Lecture on “Social networking and computer network design” 9.5. at 16:15 in A106
The recent development in computer network has enabled a rich set of Internet services and applications such email, online social networks (OSNs), and microblogging systems that are now a very important part of our daily lives. Many computer networks have dual properties. They are physical networks and at the same time human networks. It is tremendously important to exploit this social networking feature to design more efficient and more reliable communication systems. In this talk, I will illustrate, with several examples, how social networks can be integrated into system design. I will start by introducing several human mobility and social … Read more
Guest Lecture: Dr. Vladimir Mazarov, Fri 27th of April at 1:00 p.m, room A106
NETWORKING GAMES, STRONG NASH EQUILIBRIUM AND OPTIMAL ROUTING on Friday, April 27th, at 1:00 p.m. in room A106, Computer Science Building, Aalto University School of Science. Vladimir Mazalov, Prof., Ph.D., Dr. Sci. Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences Many real problems in modern networks and supercomputing such as resource distribution, scheduling and routing, spam fighting, etc. can be solved by game-theoretic methods. The players here can be the users, the jobs, the packages, etc. Networking games can be divided for two classes in respect of the traffic being divided (Wardrope games) or not (KP models) for units. … Read more

Dissertation: Development of a new visualisation tool for concurrent programs, 16th of March 2012, Lic. Sc. Jan Lönnberg
Lic. Sc. (Tech.) Jan Lönnberg will defend his dissertation “Understanding and Debugging Concurrent Programs through Visualisation” on March 16th, 2012 at 12 o’ clock noon in the lecture hall T2 (address: Konemiehentie 2, Espoo). The thesis describes the development of a new visualisation tool for concurrent programs. The purpose of the tool is to help students in particular to understand what happens in a concurrent program and fix defects in the program. The tool is based on a study of how students understand concurrent programming and the defects in their concurrent programs.
Dissertation in Agile Product Management, 10th of February 2012, Lic. Sc. Jarno Vähäniitty
Lic. Sc. (Tech.) Jarno Vähäniitty will defend his dissertation “Towards Agile Product and Portfolio Management” in a public examination on Friday 10th of February at 12 o’ clock noon in lecture hall TU1 at the TUAS building, Otaniementie 17, Espoo. The opponents are Prof. Björn Regnell, Lund University, Sweden and Postdoctoral researcher Petri Kettunen, Helsinki University, Finland. The dissertation presents a model that presents how product and portfolio management can be linked with agile software development (for example, Scrum). As proof-of-concept, the model has been implemented in Agilefant (www.agilefant.org), an open source tool for backlog management that has during the … Read more
Pawel Gawrychowski from Max Planck Institute Gives a Seminar Talk about “Pattern Matching in LZW-Compressed Texts” on Thu 26th Jan
The talk will be held on 26th Jan at 15:15-16:00 in TUAS-building, hall 1023-1024, Otaniementie 17, Espoo. Abstract Pattern matching is a basic text-processing problem and its complexity seems well understood when we are given an explicit representation of the input. With the recent explosion in the amount of digital data we need to process, however, we should aim to develop solutions that work directly with compressed input. For example, we should try to come up with pattern-matching algorithms that work with compressed representations of both the pattern and the text. I will present some ideas behind a linear-time solution of this … Read more
Dissertation in Energy Consumption of Mobile Devices, 20th of December 2011, M.Sc. Yu Xiao
M.Sc. Yu Xiao will defend her dissertation “Modeling and managing energy consumption of mobile devices” in a public examination on Tuesday 20th of December at 12 o’ clock noon in lecture hall T2 at the CS building, Konemiehenti 2, Espoo. The opponent is Prof. Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom. Dissertation is supervised by Prof. Antti Ylä-Jääski, Aalto University, Department of Computer Science and Engineering. Dissertation investigates the energy consumption of mobile devices, and gives models that can precisely describe the energy consumption and its influential factors, such as system performance, network environment and application design. In addition, this … Read more

Dissertation in Learning Technology, 9th of December 2011, Lis.Sc. (Tech.) Petri Ihantola
Lic. Sc. (Tech.) Petri Ihantola will defend his dissertation “Automated Assessment of Programming Assignments: Visual Feedback, Assignment Mobility, and Assessment of Students’ Testing Skills” on Friday December 9th, 2011 at 12 o’clock noon in Hall T2 at the Computer Science building, Konemiehentie 2, Espoo. The thesis explores technical aspects of automated assessment of programming assignments with the focus on visual feedback, use of web-browsers to produce feedback, and use of mutation analysis to give feedback from unit tests written by students. Uploading students’ code to a server for testing is not the only way to give automated feedback. Most modern … Read more
