...Right out of community college, I would like to move on to a New Jersey Institute of Technology, to further my studies in Computer Science and acquire a Bachelors degree. From there, I will go on with my studies for a master’s degree in the same institution as soon as I can. My long-term goal is to establish a computing institute wherever around the world, especially in Africa. I want to be able to plant a seed that grows to give the generation delight in exploring computers, devices, machines and to be able to manipulate its operations. With a strong passion for computers, I have managed to take computer based class during various vacations to better my skills and build on them. I managed to earn a diploma in Desktop Publishing and Graphic Design, and a General Certificate Course in Information and Communication Technology, and I went to serve as an intern for those who also took part in the course. In high school, I was an officer for the Computer club for my school and helped with my basic computer experience. As I moved to United States, I joined the First Robotics Team in my high school. I want to earn a Doctorate of Philosophy in Computer Science to help others with understanding of advance computer science and its principles. Self motivation is an important character trait and one I deem in a high esteem. I have learnt from everyday situations hearings and experiences that self motivation is the drive that proves success in any area of life. It’s a seed that breeds...

Chaves-González (University of Extremadura, Spain jm@unex.es) Miguel A. Vega-Rodríguez (University of Extremadura, Spain mavega@unex.es) Juan A. Gómez-Pulido (University of Extremadura, Spain jangomez@unex.es) Juan M. Sánchez-Pérez (University of Extremadura, Spain sanperez@unex.es) Abstract: This paper presents a project that provides both, to professors and to students, a tool that is useful for studying, teaching and learning how pipelines work and how they can be scheduled in an easy and widespread way. The project is called PipeSim, and features static and dynamic pipelines with a very attractive, dynamic and intuitive interface. It is well known that pipeline and pipeline-scheduling are very relevant concepts in computer science studies and it is very important that students can learn these in an easy and reliable way. The simulator makes easy both working in depth about pipeline scheduling and working slowly paying attention in the different stages of the scheduling. However, we designed the simulator knowing that principal users would be students with no experience, so both the execution and the presentation of the results have been carefully developed. In addition to this, to check the success of PipeSim, a survey has been made among some students that used...

...Transaction-Oriented Simulation in Ad Hoc Grids Gerald Krafft Harrow School of Computer Science, University of Westminster Watford Rd, Northwick Park, Harrow HA1 3TP, U.K. g.krafft@gmx.net Abstract This paper analyses the requirements of performing parallel transaction-oriented simulations with a special focus on the space-parallel approach and discrete event simulation synchronisation algorithms that are suitable for transaction-oriented simulation and the target environment of Ad Hoc Grids. To demonstrate the findings a Java-based parallel transaction-oriented simulator for the simulation language GPSS/H is implemented on the basis of the most promising Shock Resistant Time Warp synchronisation algorithm and using the Grid framework ProActive. The validation of this parallel simulator shows that the Shock Resistant Time Warp algorithm can successfully reduce the number of rolled back Transaction moves but it also reveals circumstances in which the Shock Resistant Time Warp algorithm can be outperformed by the normal Time Warp algorithm. The conclusion of this paper suggests possible improvements to the Shock Resistant Time Warp algorithm to avoid such problems. 1. Introduction The growing demand of complex Computer Simulations for instance in engineering, military, biology and climate research has also lead to a growing demand in computing power. One possibility to reduce the runtime of large, complex Computer Simulations is to perform such simulations distributed on several CPUs...

...remains a web of complex socio-technical processes. But these processes are not well understood nor readily predictable, as informal practices are widespread and continually adapting. As such, FOSS is amenable to technological advances, socio-technical innovations, and systematic empirical studies that can emerge from research in the Computer Science community and beyond. We seek to articulate both multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary perspectives on how and why FOSS has become such a source of technology-centered global transformation, and what the future may hold. We need to identify key research problems and experimental studies going forward, along with the requisite research infrastructure and shared data repositories needed to support this research. We also need to identify future roles that Computer Science can play in fostering, sustaining, and expanding the ongoing development of FOSS as a realm of technology development and use, as an engine of innovation in other scientific and cultural disciplines, and as a socio-technical movement that has Computer Science at its core. Our objective is to bring together a diverse audience of computer scientists and social...

