PhD Seminar • Systems and Networking • How do Computers Procrastinate Politely? A Review of Patterns Underlying Concurrency — Part 1

Please note: This PhD seminar will be given online.

Thierry Delisle, PhD candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisor: Professor Peter Buhr

What is the polite way for computer programs to procrastinate?

Postponing work politely means not preventing the progress of others, which requires taking turns letting others make eventual progress. When this happens quickly, there is the illusion of simultaneity and possibly real simultaneity.

Computer scientists develop Typealike system to expand input on a keyboard

A team of computer scientists has developed a new system that recognizes near-keyboard hand gestures to expand laptop interaction.

The new technology is an innovation in the field of human-computer interaction and allows users to give commands that would otherwise involve keyboard shortcuts or mouse round-trips.

Chance favours the prepared mind: CS student Richard Xie brings AI to real estate

During his inaugural lecture at the University of Lille in 1854, the French microbiologist and chemist Louis Pasteur said, “In the fields of observation chance favours only the prepared mind.”

Pasteur’s reflection is as true today as it was more than a century and a half ago. Those who observe the world keenly with minds that have been primed by experience and education will see novel ideas to pursue, original opportunities to explore.

PhD Seminar • Computer Graphics • General Coordinates Approach and Multi-Sided Extension of the Surface Blending Interpolation Scheme

Please note: This PhD seminar will be given online.

Xiang Fang, PhD candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisor: Professor Stephen Mann

With an update of the usage of coordinates and an extension of the blending formulas, it is possible to construct C-continuity instead of of G-continuity, and process n-sided faces as input.
