Computers can now learn to solve networking problems for themselves, a study from the University of Waterloo has found.
Professors John Brzozowski and Lila Kari, Bai Li (BCS 2017) and their colleague Marek Szykuła from the University of Wrocław in Poland have received the Sheng Yu Award for best paper at CIAA 2018, the 23rd International Conference on Implementation and Applications of Automata.
Four first-year students finding their way to campus this September will be doing so with an extra spring in their step — one worth between $80,000 and $100,000.
Anyone who’s poured honey onto a stack of pancakes likely has been intrigued by the golden liquid’s motion as it oozes, buckles and coils like a rope. This behaviour is caused by the high viscosity of honey, a physical property of gooey liquids that makes them resistant to deformation.
Why do our veins look blue when blood is red? This is a seemingly elementary science trivia question, and certainly not one that computer science researchers would be expected to be interested in.
Physics-based animation can be used to test the strength of bridges and to make realistic animated films that blow your mind.

When you look at a scenic mountain photo typically everything in the distance is in sharp focus. But this scene might be even more captivating if something striking were in the foreground, perhaps a field of wild flowers in peak bloom. The problem is if the flowers are close to the lens relative to the mountains it’s impossible for all elements in the photo to be in perfect focus — if the flowers are sharp, the distant mountains will be blurry and vice versa.
Waterloo’s Faculty of Mathematics has been awarded a silver medal from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) International Circle of Excellence Awards for a video submitted to the fundraising for a campaign category.
