Alturkostani, Hani Eftikhar (University of Idaho), “Mitigation Strategies for Safety Applications in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks Subjected to Jamming” (2016)

Alturkostani, Hani Eftikhar (University of Idaho), “Mitigation Strategies for Safety Applications in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks Subjected to Jamming” (2016) Advisor: Krings, Axel The term Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) refers to the technologies, services, and applications that allow vehicles to communicate with each other (V2V) and also with fixed infrastructures (V2I) and (I2V).

Worm, AnthonyView Profile (State University of New York at Binghamton), “Prioritized Grammar Enumeration: A novel method for symbolic regression” (2016)

Worm, AnthonyView Profile (State University of New York at Binghamton), “Prioritized Grammar Enumeration: A novel method for symbolic regression” (2016) Advisor: Chiu, Kenneth The main thesis of this work is that computers can be programmed to derive mathematical formula and relationships from data in an efficient, reproducible, and interpretable way. This problem is known as Symbolic Regression, the data driven search for mathematical relations as performed by a computer.

E.T. Still Can’t Phone Home, But Signal Processing Solves Many Technology Challenges

Pete Wyckoff, Signal Processing Consultant & IEEE Member

In 1982, E.T. was stranded on Earth and his fate depended upon phoning home using a Texas Instruments Speak & Spell – a child’s toy – precariously wired to a Columbian coffee can and a dingy turntable record player, which appeared to be playing a circular saw rather than an actual record. The Speak & Spell was a contemporary marvel built upon years of engineering research into speech synthesis. Computers could talk to us in 1982; nonetheless phoning a distant galaxy with such a makeshift contraption presented a few obstacles. Although challenges prevail – for good reasons – signal processing and systems engineering help to overcome many of the barriers.
