climate and the complex system involving the oceans, atmosphere and land. They are studying the Southeastern Pacific Ocean off South America's west coast -- research that should improve global computer climate models, which would lead to improved predictions about global warming and El Niсos, said C. Roberto Mechoso, UCLA professor of atmospheric and oceanic sciences, who chairs the program.
