predictions. The model is based on a novel MAX-like operation on the inputs to certain cortical neurons which may have a general role in cortical function.

Figure 1: Our system takes unstructured collections of photographs such as those from online image searches (a) and reconstructs 3D points and viewpoints (b) to enable novel ways of browsing the photos (c). We present a system for interactively browsing and exploring large unstructured collections

The Sketchpad system uses drawing as a novel communication medium for a computer. The system contains input, output, and computation programs which enable it to interpret information drawn directly on a computer display. It has been used to draw electrical, mechanical, scientific, mathematical

be adapted into powerful attacks agacks sensor networks, introduce two classes of novel attacks agacks sensor networks----sinkholes and HELLO floods, and analyze the security of all the major sensor networkrouting protocols. We describe crippling attacks against all of them and sug@(5 countermeasures

/sleep duty cycle. To handle load variations in time and location T-MAC introduces an adaptive duty cycle in a novel way: by dynamically ending the active part of it. This reduces the amount of energy wasted on idle listening, in which nodes wait for potentially incoming messages, while still maintaining a

the rapidly developing systematic connections between FPT and useful heuristic algorithms | a new and exciting bridge between the theory of computing and computing in practice. The organizers of the seminar strongly believe that knowledge of parameterized complexity techniques and results belongs

We consider the problem of detecting communities or modules in networks, groups of vertices with a higher-than-average density of edges connecting them. Previous work indicates that a robust approach to this problem is the maximization of the benefit function known as “modularity ” over possible

to accommodate a wide range of protocols, yet efficient enough to perform competitively with less structured operating systems. 1 Introduction Network software is at the heart of any distributed system. It manages the communication hardware that connects the processors in the system and it defines

DNA, RNA, proteins, and small molecules. As most genetic regulatory networks of interest involve many components connected through interlocking positive and negative feedback loops, an intuitive understanding of their dynamics is hard to obtain. As a consequence, formal methods and computer tools

Active networks are a novel approach to network architecture in which the switches of the network perform customized computations on the messages flowing through them. This approach is motivated by both lead user applications, which perform user-driven computation at nodes within the network today
