  23. Department of Computer Science and Engineering Oliver Reeve

  24. Degrees • Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) offers four degree programs: • the B.S. degree in computer science • the B.A. degree in computer science • the B.S. degree in computer engineering • the B.S. degree in computer science with a specialization in bioinformatics • Difference between B.A. and B.S.: • B.A. stands for “Bachelor of Arts” • B.S. stands for “Bachelor of Science”

  25. Background • The CSE department is part of the Jacobs School of Engineering The Computer Science and Engineering Building 

  26. Facilities • more than 300 high-performance UNIX/Linux and Windows-based workstations • a large number of laptop systems • several hundred wireless personal digital assistants •  two network-attached terabyte disk arrays • four separate high-performance compute clusters • Good use of San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC)

  27. Department of Computer Science and Engineering’s Research

  28. Research Themes • Algorithms and Complexity • Artificial Intelligence • Bioinformatics • Computer Architecture and Compilers • Computer Graphics and Computer Vision • Databases and Information Management • Embedded Systems & Software • High-Performance Computing • Meaning and Computation • Programming Systems • Security and Cryptography • Software Engineering • Systems and Networking • Ubiquitous Computing • VLSI/CAD (Computer-Aided Design)

  29. Research Project (Smart Vivarium) • Smart Vivarium Project • Physiologic and Environmental Monitoring of Rodents • Automatically analyze the behavior of mice from video surveillance • Estimate the position of each mouse in each frame of video. • Label the instantaneous behaviors of each mouse • Data are catalogued and analyzed to determine the health of each mouse.

  30. Research Project (Smart Vivarium) Basic Posture Recognition: 1. Sit 2. Walk 3. Stretch

  31. Research Project (Smart Vivarium) Count the footstep of mice

  32. Research Project (Sleep Server)

  33. Research Project (Sleep Server) • PCs maintain network presence and availability in sleep mode • Reduce energy consumption • Creates lightweight virtual images of sleeping PCs, and these pared down images maintain connectivity and respond to applications • Each virtual PC image enables remote access to the sleeping PC it represents • Sleep Server seamlessly wakes up the physical PC - owner tries to connect remotely into the machine from home - the user needs to remotely access stored files and media.  • Support more PCs (250PCs with one SS -> 500 PCS with two SS) • Highly Scalable Architecture