...works, grid computing and what you get when you put the two together. What is Artificial Intelligence and how does it work Artificial Intellegence is a branch of computer science that atemps to simulate intelligent behavior in computers, that is to say, to get a machine to imitate intelligent human behavior(Merriam-Webster) and with any luck ignore unintelligent human beahviour. AIs have to learn concepts of the things they observer or work with, they then store what they have learned, like any other software, as chunks of data. An AI is usually presented with a goal to achieve they accomplish this by exploiting the relationship between the data they acquired and the goal they are trying to achieve (wiseGEEK). To put it into a simpler concept; AI is broken down into an If, and Then type programing analogy.” If this happens Then do that”, pretty much like Basic Programing. But the If-Thens are attached to something not so simple, complex algorithms that are used to record what all the results of the Ifs and Thens are, so that the data can be accessed by the AI, then when the condition happens again it knows what to do. For a little better explanation of AI algorithms look at Google's cloud-based machine learning tools, they use learning algorithms to analyze data. A Google algorithm is added to the logic of a computer or “machine” the results are stored in a dataset, which in turn linked to a larger, smarter dataset. The algorithms learn by recording historical click data, social...

...“Future where money is only electronic” Son Chunsuparerk Part A : Technological Infrastructure The following key enablers make the future possible Computing form factor: As all financial activities, including day-to-day merchandise will become electronic, the computer form factor will evolve in the way that allows people to carry it anywhere and everywhere. Computers will be smaller, faster, and embedded into human body to facilitate real time communication for financial activities. From history, computer forms have evolved from time to time. From a poor performance computer that filled the entire room to a bulky computer that sat on the entire table, to now being small compact laptop, tablet, and mobile that fit in a tiny pocket. In today’s environment, credit card is a great example how money went partially electronically. The drawback of using a credit card is that of the credit card receiver (eg. credit card is unusable if there is no device to accept). The future will need computers to miniaturize into a small fingertip size, which enables money to seamlessly transfer from one party to another. Credit card receivers will be small enough to fit into a wallet, just like a credit card, and have the functionalities to control over all financial needs just like using cash/check today. Power: In order to keep mobility and minimal form factor, one needs to consider its on power. In the future, power consumption on certain devices will be low, while power...

...2011 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Green Computing and Communications The Survey and Future Evolution of Green Computing Qilin Li Production and Technology Department Sichuan Electric Power Science and Research Institute Chengdu, Sichuan, P.R.China li_qi_lin@163.com Mingtian Zhou School of Computer Science and Technologies University of Electronic Science and Technology Chengdu, Sichuan, P.R.China mtzhou@uestc.edu.cn Although green computing is becoming increasingly important in IT systems, it presents challenging problems to system designers. Designers need to take into account energy consumption during the phase of system design and to find solutions to reduce it. Green computing involves all aspects of IT systems, such as chips, system architectures, compilers, operating systems, communication networks and application services, and so on[1]. Further, these aspects are interdependent and complicated. As a result, building lowcost and low-power-consumption systems is a challenging and important activity. Such a new computing paradigm introduces new technical challenges to system designers. In light of today’s requirements for green computing, we present latest research efforts that attempt to deal with them and indicate still open issues. We thus discuss the connotation of green computing and sketch our view on the next generation of IT systems for green computing. We further identify key issues relevant to green computing and evaluate different approaches to...

...Computer science From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Computer science or computing science (abbreviated CS) is the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation and of practical techniques for their implementation and application in computer systems.[1][2] Computer scientists invent algorithmic processes that create, describe, and transform information and formulate suitable abstractions to model complex systems. Computer science has many sub-fields; some, such as computational complexity theory, study the fundamental properties of computational problems, while others, such as computer graphics, emphasize the computation of specific results. Still others focus on the challenges in implementing computations. For example, programming language theory studies approaches to describe computations, while computer programming applies specific programming languages to solve specific computational problems, and human-computer interaction focuses on the challenges in making computers and computations useful, usable, and universally accessible to humans. The general public sometimes confuses computer science with careers that deal with computers (such as information technology), or think that it relates to their own experience of computers, which typically involves activities such as gaming, web-browsing, and word-processing. However, the focus of computer science is more on understanding the properties of the programs used to implement...

...The Fluidity of Computer Science. Gender Norms & Racial Bias in the Study of the Modern "Computer Science" Computer science or computing science designates the scientific and mathematical approach in computing. A computer scientist is a scientist who specialises in the theory of computation and the design of computers. Its subfields can be divided into practical techniques for its implementation and application in computer systems and purely theoretical areas. Some, such as computational complexity theory, which studies fundamental properties of computational problems, are highly abstract, while others, such as computer graphics, emphasize real-world applications. Still others focus on the challenges in implementing computations. For example, programming language theory studies approaches to description of computations, while the study of computer programming itself investigates various aspects of the use of programming languages and complex systems, and human-computer interaction focuses on the challenges in making computers and computations useful, usable, and universally accessible to humans. Computer science deals with the theoretical foundations of information, computation, and with practical techniques for their implementation and application. History The earliest foundations of what would become computer science predate the invention of the modern digital computer. Machines for calculating fixed numerical tasks such as the abacus have existed since antiquity...
