India. In an attempt to help SOWED, the
Health information system and the computer
information system departments have
combined their efforts by bringing together
students to develop an electronic medical
record system.
Building a Successful and Sustainable
Training Outreach Program - Lessons
Learned
Presenter: Stephanie Garcia (New Mexico
State University)
Young Women in Computing (YWIC) is
an outreach program at New Mexico
State University targeting middle and high
school females. The goal is to introduce
them to computer science in middle school
and continue to give them options in CS
all through high school, hopefully resulting
in technology majors in university. YWIC
also plans to help these students pursue
their degrees by providing a student group,
tutoring and job opportunities.
Building the Computing Pipeline:
Recognizing & Supporting Young
Women Aspiring in Technology
Presenter: Ruthe Farmer (National Center
for Women & IT)
Isolation is one of the biggest factors
preventing young women from thriving
in computing classes in high school and
college. The NCWIT Award for Aspirations
in Computing program identifies and
connects these young women at a critical
stage in their educational experience. Learn
how to build a pipeline of young women into
computing and IT in your community utilizing
a national program model and toolkit
developed by NCWIT.
Career Transitions: Business to
Education
Presenter: Deborah Hughes (Lyndon State
College)
Have you considered making the transition
from business to education? This
poster presentation considers important
aspects of each profession and explores
factors to reflect on before choosing. It will
assist you in examining your strengths and
skills to determine if they are applicable
to education. Also, this investigation will
identify and explore possible career paths.
Finally, guidelines will be provided for the
successful transition to a new and fulfilling
career.
CBEAR : A New Energy Aware Routing
Algorithm
Presenter: Komal Jalan (Indian Institute of
Technology Guqahati)
CBEAR is a power-aware routing
algorithm for non-mobile sparse
wireless network in rural areas where
power supply is a problem. This algorithm is
oriented towards maintaining connectivity
of the network. Matrix manipulations on the
graph are used to find the contribution of
each node to connectivity which is used as a
routing metric. The residual battery capacity
of each node is also taken into account
during routing.
Cellular Automaton Model of Solid
Tumour Growth
Presenter: Jenna Cameron (University of
Western Ontario)
Solid mass tumours consist of mutated
cells exhibiting uncontrolled growth and
lack of correct response to signals. Cellular
automaton (CA) models involve individual
units that operate independently similar
to cancerous cells. The CA model being
presented models the growth of solid mass
tumours from the avascular growth phase to
the vascular growth phase and metastasis,
using partial differential equations representing
the environment. The model tests
the efficacy of brachytherapy.
Cloud Computing - Collaborative
Technology
Presenter: Sowmya Vijayalakshmi (IBM
India Private Ltd)
The research and development in the field
of collaborative technologies shows
phenomenal impact. One of the very popular
technology in the current age is cloud
computing. Adopting cloud computing has
a very powerful and potential impact and
Indeed cloud computing would work well
in reducing cost, managing resources and
being eco-friendly. This technical presentation
will focus on architecture & collaborative
capabilities of cloud computing & how
this technology is extremely beneficial.
Collaboration Through Pair
Programming
Presenter: Kera Watkins (Georgia
Southern University)
Research has indicated that pair programming
improves student retention. When
students pair program, they are happier and
they perform at least as well or better than
solo programming students. Informal peer
mentoring and increased student communication
is developed.
Collaborative Spam Detection for
Mobile Phone Text Messages
Presenter: Padmavathy Murthy
(Symantec)
This antispam solution helps curb spam
in text messages using a crowdsourcing
approach. We intend to provide smartphone
users with a special application that allows
them to report text messages as spam,
and look up the rating of a text message,
as determined by the crowd. To minimize
false positives and negatives, we maintain a
“Reliability Quotient” for each participating
user, rewarding or penalizing them based on
the reporting accuracy.
