Research Towards an Eco-System of Cognitive Wireless Devices
Tue, Mar 23, 2010 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
University Calendar
SPEAKER:
Preston Marshall,
Director, Wireless Networking,
Information Sciences Institute, Viterbi School of Engineering,
University of Southern CaliforniaABSTRACT:
Increasing demand for wireless information services, fixed, and inflexible, access to spectrum, and overtaxing of cellular and backhaul infrastructure have combined to create opportunities for radically different wireless communications architectures. These emphasize devolved network control, adaptive topologies, and dynamic interference avoidance and mitigation that are inherent in the devices and networks.While much of the research in cognitive radio has been focused on Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA), this talk will focus on the use of DSA to address even more fundamental challenges to wireless networks, including increasing their density, transition to inherent interference tolerance as a principle for spectrum management, multiple routes and transceiver topologies, and adaptive network modes that integrate content, and content access patterns, into the consideration of network topologies.It will be shown that these adaptations also offer the opportunity to lower the cost of wireless devices, through reduction in several of the driving cost and energy considerations, such as front-end linearity, through the use of DSA to select environments. To support the generalization of this analysis, a closed-form model for the spectrum in signaling channel and front-end environments will also be described.The talk will also include a brief discussion of some of the wireless research programs at ISI.BIO:
Preston Marshall is Director for Wireless Networking at the Information Sciences Institute, where he leads research programs in wireless, networking, cognitive radio, alternative computing, and related technology research. For most of the last decade, he has been at the center of cognitive radio research, including seven years as Program Manager for the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), where he lead many of the key cognitive radio and networking programs. These programs demonstrated the viability of key aspects of cognitive radio technology, including Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA), adaptive wireless networking, content-based networks, and low cost, DSA-based, multi-transceiver adaptive networking. He has numerous journal and conference publications, was awarded the Software Defined Radio Forum's Annual Achievement award, has been a guest editor for IEEE Proceedings, is the Executive Committee chair for the IEEE International Symposium on Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks (DYSPAN) Conference, and is the author of Quantified Analysis of Cognitive Radio and Network Performance, due for release in July 2010. Dr. Marshall holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Trinity College, Dublin, IE, and a BS in Electrical Engineering, and an MS in Information Sciences from Lehigh University, PA.HOST: Dr. Giuseppe Caire, caire@usc.eduLocation: Hughes Aircraft Electrical Engineering Center (EEB) - 248

Stochastic Workforce Optimization Via a General Stochastic Loss Network
Tue, Mar 23, 2010 @ 03:30 PM - 04:30 PM
Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering
University Calendar
DANIEL J. EPSTEIN DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL & SYSTEMS ENGINEERING SEMINARTitle: "Stochastic Workforce Optimization Via a General Stochastic Loss Network"Speaker: Dr. Yingdong Lu, Research Staff Member, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, NYABSTRACT: We discuss a stochastic loss network approach for workforce capacity planning. Nonlinear optimization problems are formulated to capture business values of a successful workforce deployment. Essential probabilistic and algorithmic issues in solving this class of optimization problem will be presented in detail. More specially, we describe a Gaussian fixed-point approximation for calculating the loss probabilities in a stochastic loss network with general renewal arrivals, and shows that it is asymptotic exact under proper scaling. Furthermore, we discuss two other loss probability approximation algorithms whose errors can be more accurately estimated.TUESDAY, MARCH 23, 2010, ANDRUS GERONTOLOGY BUILDING(GER) ROOM 309, 3:30 – 4:30 PM

Solution Methods to Problems that Involve Discrete Choice Constraints
Tue, Mar 30, 2010 @ 03:30 PM - 04:30 PM
Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering

DANIEL J. EPSTEIN DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL & SYSTEMS ENGINEERING SEMINAR:Title: "Solution Methods to Problems that Involve Discrete Choice Constraints"Speaker: Dr. Stephen Stoyan, Visiting Assistant Professor, Daniel J Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, University of Southern CaliforniaABSTRACT: There are a number of practical problems in health care, supply-chain management, energy, and finance that involve the decision or selection of a subset of elements within the system. In each case, the problem equates to solving a mixed-integer program with discrete choice constraints. Due to an inherent NP-hard subproblem, such models are difficult to solve and commercial solvers will not provide optimal solutions. We present an iterative penalty algorithm that takes advantage of problem structure and generates solutions for practical instances. The algorithms performance is illustrated in a financial example involving portfolio selection, where the results are compared to a commercial solver and other approaches. Even greater performance is achieved for large-scale instances when uncertainty is added to the problem. Such designs can be applied to patient scheduling and supply-chain network models, where the approach represents a markedly different but effective method with respect to the literature. We show that the algorithm performs remarkably well in comparison to a well-known benchmark and solutions are generated within reasonable time frames.TUESDAY, MARCH 30, 2010, ANDRUS GERONTOLOGY BUILDING, (GER) ROOM 309, 3:30 – 4:30 PM
