GLOBAL IMPACT THROUGH COMPUTING AND ENGINEERING
Director’s Welcome Dear Friends and Colleagues, Hello from Tempe and welcome to our 2009 – 2010 Annual Report. This has been an exciting year as we kicked off the new School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering. By combining our existing healthy programs in Computer Science, Computer Systems Engineering, and Industrial Engineering, we have constructed a school that spans the spectrum from data to decisions. We begin with a goal of envisioning, creating, and implementing transformational technologies for improving our everyday life through secure, timely, assured and ubiquitous access to reliable and relevant information. For the business analyst, that may mean understanding the current state of one’s competitors and supply chain. For the blind individual, that means artificial sensory perception to enable self-reliance. Our faculties of Computer Science and Engineering and Industrial Engineering are coalescing into an integrated academic unit that is reshaping the information driven society through internal cooperation and transdisciplinary external collaborations. The school is making significant strides – growing in breadth while simultaneously strengthening our core disciplines and individual program size. We now have over 1,500 on-campus students and many more participating in our on-line programs. Particularly gratifying is the continued advancement in the quality and quantity of our research. Our funded research and number of graduate research assistants continues to grow.

COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND ALGORITHMS Computational intelligence encompasses a collection of fundamental research areas dealing with the creation of knowledge from data, the development of algorithms for controlling computing decisions, and the effective approaches for interfacing computers and humans. The area focuses on enhancing human decision making and learning and the automation of computing processes. Specialty Areas and Faculty Contacts: Artificial Intelligence. SCIDSE researchers are addressing problems in automated planning and scheduling, constraint satisfaction, knowledge representation and reasoning, natural language processing, multi agent systems, and the semantic web. (Chitta Baral, Pat Langley, Joohyung Lee, Subbarao Kambhampati, Kurt VanLehn, Jieping Ye) Theory and Algorithms. Understanding complexity and the theory of computation are critical for developing efficient algorithms. Research in this group focuses on both fundamental theory for analyzing algorithms and on developing specific deterministic and randomized algorithms for solving classic problem formulations relevant to the emerging problems in society and technology. (Rida Bazzi, Charles Colbourn, Goran Konjevod, Andrea Richa, Muhong Zhang)
Data Mining and Machine Learning. As scientific and enterprise data sets grow with respect to data characteristics (scale, accuracy, timeliness, media), dimensions, and instances it becomes imperative to develop new approaches to extract spatial and temporal relationships, correlation patterns and knowledge. The faculty are actively engaged in developing new methods for identifying patterns and extracting information. (Huan Liu, George Runger, Teresa Wu, Jieping Ye, Nong Ye) Imaging, Graphics and Visualization. Rendering clearer images of urban scenes for games and homeland security, geometric modeling of images for new approaches to detect biosignature disease indicators using volumetric and other measures, recovery and digitization of information content in physical media and dynamic movements are all being addressed by SCIDE researchers. (Gerald Farin, Baoxin Li, Gregory Nielson, Peter Wonka, Yalin Wang) Statistical Modeling. From universe to earth to nano scale, random phenomena influence behavior. Models and methods are being developed to better understand and predict random behavior to allow for more efficient acquisition of knowledge (Design of Experiments), improved estimation of system reliability, better characterization of system capability and making more accurate and meaningful inferences from data.

Research Brief - COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND ALGORITHMS "Finding Allies for the War of Words," which is funded through 2013, is part of the Minerva Initiative, a social science research program funded by the U.S. Department of Defense. Woodward, whose expertise is in Islam in Southeast Asia, leads a multi-disciplinary, multi-university team that includes, from ASU, Hasan Davulcu and Arun Sen (School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering), Steven Corman (Hugh Downs School of Human Communication), and Thomas Taylor (School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences); David Jacobson of the University of South Florida; Riva Kastoryano, Centre d'Etudes et de Recherches Internationales, Sciences Po (France); and Muhammad Sani Umar, Northwestern University. “Despite the enormous literature concerning extremist Muslim movements,” stated Linell Cady, Director of CSRC, “there has been little discussion of the role of religious and cultural practices in countering them. This project aims to address that gap by examining the ways in which Muslim communities themselves fight back against extremist groups, at local, regional and global levels.” At a colloquium on this topic sponsored by the Center, Muhammad Sani Umar, who heads the West Africa team, detailed the difficulties of such a project. “Radical and non-radical discourses,” said Umar, “interact with each other within the same political and social environments, and overlap intellectually by invoking the same Islamic authorities to support their divergent viewpoints and agendas. This makes it especially difficult for diplomats and policy makers who are looking for dichotomous identifications that are too simplistic and too unreliable.”
"Finding Allies for the War of Words: Mapping the Diffusion and Influence of Counter-Radical Muslim Discourse” (Sponsor: DOD) When a Muslim-American citizen tries to set off a car bomb in New York's Times Square, many fear that the process of radicalization of all Muslims is well underway in Islamic communities at home and abroad. Many Muslims around the world are also worried about this prospect and are working to defeat violent extremists within their communities. But they don’t always get attention—from the media, from policy makers, or from academic researchers. A new research project led by ASU’s Center for the Study of Religion and Conflict, "Finding Allies for the War of Words: Mapping the Diffusion and Influence of Counter-Radical Muslim Discourse," is seeking to change that. The project, which involves an international team of researchers, will examine what Muslims in the key regions of West African, Western Europe, and Southeast Asia are doing to counter and thwart the advance of radicalization. "Many in the part of the world I study (Indonesia) are becoming increasingly concerned by what they see as an attempt by Middle Eastern groups to use wealth and prestige to establish an exclusionist, puritanical understanding of Islam as the voice of Islam. While this understanding of Islam is not inherently violent, it does, in some cases, provide theological cover for violent extremists," according to Mark Woodward, the principal investigator for the project and associate professor in the College of Liberal Arts and Science’s School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies.

