Group-communication applications are a very promising opportunity for developing valuable MANET-based applications. However, real-world experimental studies are required to indicate the best solutions to implement them. We have implemented a real prototype in which alternative networking stacks can be used to support a distributed Whiteboard application. By means of experimental results we show...

In this scribe, we are going to review the Parallel Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) method. First, we will recap of MCMC methods, particularly the Metropolis-Hasting and Gibbs Sampling algorithms. Then we will show the drawbacks of these classical MCMC methods as well as the Naive Parallel Gibbs Sampling approach. Finally, we will come up with the Sequential Monte Carlo and Parallel Inference f...

Point Distribution Models (PDMs) are statistical mo dels which represent objects whose shape can vary. A useful feature of PDMs is their ability to capture the shape of variable objects within a training set with a small number of shape parameters. This compact and accurate parametrization can be used for the design of efficient classification systems. In this paper we de scribe a classificatio...

Genetic interaction (GI) is a logical interaction between two genes that affects a phenotype some observable characteristics of the organism. Knowledge of genetic interactions can assist in identifying pathways, recognize gene function and find potential drug targets. Modern research tools enable performing large-scale mapping of GIs. In this scribe, the following subjects will be discussed: • ...

If this time does not work for you, you can schedule an appointment by sending an email to Shubhangi. • Grading: There will be about 3 problem sets and everyone will have to scribe notes for one lecture each on an average. • Webpage: The link for the course webpage is http://www.math.rutgers.edu/~ss1984/ complexity-F13.htm. • Recommended Book...

We define a RELOAD Usage for Application Layer Multicast as well as a mapping to the RELOAD experimental message type to support ALM. The ALM Usage is intended to support a variety of ALM control algorithms in an overlay-independent way. Two example algorithms are defined, based on Scribe and P2PCast. Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months and may be updated, repl...

Commercial Users of Functional Programming (CUFP) is a yearly workshop that is aimed at the community of software developers who use functional programming in real-world settings. This scribe report covers the talks that were delivered at the 2012 workshop, which was held in association with ICFP in Copenhagen. The goal of the report is to give the reader a sense of what went on, rather than to...
