Focused on parallel and distributed computingThu, May 02, 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 COURSE #14
Thu, May 02, 2013 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Charalampos Chelmis, PhD Candidate, Computer Science, USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Talk Title: Computational Models of Technology Adoption at the Workplace
Series: EE598 Seminar Course
Abstract: Despite numerous studies in Online Social Networks, little is known about network dynamics and information diffusion processes at the workplace, where professional relationships are formed not because of similarity but instead due to a formal, imposed structure. In an enterprise, understanding how information flows within and between organizational levels and business units is of great importance. In this talk, we emphasize the impact of organizational hierarchy on adoption of new technologies in the enterprise. We present two intuitive, realistic agent-based computational models that capture the dynamics of adoption at both microscopic and macroscopic levels in a real-world dataset we collected from a multinational Fortune 500 company.
Biography: Charalampos Chelmis is a PhD candidate in Computer Science working with Prof. Viktor K. Prasanna in the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles. His research focuses on modeling complex networks, their properties, hidden structures and dimensional interdependencies, mining large-scale, real-world social networks, and designing efficient, scalable algorithms by combining Graph Theory and Semantic Web Technologies, Big Data Analytics and Machine Learning, sociometric features and measures. His research has been published at top venues, including SocialCom, ASONAM, TOIS and SNAM. He received his Master of Science in Computer Science from the University of Southern California in 2010 and his Bachelor in Computer Engineering & Informatics from the University of Patras, Greece in 2007.
