Meet USC: Admission Presentation, Campus Tour, and Engineering Talk
Mon, Oct 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

CS Seminar: Dr. Hoa Khanh Dam (University of Wollongong) - Predicting delays in software projects using networked classification
Mon, Oct 26, 2015 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Hoa Khanh Dam, University of Wollongong, Australia
Talk Title: Predicting delays in software projects using networked classification
Series: CS Seminar Series
Abstract: One of the challenges in (software) project management is to make reliable prediction of delays in the context of constant and rapid changes inherent in (software) projects. In this talk, I will present our recent work in data-driven software engineering to provide automated support for project managers and other decision makers in predicting whether a subset of software tasks (among the hundreds to thousands of ongoing tasks) in a software project have a risk of being delayed. Our approach makes use of not only features specific to individual software tasks (i.e. local data) - as done in previous work - but also their relationships (i.e. networked data). In addition, using collective classification, our approach can simultaneously predict the degree of delay for a group of related tasks. Our evaluation results show a significant improvement over traditional approaches which perform classification on each task independently.
Biography: Dr Hoa Khanh Dam is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Computing and Information Technology, University of Wollongong, Australia. He holds PhD and Master degrees in Computer Science from RMIT University, and Bachelor of Computer Science degree from the University of Melbourne in Australia. His work has won multiple Best Paper Awards (at WICSA, APCCM, and ASWEC) and ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Award (at MSR). His research has been published in the top venues in software engineering (ICSE, ASE, ER), AI/intelligent agents (AAMAS, JAAMAS), and service-oriented computing (ICSOC and BPM). He served as Program Co-Chair for the 17th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Multi-Agent Systems (PRIMA) in 2014. Other major international conferences that he has been involved with include AAMAS (PC), ICSOC 2015 (Publication Chair and PC), ASWEC and EDOC 2015 (Publicity Chair). Prior to his academic career, he spent a number of years in the industry at various positions, including technical architect, project manager and software engineer. He is Associate Director for the Decision Systems Lab at the University of Wollongong. His research interests span across a number of areas in data-driven Software Engineering (e.g. applications of data mining and machine learning into software engineering), model-driven development and evolution, agent-oriented software engineering, service-oriented engineering and business process management.

Seminars in Biomedical Engineering
Mon, Oct 26, 2015 @ 12:30 PM - 01:50 PM
Alfred E. Mann Department of Biomedical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Damien Rodger, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Clinical Ophthalmology at the USC Eye Institute
Talk Title: Biomedical Microdevices for Use in Ophthalmology and Spinal Cord Injury
Series: Seminars in Engineering, Neuroscience & Health (ENH)
Abstract: The problems of outer retinal degeneration (ORD) and spinal cord injury (SCI) affect millions of people worldwide, often resulting in devastating blindess and para- or quadriplegia that strongly impair a person's activities of daily living and impact their level of happiness. to help thwart the effects of these diseases, novel flexible microtechnologies have been developed for functional electrical stimulation and recording in retinal and spinal cord prosthetics. Topics to be discussed include a revolutionary dual-metal-layer micro-electrode array fabrication scheme as well as high-density scalable packaging efficacy of these arrays in stimulating the neural targets and demonstrate their biostability. In addition, new devices are being investigated for intraocular pressure sensing as well as for ophthalmic patch grafts, which will briefly be discussed.
Host: Stanley Yamashiro, PhD
