GENERAL POSTER SESSION

especially to develop a shared virtual space
where several participants can carry out
3D modeling tasks together. In our work,
we have added some modeling functions
to an existing program developed as part
of the BlenderOMV project. This has been
successful in a local environment.
Towards Efficient Medium Access for
60GHz Networks
Presenter: Mariya Z. Zheleva (University of
California, Santa Barbara)
We report initial results on prototyping
a MAC protocol for 60 GHz networks,
that employs learning and memory to
achieve implicit coordination among
network nodes, without requiring the use
of carrier sense mechanisms. While the
MAC is designed for 60 GHz networks, we
employ commodity 802.11 hardware for
our implementation, so that the protocol is
tested and ready for deployment when 60
GHz platforms become available.
Trends in Mobile Application
Development
Presenter: Desirée Gosby (Intuit)
This presentation will provide a high
level overview of trends in the mobile
ecosystem that are impacting how software
developers create mobile products and
services. Areas explored include mobile
technology fragmentation and the disruptive
evolution of mobile distribution and
monetization models. Finally, we’ll examine
the changing role of the mobile application
developer as an influence in the mobile
marketplace.
TrueErase: Full-Datapath Per-file
Secure Deletion
Presenter: Sarah Diesburg (Florida State
University)
The ability to delete sensitive data
securely from electronic storage is
important. However, current per-file deletion
solutions tend to be limited to one segment
of the operating system storage datapath
and may leave old versions of data behind.
TrueErase is a framework that enforces
secure deletion throughout the entire legacy
storage datapath. This framework performs
per-file secure deletion, works with common
file systems and storage, and handles
system failures.
Trust and Reputation for Supply Chain
Management
Presenter: Yasaman Haghpanah
(University of Maryland, Baltimore County)
One of the critical factors for a successful
cooperative relationship in a supply
chain partnership is trust. One shortcoming
of current Supply Chain Management (SCM)
models is that their trust models do not have
a strong theoretical basis. I propose a trust
model for SCM that is grounded in probabilistic
game theory. In this model, trust can be
gained through direct interactions and/or by
asking for information from other agents.
Two Way Virtual-Real Interaction in
Mixed Reality
Presenter: Yiyan Xiong (University of
Central Florida)
Physical interaction between physical
and cyber-spaces is a major research
challenge in Mixed Reality. An avatar for
each movable real object enables the real
world to affect virtual objects and vice versa.
These avatars must be photorealistic and
deformable to correspond to the movement
of the real objects. Furthermore, the mixed
reality scene must be able to seamlessly
switch between the real object and its
avatar counterpart.
Unifying Models for Estimating
Population Size and Demography
Presenter: Ashley Teufel (New Mexico
State University)
Mark-recapture methods are commonly
used by biologists for estimating
size and population parameters. Numerous
models have been proposed however, many
include convoluted notation or lack a straight
forward manner in predicting the population
size. We propose an extension to Caswell’s
(2001) Markov chain based model that
preserver his conceptual clarity and allows
for prediction of parameters for open and
closed populations as well as estimation of
the total population size.
Using Open Source to Learn Computer
Science Concepts in Developing
Countries
Presenter: Edith Pamela Rivero Tupac
(Universidad Nacional de San Antonio
Abad del Cusco)
In universities in developing countries,
computer science students face the
challenge of learning new concepts with
limited equipment. Thus, students look for a
set of alternate solutions to facilitate their
learning without depending on expensive
equipment. These solutions are mostly
based on the use of open source software.
In this poster, we will share our experience
using open source software to enhance the
learning of parallel programming techniques.
Utilizing Collaborative Teaching in
the First Courses for CS Majors: The
Findings
Presenter: Cynthia Lester (Tuskegee
University)
As the wide spread use of technology
grows, so does the demand for developing
technology. Yet for many computer
science majors, the first courses have proven
quite difficult, resulting in low passing rates
and a decline in the major. The current work
presents the findings from a study on how
undergraduate teaching assistants can be
utilized to create valuable collaborative
teaching experiences and assist in improving
passing and retention rates.
