Week 12 (11/18/11) Fall 2011 Semester
Fall semester is slowly winding down. We had four talks by students and a gust talk by Andrew Parsons (http://twitter.com/MrAndyPuppy • http://blogs.msdn.com/andrewparsons from Microsft.
Student presenters were:
1) Alex Gaynor on NumPy for PyPy http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/numpy-for-pypy/
2) Asher Glick and Beth Towns on Briefcase
http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/briefcase/
3) Jerry Schneider on BlueMesh http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/bluemesh/
4) Josh Komoroske on tcp multiplexing https://github.com/joshdk/muxd
and our guest speaker Andrew Parsons talked about Microasoft and Its open source efforts
Alex has been steadily working on getting NumPy working - He has to modify his design to take care of type issues. Their current solution seems to compile and execute very fast. He also talked about a related project of f2py.
Asher and Beth talked about Briefcase. Beth has problems with the server and hence backend work is being stalled. asher has been coding away in Javascript to get to the front end. He had a skeleton working - still needs a lot of functions to be implemented. They have done a very good job so far.
Jerry has been working on getting all the thread issues resolved. He got to the point where there are no more crashes. Jerry plans to get an application with his blue mesh running before the end of the semester. Again Jerry showed his tenacity to overcome his obstacles. He has finished two of the four tasks he has set.
Josh gave a fascinating about tcp multiplexing. This is especially useful when some ports are blocked. Josh showed a number of interesting demos of his software. An excellent job by Josh (even though he has not officially in the payroll of rcos this semester)
Andrew enlightened us about the open source software efforts at Microfot. Andrew aslo pointed the one of the core kenrel developers (for liunx kernel) is a microsoft employee. Andrew also talked about other competitions that Microsoft sponosres.
Through raffles, Andrew gave away many prizes from Microsoft.
As usual students asked very many interesting questions and suggestions to all the speakers. An excellent particpation and their questions amde me realize some of the finer details which I did not pay attention to.
An excellent week where I gained a lot of new ideas, broadened my understanding and made me appreciate things that I have not seen before.

Week 11 (11/11/11) Fall 2011 Semester
Week 11 (11/11/11) Fall 2011 Semester
The fall color season is almost over. With so many activities going on, we just had two talks. But these two talks were well presented.
The speakers are:
a) Zach Fry and Bobby Zheng on Crowdsourcing for Geointelligence
http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/crowdsourcing-for-geointelligence/
b) Mike Heise Adaptive Math Game Library
http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/adaptive-game-math-library/
Zach and Bobby are working on crowd sourcing str for 2500ategy to mark images in an image map.
They have created amazon turk. They have 225 images, and each image has max 20 pins, and each image will be analyzed 20 times. Thats 4500 * 20 or 90000 individual data points. This will be a set to work on. They have completed partial analysis -they have data from 2500 people. The technology they use is the amazon cloud services, EC2, server, SQL. Zach and Bobby will hope to complete their data-mining tasks before the end of Fall semester.
Their slides can be seen here

Next Mike talked about his project on adaptive math game library. Mike has progressed in many fronts -mainly in ARM support. Mike has also written a number of test program for his libraries. Mike asked many interesting, thought proving and entertaining questions to audience. Clearly a few of RCOS students knew most of the answers.
There were many questions and suggestions from the audience.
As usual, I learned a lot.

Week 10 (11/4/11) Fall Semester 2011
Week 10 (11/4/11) Fall Semester 2011
Fall season is in full swing - the clock is set back to the standard time from daylight savings time. RCOS is also going full blast. With this week, every one has given their first talks (they are more like update talks - the students having done good amount of work) and a couple have given their second talks too. All in all, projects have been progressing well - on the other hand, I wish they could push themselves a bit harder and accomplish more. In a sub reddit at rpi, two rcos projects ( rpidirectory and yet another course scheduler were posted and got a very useful feedback.
This week we had four speakers.
1)Brendon Justin, Austin Wagner, Alex Shulgach, Umesh Jonnalagadda
on Shuttle Tracker http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/mobile-shuttle-tracker/
2) Ben Shippee on BitProspector http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/bitprospector/
3) Timothy Chambers on Semantic ImageBoard
http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/semantic-imageboard/
4) Michael O'Keefe on Interminer http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/interminer/
Brendon, Alex and Austin (and Umesh) have been progressing. They have a mock up of their website and and improving their ETA (current one has approximate error of 5 minutes)- Their IPhone and Android Apps have also been upgraded. There were a few suggestions and comments for improving. Their talk slides may be seen here.
Next Ben has talked on Bitrospector. Ben had a minor hardware setback with his server. Ben has recovered well. Ben has been progressing well. Ben has been working on the back end. Ben plans to provide some graphical user interface to make his system more functional. There were questions about the future of BitProspector. Ben said that his system is applicable to other systems as well.
Timothy (first time RCOS student) gave an attention gathering on Semantic ImageBoard.
Timothy has implemented part of his system. He is using cakePHP which makes sql query much simpler. The main feature of his system is simple to use, with crowd tagging and hierarchical tagging to make his system easier and fun to use. His talk generated a lot of questions and suggestions.
Michael talked on his open source project on Interminer. He has implemented Pearson correlation coefficient for similarity testing in genes. For more information about the Pearson correlation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearson_product-moment_correlation_coefficient
All talks were interesting and I learned something new as usual. One more Friday evening is well spent in the company of wonderful, eager and brainy students.
