Focused on parallel and distributed computingThu, Jan 24, 2013 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: TBA, TBA
Talk Title: TBA
Series: EE598 Seminar Course
Abstract: Weekly seminars given by researchers in academia and industry including senior doctoral students in EE, CS and ISI covering current research related to parallel and distributed computation including parallel algorithms, high performance computing, scientific computation, application specific architectures, multi-core and many-core architectures and algorithms, application acceleration, reconfigurable computing systems, data intensive systems, Big Data and cloud computing.
Biography: Prerequisite: Students are expected to be familiar with basic concepts at the level of graduate level courses in Computer Engineering and Computer Science in some of these topic areas above. Ph.D. students in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering and Computer Science can automatically enroll. M.S. students can enroll only with permission of the instructor. To request permission send a brief mail to the instructor in text format with the subject field ââ¬ÅEE 598ââ¬Â. The body of the mail (in text format) should include name, degree objective, courses taken at USC and grades obtained, prior educational background, and relevant research background, if any.
Requirements for CR:
1. Attending at least 10 seminars during the semester
There will be a sign-in sheet and a sign-out sheet at every seminar. All students must sign-in (before 2:00pm) and sign-out (after 3:00pm). The sign-in sheet will not be available after 2:00pm, and the sign-out sheet will not be available before 3:00pm.
2. Submitting a written report for at least 5 seminars
The written report for each seminar must be 1-page single line spaced format with font size of 12 (Times) or 11 (Arial) without any figures, tables, or graphs. The report must be submitted no later than 1 week after the corresponding seminar, and must be handed only to the instructor either on the seminar times or during office hours. Late reports will not be considered.
The report must summarize studentââ¬â¢s own understanding of the seminar, and should contain the following:
- Your name and submission date [1 line]
- Title of the seminar, name of the speaker, and seminar date [1 line]
- Background of the work (e.g., applications, prior research, etc.) [1 paragraph]
- Highlights of the approaches presented in the seminar [1-2 paragraphs]
- Main results presented in the seminar [1-2 paragraphs]
- Conclusion (your own conclusion and not what was given by the speaker) [1 paragraph]
Reviewing papers related to the topic of the seminar, and incorporating relevant findings in the
reports (e.g., in the conclusion section) is encouraged. In such cases, make sure to clearly indicate
the reference(s) used to derive these conclusions.

EE 598: ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING RESEARCH SEMINAR 2
Thu, Jan 24, 2013 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Vikram Sorathia, Postdoctoral Research Associate, Electrical Engineering Systems, USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Talk Title: Big Data Integration and Analysis: Challenges and Opportunities
Series: EE598 Seminar Course
Abstract: Big data is popularly characterized using 3Vs: variety, volume, and velocity- indicating the heterogeneity of involved datasets, scales at which data is generated, and urgency in analysis. Prevailing definitions of big data also highlight the inability of current technologies in addressing these three requirements, thereby opening up new research challenges and opportunities for research community. This seminar will address complex interdependence issues currently faced by the big data community, particularly focusing on data integration and processing requirements related to textual, spatial, temporal, relational, multi-media, and graph data models that require novel storage, analysis and computation platforms.
Biography: Vikram Sorathia is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Electrical Engineering Systems department in Viterbi School of Engineering of University of Southern California, Los Angeles. He is managing Integrated Optimization (IO) project at the Center for Interactive Smart Oilfield Technologies (CiSoft). His research interests are in the areas of big data, complex event processing, knowledge management, services science and software architecture frameworks. Before joining USC, he was a postdoctoral researcher at University of Twente in the Netherlands. He received his PhD degree from the Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology (DA-IICT), India in 2009.
