In this panel session, the relationship between computer science programs and information technology programs at universities that house both will be explored. People outside the computing disciplines often find the distinction between these programs confusing. The panelists, who have experience with both types of program, will discuss strategies for differentiating the programs in the eyes of administrators, for advising students into the correct program, and for maintaining focus and excellence in both computer science and information technology programs.
Recently, the problems of evaluating performances of switches and routers have been formulated as online problems, and a great amount of results have been presented. In this paper, we focus on managing outgoing packet...

Human engagement is at the heart of every interactive technology. However, a concrete framework for synergizing the capabilities of humans and technologies to allow fully engaging interactions to happen is yet to be developed. We posit that such a framework should be grounded in a deeper understanding of human nature (e.g., mind-body relations), which in the field of HCI has primarily been built upon the Western philosophies. There are scattered, underexplored Eastern philosophies (e.g., Yijing, Zen) that may provide new lens and tools to analyze how humans interact with resources in their environments, including technological artefacts. Discussions of leveraging and possibly integrating Eastern and Western insights for human engagement studies will be an exciting and a radical forum for the HCI community.

Biomedical events can reveal crucial processes in biomedical research. As an important step in biomedical event extraction, biomedical event trigger detection has become a research hotspot. Traditional machine learning methods, which aim to manually design powerful features fed to the classifiers, greatly depend on the understanding of the specific task. In this paper, we propose an approach to automatically learn good features from raw input without manual intervention. The approach is based on dependency-based word embedding and first learns dependency-based word embedding from all available PubMed abstracts. The word embedding contains rich functional and semantic information. Then neural network architecture is used to learn better feature representation based on raw dependency-based word embedding. Meanwhile, we dynamically adjust the embedding while training for adapting to the trigger classification task. Finally, softmax classifier labels the examples by specific trigger class using the features learned by the model. The experimental results show that our approach achieves a micro F1 score of 78.27% and a macro F1 score of 76.94% in significant trigger classes, and performs better than baseline methods. In addition, we can achieve the semantic distributed representation of every trigger word.

Process arrival times at MPI collective operations differ significantly. Addressing this fact with special handling for popular collective communication algorithms can yield performance improvements. The recursive doubling algorithm is one of the most efficient techniques for implementing collectives in MPI, especially for short messages and when the number of participating processes is a power of two. In the recursive doubling algorithm, all the processes must complete a given step before the algorithm continues to the next step. In this paper, we present a recursive doubling algorithm that makes use of available data and removes the requirement for each process to arrive at each step before proceeding. Our approach makes use of the multicast feature of the underlying network and progress tagging of messages, describing the currently available partial results. Our approach could be implemented in any parallel execution environment that supports multicasting. Our prototype implementation is based upon a network interface card with an FPGA, the Net FPGA. The Net FPGA provides hardware level programmability to offload processing, precise and controlled timing for accounting for packet and algorithm behavior, allowing classification of skew scenarios. Our algorithm provides up to 10% saving in synchronization delay in the presence of skew and up to 37% saving in number of messages generated, and up to 32% saving in reduction operations performed in MPI Allreduce.

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has recognized Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) as a priority condition for healthcare services. However, diagnosis rates of TBI in the VA TBI screening tool (VATBIST) vary quite widely across the Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities. Factors that make this diagnostic decision difficult include the reliance on patient self-report, the symptom overlap of mild TBI with other conditions (especially behavioral health and pain), and the need for nuanced diagnostic understanding by the clinician. With the objective of standardizing the TBI screening process, a Virtual Standardized Patient (VSP) portraying an OEF (Operation Enduring Freedom) veteran with mild TBI was proposed as a training tool. This paper presents the design and development of the VSP and describes the results from the preliminary study conducted to validate the usability of a VSP for training within this context.
