AAU Summerschool 2015: Mobile Phone Programming

This summer (July 20 – August 7) we ran our mobile phone programming summer-school for students from around the world. This year we had 13 participants for the mobile phone programming track. During the three weeks the students get intensive crash course on mobile application development (this year the focus was on Android). Besides becoming familiar with various aspects of mobile programming the students also develop their own mobile applications. Typically this is great fun – and if you are interested in learning more about the upcoming AAU summer-schools or the mobile phone programming track, you can visit the AAU summer-school webpage here.

MIT RLE Seminar talk (Fulcrum Network Codes)

This coming Monday (May 11, 2015) at 2:00PM I will be giving at talk at MIT on our work on Fulcrum Network Codes.

Abstract:

This talk introduces Fulcrum network codes, a network coding framework that achieves three seemingly conflicting objectives: a) to reduce the overhead per coded packet to almost 1 bit per original packet; b) to operate the network using only GF(2) operations at intermediate nodes if necessary, reducing complexity in the network; c) to deliver an end-to-end performance that is close to that of a large field size network coding system for high-end receivers while simultaneously catering to low-end ones that can only decode in GF(2). As a consequence of (b) and (c), Fulcrum codes have a number of interesting traits making them interesting for practical implementations using network coding.

IETF 91 and the IRTF Network Coding Research Group

irtfThis week the IETF 91 is being held in Honolulu Hawaii and along side it several of the IRTF research groups are also meeting. I will presenting our work on Fulcrum Network Codes a the Network Coding Research Group (NWCRG) on the last day (Friday Nov. 14). You can find the agenda here.

If you want to watch the talks the IETF usually has very good remote participation tools. I would recommend the Meetecho option (direct link for the NWCRG Meetecho here).

AAU Summerschool 2014: Mobile Phone Programming

This summer (July 28 – August 15) we ran our mobile phone programming summer-school for students from around the world. This year we had 35 participants for the mobile phone programming track. During the three weeks the students get intensive crash course on mobile application development (this year the focus was on Android). Besides becoming familiar with various aspects of mobile programming the students also develop their own mobile applications. Typically this is great fun – and if you are interested in learning more about the upcoming AAU summer-schools or the mobile phone programming track, you can visit the AAU summer-school webpage here.
