[January 26th, 2020] One item that comes up every once in a while is our old WeHab project which brought to bear low-cost peripherals for the purpose of helping out with stroke rehabilitation / balance impairment. For those who are so inclined, you are welcome to download the executables of the code along with instructions via Google Drive. Note that the executables come as is and may be a bit dated.
[January 23rd, 2020] Our journal paper entitled “A game-theoretic analysis on the economic viability of mobile content pre-staging” is now live via the Wireless Networks journal. The paper focuses on mobile content pre-staging with an eye towards whether or not said pre-staging is solely beneficial to the provider or pre-staging gains are shared with the end-user. This is related to our on-going work NSF grant focusing on PASS (Provider Accessible Storage Subsystem) as this was a pre-cursor paper to that effort that we published at the INFOCOM Workshop on Smart Data Pricing back in 2016. This particular paper offers some nice new insights and an expanded analysis relative to the shorter workshop paper. Kudos to Prof. Liao (my former student, now a tenured professor at Central Michigan) and Prof. Li for their fantastic work on this effort.
[January 16th, 2020] Very good news for my student Gonzalo Martinez and post-doc Steve Mattingly who had their papers accepted for WristSense 2020.
Both of these efforts are drawn from our data for Tesserae with one presented by Gonzalo and the other presented by Steve at the WristSense workshop at IEEE PerCom this year. Congrats again to Gonzalo and Steve on a job well done in driving these papers!
[January 13th, 2020] The publication pages should be receiving some much deserved attention over the next few weeks. While I had intended to do some nice categorization, in the interest of timeliness, I am switching over to a much simpler list-based format. Perhaps if I can find some time and do some cleverness with a consolidated BibTeX file, there might some updates in the summer but for now, everything should finally get posted in the next week or two.
[January 10th, 2020] Alas, all good things must come to an end and my sabbatical is officially wrapped up as of this Friday with the start of the spring semester this coming week. This spring, I will be teaching the second iteration of my course on Advanced Wireless Networks and will officially be back on campus full-time at my office in 211B Cushing Hall.
[November 11th, 2019] Brief update as I am well over halfway through my sabbatical this fall. Some interesting new projects in the hopper that we will highlight the projects bake a bit more but I can give a bit of a preview of some of the efforts.
[May 16, 2019] Congrats to Dr. Lixing Song on leading the first patent coming out of our lab. Patent 15/967,532 entitled “Systems and Methods for Rapidly Estimating Available Bandwidth on a WiFi Link,” was awarded on May 16, 2019.
[May 14, 2019] We had two papers appear at CHI in the Case Studies track. One paper was a general overview of the Tesserae study and the other was an overview of our publicly accessible social media corpus related to Tesserae (all participants opted in who agreed to share data). Both papers are accessible via the CHI website.
[March 26, 2019] Kudos to the team for having an outstanding site visit for PAWR. While it is still to be determined with respect to us being chosen as a site, the team put together some really top notch work. The overview video and general site for PCAD (PAWR in Collaborative and Autonomous Drones) can be found at: https://sites.google.com/nd.edu/pcad
[March 19, 2019] Congratulations to Dr. Rachael Purta from our group on passing her Ph. D defense this afternoon!
