DIMACS/CCICADA Interdisciplinary Seminar Series, Fall 2012
DIMACS/CCICADA Interdisciplinary Seminar Series, Fall 2012
Dates: Held approximately every other Monday, with additional talks scheduled at other times
Time: 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Location: DIMACS, CoRE Bldg. Room 431, Rutgers Busch Campus, Piscataway, NJ
Host: James Abello, abello@dimacs.rutgers.edu and Fred Roberts, froberts@dimacs.rutgers.edu
Series Description
A forum for presentation and discussion of mathematical, computational, and statistical questions of interest to the DIMACS/CCICADA community and arising from research challenges in a variety of disciplines. We expect the series to be of interest to computer scientists, applied mathematicians, operations researchers, and statisticians, as well as researchers and practitioners in engineering, bioinformatics, epidemiology, political science, sociology, and the behavioral sciences.
Themes include but are not limited to:
- mathematical sciences models for applications of global or national importance such as homeland security, climate change, healthcare, and critical infrastructure.
- machine learning and its applications
- social network analysis
- privacy and security
- computer, communication and sensor networks
- algorithmic analysis and visualization of large-scale, unstructured, heterogeneous and/or streaming data
- applications of discrete mathematics/theoretical computer science to the social and behavioral sciences
- risk modeling and assessment
- information processing in biology
- mathematical and computational epidemiology
Talks will be given by members of the DIMACS/CCICADA community and by outside speakers.
Recommendations for speakers (and offers to speak) should be
directed to James Abello (abello@dimacs.rutgers.edu) or Fred Roberts (froberts@dimacs.rutgers.edu).
