Meet USC: Admission Presentation, Campus Tour, and Engineering TalkWed, Aug 26, 2015
Viterbi School of Engineering Undergraduate Admission
Receptions & Special Events
This half day program is designed for prospective freshmen and family members. Meet USC includes an information session on the University and the Admission process, a student led walking tour of campus, and a meeting with us in the Viterbi School. During the engineering session we will discuss the curriculum, research opportunities, hands-on projects, entrepreneurial support programs, and other aspects of the engineering school. Meet USC is designed to answer all of your questions about USC, the application process, and financial aid.
Reservations are required for Meet USC. This program occurs twice, once at 8:30 a.m. and again at 12:30 p.m. Please make sure to check availability and register online for the session you wish to attend. Also, remember to list an Engineering major as your "intended major" on the webform!Location: Ronald Tutor Campus Center (TCC) - USC Admission Office

Communications, Networks & Systems (CommNetS) Seminar
Wed, Aug 26, 2015 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Aditya Mahajan, McGill University
Talk Title: Mean Field Teams
Series: CommNetS
Abstract: In many decentralized control systems, in particular, those arising in smart grids and communication networks, the dynamics of an agent are influenced by the state of the others only through the mean-field of the population.
We investigate team optimal control of such systems. By exploiting the exchageability of the agents, we identify an information state and use it to obtain a dynamic programming decomposition of the system. Our solution provides team optimal solution for systems with arbitrary number of agents. The complexity of the solution increases exponentially with the number of agents that allows us solve systems with moderate (100s to 1000s) number of agents.
Joint work with Jalal Arabneydi
Biography: Aditya Mahajan is Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at McGill University, Montreal, QC, Canada. He is a member of the McGill Center of Intelligent Machines (CIM) and Groupe d'tudes et de recherche en analyse des dcisions (GERAD). From 2008 to 2010, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Yale University, New Haven, CT, USA. His principal research interests include decentralized stochastic control, team theory, multi-armed bandits, real-time communication, information theory, and discrete event systems.
