This is the last week of the semester. We had two meetings this week - on Tuesday and on Friday.
On Tuesday Rob Escriva '10 (and a current graduate student at Cornell University) talked about HyperDex http://hyperdex.org/ and his Github repsotiry is in https://github.com/rescrv/HyperDex Hyperdex is a nosql key value store which supports atomic transactions, consistency, atomicity and durability. Rob gave a lucid presentation and topped with a demo. Rob also demonstrated the high performance of HyperDex on sample data sets and queries. Rob's talk was well attended and students asked a number of pertinent questions.
On Friday we had student presentations giving their second rounds of talks.
1) Jordan Yamada, Bharath Santhosh - Alfred - http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/alfred/

Jordan Bharath and Kyle talked about the current status of Alfred and their progress on it. One of the group members will be working during Summer to complete.
Andrew, Vera and Colin talked about their progress and problems in YAExS. One of the difficulties was with the library they used and the other was getting the relevant data.
Alex and Ian talked about Flowur. They had some minor problem with Layout. Alex is planning to work during summer to release a version. Ian will be working with RCOS on ThreeD layout.
Joshua and Steven talked about resistance color scanner. They spent time in learning development tools for Andoid. They also developed a prototype Python program to get the resistance color scanner working. They learnt about openCV (thanks to Bharath) and they plan to develop Android application during summer.

Austin, Kevin Daniel (and) Tianyi talked about RateMyStream project. Since they divided their project they resulted both useful ad hurt their progress. Resolving an authentication bug took some time. They learned a lot in doing this project.
We had a fantastic semester. I might have learned more than what students might have learned.
It was a great semester and a learning expereince.
