article)
-
10/05 IEEE SECON 2005: Two papers co-authored
by ANRG members were presented at IEEE SECON 2005. One co-authored
by Gang Lu and Prof. Krishnamachari, on joint scheduling and power
control, and one co-authored by Wei-Jen Hsu, Chih-Ping Li, Prof.
Krishnamachari and Prof. Helmy, on geograhic routing with power
control. Prof. Krishnamachari also co-chaired the demo session
at this conference. .
-
09/05 Thesis Defense: Gang Lu has successfully
defended his Ph.D. thesis.
-
08/05 Industry Gift: Bosch RTC, Palo Alto,
has provided a gift grant to ANRG to study Mobility Support in
Wireless Sensor Networks. This continues our existing collaboration.
-
05/05 Thesis Defenses: Narayanan Sadagopan
and Yang Yu (advised by Prof. Viktor Prasanna) defended their
repsective theses successfully. Narayanan is joining Yahoo Research,
while Yang has joined Motorola Research.
-
05/05 Student Paper Award: Gang Lu received
the
best student paper prize from the USC EE department for his
INFOCOM 2005 paper on delay efficient sleep scheduling.
-
03/05 IEEE INFOCOM Paper: A paper on
delay efficient sleep scheduling in sensor networks co-authored
by Gang Lu, Narayanan Sadagopan, Prof. Krishamachari and Prof.
Ashish Goel from Stanford, was presented at INFOCOM this year.

08/04 IEEE SECON Papers: Four papers from
ANRG have been accepted to the first IEEE conference on sensor
and ad hoc communications and networks. This is a higly competitive
and visible conference: only 68 from 358 submitted papers were
accepted (about 19% acceptance rate). These included papers coauthored
by Prof. Krishnamachari with Marco Zuniga (on analyzing the transitional
region in wireless links), Dongjin Son and Prof. John Heidemann
(on experimental power control), and two co-authored with Prof.
Jay Kuo and his students Jae-Joon Lee (on lifetime coverage sensing
with heterogeneous nodes) and Lorenzo Rossi (on estimation of
PDE diffusion models in sensor nets).
-
07/04 IEEE EmNets-I Paper: A paper by students
Pritam Baruah, Rahul Urgaonkar, and Prof. Krishnamachari has been
accepted to the first IEEE workshop on embedded networks, to be
held in November in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2004.
-
07/04 ACM VANET Paper: A paper co-authored
by Shyam Kapadia, Prof. Krishnamachari and Prof. Shahram Ghandeharizadeh
from USC on availability policies for multimedia content in a
vehicular peer to peer network was one of only 9 full papers accepted
to the vehicular ad-hoc networks workshop at Mobicom this year.
-
06/04 ACM Sensys Paper: A paper co-authored
by Marco Zuniga and Prof. Krishnamachari, along with Karim Seada
and Prof. Ahmed Helmy, on energy efficient geographic routing,
is one of only 21 out of 145 submissions to be accepted to the
ACM SenSys '04 conference.
-
05/04 Summer Opportunities: Some ANRG
members are spending their summer at interesting places. Industry
internships include Avinash Sridharan (Sprint ATL Research), Kiran
Yedavalli (Bosch Research), Sundeep Pattem (Ember Corporation).
Narayanan Sadagopan is spending a few weeks at Stanford University.
-
04/04 Best Student Paper Award: Sundeep
Pattem has received a best student paper award at the ACM/IEEE
Third International Symposium on Information Processing in Sensor
Networks (IPSN '04). This award was shared by three papers (out
of 50 accepted papers, from 145 submissions) including our paper:
-
04/04 Industry Gift: Ember Corporation,
Boston, has provided a gift grant to ANRG to study Radio Environments
for Wireless Embedded Networks.
-
-
-
02/04 ACM/IEEE IPSN Papers: Two papers
from ANRG were accepted to the Symposium on Information Processing
in Sensor Networks (IPSN '04). This is a major conference in the
area of sensor networks.
2003
-
12/03 Industry Gift: Bosch RTC, Palo Alto,
has provided a gift grant to ANRG to study Location Determination
in Wireless Sensor Networks.
- 11/03 IEEE Infocom Papers: Two papers from ANRG were accepted
to IEEE Infocom '04, first-authored by Narayanan Sadagopan and Yang
Yu respectively. This is a highly competitive conference with an acceptance
rate of about 18 percent this year.
- 10/03 A Fundamental Result: Prof. Goel and Rai from Stanford
have proved the conjecture (suggested by Prof. Krishnamachari's PhD
thesis work) that all properties in random geometric graphs
(that are used to model ad-hoc and sensor networks) undergo sharp
phase transitions so long as they are monotone:
- Update: 1/22/03: the paper has been accepted to the ACM Symposium
on Theory of Computing (STOC), 2004.
- Update 2 (2005): the journal version of this paper appears in the
Annals of Applied Probability.
- 9/03 Zumberge Award: Prof. Krishnamachari and Prof. Ordonez
from Industrial Systems Engineering were awarded a USC Zumberge Interdisciplinary
Research Grant for Optimization of Wireless Sensor Networks.
