• Talk on computer imaging and real time image processing, by Prof. Mohd Zaid Abdullah, Dean of the School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Universiti Sains Malaysia.
  Thursday, Feb. 4, 2010, 13:30, TC.
  Since the original discovery of x-rays by German physicist Willhem Conrad Röntgen in 1896, computer imaging has proven itself as versatile technique for non-destructive testing of material of prime importance in medical and general industries. Today CT has become a standard technique for medical imaging with modern state-of-the art machine can produce images with resolution reaching sub-micrometer scale, and at a speed of les than 1 second per frame. Even though research in this area is still progressing, however, efforts are now more focused in extending the range of clinical applications of CT and in lowering the cost of CT examination.
  The greatest strength of CT lies in its ability to resolve smaller objects with dimension comparable to its wavelength. However the major drawback is due to the fact this system utilises radioactive sources which produce ionising radiation. Consequently, this limits the use of CT for applications outside medical fraternity except for few special cases only. For this reason many developments have taken place as early as in 1980’s, focussing towards developing alternative computer imaging systems which are relatively safe and produce no harmful effects. As a result numbers of imaging modalities employing monochromatic sources like electrical currents and electromagnetic radiation have been developed and tested in the laboratories. Although these technologies are safe combined with the fact that they are relatively cheap to produce, however,  their spatial resolutions have a fundamental limit set by the wavelength of the signal used. Typically the resolutions produced by this system are few tens of centimeters at 2 MHz compared to less than 1 mm in conventional CT. At first sight it might be seen the resolution could be improved by increasing the frequency, but unfortunately electrical signals are attenuated with increasing frequency due to skin effect. Resultantly the depth of penetration decreases as the frequency increases. Therefore, successful deployments of non-ionising based imaging systems are limited to applications in which the targets are located closed to the surface. For this reason there was very little development surrounding the use of electrical signals for computer imaging, and no significantly new method has been published in last 10 years.  Only improving the existing techniques and developing new applications have been reported. Recent technological advances in microwave communication, array processor and image processing software are set to reverse this trend. The new milestone in computer imaging actually arrived in late 2001’s when ultrawide wide band (UWB) radio officially came into existence, inviting major advances in  wireless communication, networking, radar and positioning systems. Unlike monochromatic signals, UWB features an ultra-short low-power waveform occupying new FCC bandwidth of 3.6-10.1 GHz. As information resembling pulses with ultra-short duration  have UWB spectral occupancy, UWB system comes with two unique advantages. First UWB  enhances capability to penetrate through obstacles with pronounced sensitivity to scattering. Second,  UWB enables super-resolution imaging reaching the scale at the centimeter level. With these attractive features, interest in UWB devices for imaging applications has increased drastically in the last five years. To-date, various image processing techniques and algorithms for reconstruction  have been proposed and investigated. The method based on the finite difference time domain is one of the recently emerging techniques for reconstructing UWB images. Research indicated that the FDTD based solver is capable of resolving objects smaller to one third than the wavelength, and resolution reaching sub-millimeter in range. Recent progress shows that the spatial resolution of less than 0.3 % is easily achievable with high as well as low contrast targets.  It is expected that this figure can further be improved with the increasing sophistication in the image capturing hardware and image reconstruction software. This opens the possibility in applying this technique for routine medical imaging as well as engineering investigations. At present, there is obviously vigorous development taking place in this field. However, to fully exploit the benefits of UWB technology, enhanced interdisciplinary links need to be established across the signal processing and electromagnetic computing communities. Today research in signal processing for UWB is still at its infancy, offering limited resources in handling the challenges facing UWB applications. On the other hand digital image processing techniques have matured for conventional sensors, and large body of imaging products have been produced from recent advances in electronic instrumentation. At the same time DSP based design also enjoy process portability, low sensitivity to component variability as well as benefits from Moore’s law. The talk focusses on computer imaging research and real-time image processsing which are actively pursued at Universiti Sains Malaysia.
