Greedy Routing with Guaranteed Delivery Using Ricci Flows
Mon, Nov 09, 2009 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Dr. Jie Gao
Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science,
Stony Brook UniversityAbstract: Greedy forwarding with geographical locations in a wireless sensor
network may fail at a local minimum. In this paper we propose to use conformal
mapping to compute a new embedding of the sensor nodes in the plane such that
greedy forwarding with the virtual coordinates guarantees delivery. In
particular, we extract a planar triangulation of the sensor network with nontriangular
faces as holes, by either using the nodes location or using a
landmark‐based scheme without node location. The conformal map is computed with
Ricci flow such that all the non‐triangular faces are mapped to perfect circles.
Thus greedy forwarding will never get stuck at an intermediate node. The
computation of the conformal map and the virtual coordinates is performed at a
preprocessing phase and can be implemented by local gossip‐style computation. The
method applies to both unit disk graph models and quasi‐unit disk graph models.
Simulation results are presented for these scenarios.
This is joint work with Rik Sarkar, Xiaotian Yin, Feng Luo and Xianfeng David Gu.
Bio: Jie Gao is currently an assistant professor at Department of Computer
Science, Stony Brook University. She received Ph.D from Computer Science
department, Stanford University in 2004 and B.S. from the special class for the
gifted young, University of Science and Technology of China in 1999. She works on
algorithms, sensor networks, and computational geometry. She received NSF CAREER
award in 2006 and she is an associate editor of ACM Transaction on Sensor
Networks.Location: Hughes Aircraft Electrical Engineering Center (EEB) - 248

IEEE Academic Spotlight: Riding the Next Wave of Computing with Dr. Pinkston
Mon, Nov 09, 2009 @ 07:00 PM - 08:00 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Student Organizations
Student Activity
Join IEEE and Dr. Pinkston in our Spotlight Series on Hardware and Computer Engineering! Abstract: As device technology continues to scale into the nanometer regime enabling an exponential growth in the number of transistors integrated on a chip, the ability of computer systems to exploit potential processing parallelism hinges on sound interconnection network design. Interconnection networks provide connectivity between multiple computer system components to support communication of growing amounts of data reliably in minimal time, energy, and cost. Advancements in this aspect of computer system architecture and design is critically important for continued progress to be made in multicore computing—the new wave of parallel processing. In this talk, recent trends and developments in this area will be discussed against the backdrop of how computing is pervading our lives.FREE FOOD will be provided!