An innovative feature of the project is the way in which field researchers are working with a computer science research group. Headed by Hasan Davulcu, an associate professor of computer science and engineering, the team is developing a new approach to ethnographic research that takes account of the extensive global conversation taking place on the internet. Davulcu talked about how his team of faculty and graduate students utilize computer technologies to process the volumes of material on the web. "The field ethnographers guide us to key terms and phrases that are commonly found in radical and counter-radical discourses. We look at what's online - speeches, rhetoric, attitudes – and train our automated system to recognize these patterns automatically.” “We then apply these patterns to large publicly available document collections such as news sites and public discussion forums. This helps us to see shifts in opinions and influence within radical and counter-radical discourse," Davulcu said. ASU was one of seven U.S. universities selected from a pool of 211 applicants to receive a Minerva award. Other awardees include MIT, Princeton, University of Texas at Austin, UC-San Diego, the Monterey Institute of International Studies, and San Francisco State University. “The Center for the Study of Religion and Conflict has brought together an impressive global team to address this problem,” said Cady. “By paying closer attention to the trends in religious and cultural values that help build and sustain peace, we can help deepen understanding between societies and contribute to wiser, more effective solutions.”
Children’s Health Project: Linking Asthma to PM10 in Central Phoenix Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ), the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS), Arizona State University researchers from the School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering (SCIDSE), Center for Health Research, and the Center for Environmental Fluid Dynamics Asthma is the most common chronic disease among children in developed countries with increasing rates reported in many countries, including the United States. A joint project between the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ), the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS), and Arizona State University researchers from the School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering (led by George Runger), the Center for Health Research, and the Center for Environmental Fluid Dynamics collaborated to study the relationship between air quality and childhood asthma in central Phoenix.
percentile -36 μg/m³ in this study - is associated with a 13% increase in the probability of asthma incidents, an effect much stronger than in previous studies. • The effects of age and gender were insignificant. Additional Findings: • CMAQ generally underestimated the higher PM10 concentrations and overestimated the lower, with the better correlations for the higher concentrations. • The better correlations in the higher concentration regimes, despite their under predictions, still bode well for the viability of the predictive tool to warn asthma populations in central Phoenix. • The under predictions were most pronounced at the two maximum concentration sites of Durango Complex and West 43rd Avenue, which represent the worst PM10 air quality in metropolitan Phoenix. • Any predictive system that comes close to predicting these peak concentrations provides adequate protection for asthmatic children in the rest of greater Phoenix.
Arizona has a higher rate than the U.S. overall, and rates in Maricopa County were particularly high. Ambient air contains a wide-range of pollutants including airborne particles of different sizes. Interpolated concentrations of PM10 (particulate matter under 10 micrometers in size) from a five-site network provided a spatial distribution that was mapped onto census tracts. This data was linked with a large volume of health transactions records from ADHS and the Arizona Heath Query (AZHQ) database from the Center for Health Research. Extensive data pre-processing and preparation was required, and a spatial and temporal map between air quality and locations was developed. The models were challenged by strong seasonal effects for both air quality and asthma and needed to account for confounding variables such as day of the week, patient-level covariates (e.g., age, gender, lifestyle, etc.), and the presence of other air pollutants. The researchers detected a significant association between PM10 in central Phoenix and childhood asthma incidents. The project demonstrated the capability for ASU and various state organizations to collaborate on an interdisciplinary project. In addition, they demonstrated methods useful to interrogate large heath bases, and methods to spatially and temporally link environmental models to those for health outcomes and account for many potentially confounding effects. Major findings on Asthma and PM10: • PM10 concentrations have a statistically significant association with asthma incidents in central Phoenix at the 95% confidence level. • For children ages 5-17 an increase in the daily mean PM10 from the 25th to the 75th