• What I love about Ruby, by Keith Bennett, software developer, Bennett Business Solutions, Inc., Reston, USA.
  Friday, Jan. 19, 2010, 15:00, CSIM.
  The talk is just an introduction to the features of the language I like the best. It will not cover Ruby on Rails (the most popular web framework in Ruby), but just the Ruby language itself, which, by the way, is awesome.Live coding is expected during the session so you can consider intalling Ruby on your machine before the lecture.
• An ongoing project for digitizing traditional culture, by Dr. Cary Laxer, head of the Computer Science Department, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.
  Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2010, 14:30, CSIM #209.
  The Surin Folk Festival brings together many people from various cultures. Festival organizers would like to digitally preserve the festival, so that future generations of people can observe the many traditions that are displayed at the festival, as well as to have interested people research the sustainable practices that have survived for thousands of years in these cultures. A multi-institutional, multi-disciplinary, international team of faculty and students will work on this project; currently the United States, New Zealand, and Thailand are represented. The project provides opportunities for students to learn about new cultures, and to work with other students from around the world.
  This project is the first of hopefully many designed to encourage university students from around the world to apply their IT expertise towards problems in sustainable development. If you are interested in this project, or have ideas where future projects could focus, please join us this afternoon at 14h30. Please pass this invitation on to others who might also be interested in this type of project.

  Currently a number of institutions across the countries are working to evolve better models to provide collaborative technology services for scholarship by creating shared cyberspace thro expert collaboration, but this is a challenge for the institutions for a number of reasons. In the last few years, the landscape of digital technology applications projects for the various disciplines in humanities, social sciences, and sciences appears induced by many initiatives. For the creation of research clusters, the research community has thousands of databases, websites, local computing clusters, and web-based tools around individual themes, interests and projects. In most cases, these tools and resources are and were created to meet the specific needs of a particular community. In many cases, the funding and support for these critical initiatives is fragile and temporary, and directed in piecemeal fashion. There is a need to provide concerted efforts in building federated digital technologies that will enable the formation of network of digital technologies.

• Journal of Systems and Software, Special Issue on Dynamic Analysis and Testing of Embedded Software, call for papers.
  Deadline for submission: Apr. 1, 2010.
  Dynamic analysis and testing techniques of embedded software use the information collected from executions to assure or evaluate software artifacts, or to extract, infer, measure, or verify properties of these artifacts. At the same time, the stringent resource constraints imposed by the hardware environment should also be addressed. Although existing techniques for embedded software have been investigated for decades, as new low-power devices emerge (such as motes of wireless sensor networks, specialized devices for pervasive computing, or wearable devices), many of them have serious limitations to be directly applied to assure software running on these devices. To detect failures
  from such software effectively and efficiently, existing techniques should be re-examined or new techniques should be developed. This special issue solicits novel research results in dynamic analysis and testing for embedded software that come with theoretical and/or extensive empirical validation of the claimed contributions.
• IADIS international conference Mobile Learning 2010, Mar. 18 – 20, 2010, Porto, Portugal.
  Since its inauguration in 2005, the IADIS Mobile Learning conference series has provided a forum to present, discuss and promote international mobile learning research.
  Past conference themes have focused on pedagogical approaches most suited for mobile learning such as collaborative, contextual, and constructivist which support data collection, context & location awareness and distributed activities. In 2007 the conference aimed to harness an international perspective on the ‘big issues’ in mobile learning by discussing topics such as the conflict between personal informal learning and traditional classroom education, the evaluation of mobile learning and appropriate methods for this setting, the design of mobile learning activities and the integration of mobile devices in the broader educational scenarios, among others. In 2008, our concern was to explore various dimensions of the learners’ mobility for example, physical, conceptual and social, to discern how these in conjunction with mobile and fix technologies may support learning. Last year, the conference debated the increasing phenomenon of user generated content, in particular mobile media.
• IADIS international conference e-Society 2010, Mar. 18 – 20, 2010, Porto, Portugal.
