Number of college students in computing has declined since 2000 by more than 70%. Women and minorities are highly underrepresented. Students are exposed to computing education late in high-school or in college. At that point, the population sampling is already geared towards students already interested in computers. This approach results in the small number of students and more importantly in t...

This survey paper examines the issue of female under-representation in computing education and industry, which has been shown from empirical studies to be a problem for over two decades. While various measures and intervention strategies have been implemented to increase the interest of girls in computing education and industry, the level of success has been discouraging. The primary contributi...

This paper examines the potential benefits that Cloud Computing can bring to the area of brain segmentation with regard to satisfactory technical and user evaluations. It explains eleven APIs associated with each brain segment, as well as the process of capturing data in regard to each segment. Functionality and experiments associated with each API are discussed. Dancing is chosen because data ...