DATA MANAGEMENT AND INFORMATION ASSURANCE While networks connect entities, it is the data transmitted across those networks that empowers objects and enriches life. With terabytes of data being produced daily by single applications, storage, processing, and retrieval become key challenges. Knowing what, where, how, and how long to store and index data for later use are major challenges. The assured and secure functioning of this data management aspect in cyber space is critical to developing a trustworthy system that can support the needs of our modern information society.
Information Assurance and Security: As a certified National Center for Academic Excellence, the Information Assurance Center forms a focal point for research and education in information assurance and security. Ensuring privacy and protection from attack for personal computers and corporate servers are challenges being addressed as well as developing schemes for addressing new distributed technologies such as cloud computing. (GailJoon Ahn, Partha Dasgupta, Dijiang Huang, Guoliang Xue, Stephen Yau, Nong Ye)
Specialty Areas and Faculty Contacts:
Multimedia: Data comes in many forms with intended use for many purposes in many environments. Virtualization must accommodate text, video, audio, tactile and eventually taste, smell and emotional response for high fidelity representation of the real world experience. Models for integrating multimedia and the creation of new technologies for multimedia educational experiences are under development. Additionally, SCIDSE researchers are making advances in heterogeneous data fusion and developing new tools to aid physically-impaired individuals. (Winslow Burleson, K. Selcuk Candan, Baoxin Li, Jeremy Rowe, Sethuraman Panchanathan, Hari Sundaram)
Database Management and Information Retrieval: With close links to AI, query processing and extracting desired information from large, heterogeneous data bases represents a major challenge being addressed by SCIDSE researchers. Understanding data storage and designing storage protocols to enable efficient integrated workflow with data services and semantic web motivate research activities. (Chitta Baral, Yi Chen, K. Selcuk Candan, Hasan Davulcu, Subbarao Kambhampati)

“Preserving the Past with the Modern Archive” Archaeology is uniquely able to address research questions concerning social and ecological processes that operate at centennial or millennial scales. By providing scholars in diverse fields with meaningful access to long-term data on society, human biology, population, and environment, it has the potential to help scientists explain the dynamics that have constituted today's social world and shaped the modern environment. While archaeologists are awash in data -on the order of 50,000 field investigations are undertaken annually in the US alone- the information needed to address these pressing questions is almost never collected by a single research team. The inability to integrate systematically collected data across different projects has crippled scientists' efforts to perform the crucial synthetic research needed to illuminate these important phenomena. With $1.35 million in grants from the National Science Foundation, a multi-disciplinary team (led by Profs. K. Selcuk Candan of SCIDSE and Keith Kintigh of the School of Human Evolution & Social Change (SHESC), with scientific contributions from Profs. Chitta Baral, Hasan Davulcu, Subbarao Khambampati and Maria Luisa Sapino of SCIDSE, and K. Spielmann and M. Nelson of SHESC have developed an international cyber infrastructure for archaeological data and documents, called tDAR (the Digital Archaeological Record, http://tdar.org).
tDAR is designed to enable scientists to observe and explore alternative models, data and metadata to inform the system regarding preferred strategies for integration. In 2009, the Mellon Foundation rewarded Candan and Kintigh's research and prototyping efforts with a two-year, $1.3 million grant (with additional funding contingent on the team's progress). That grant embeds tDAR in a new ASU Center for Digital Antiquity (http://digitalantiquity.org), a multi-institutional organization dedicated to establishing tDAR as the repository for archaeological data of the Americas and ensuring its long-term financial, technical, and social sustainability. Because archaeology offers the only centennial- and millennial-scale data on the complex interactions that characterize socio-ecological systems, tDAR will enhance - to an unprecedented degree - the scientific understandings of the complex relationships between social and environmental change. Therefore, beside the potential for a transformative impact on archaeology, the team's research on fundamental information integration challenges contributes substantially to a shared infrastructure of science.
tDAR offers cutting-edge data integration capabilities based on an innovative "user-driven integration" paradigm that enables integration of data and knowledge bases created by different researchers who use inconsistent recording protocols and conflicting schemas. Data and knowledge integration are costly in the time and expertise required from domain experts and are computationally challenging due to the complexities that arise when sources are not trivially compatible. Most existing solutions rely on a one-size-fits-all approach in which data are integrated up-front to a uniform standard. This solution, however, is not acceptable in scientific research, including archaeology, in which the variables of interest are many inferential steps removed from the observable variables and arguments must be comprised of a sequence of analytical steps that are individually assessed. Candan and his colleagues observed that scientists bring a great deal of contextual knowledge to their integrative analyses and have strong beliefs about the kinds of integration operations that would be scientifically acceptable. They are, thus, indispensable to the integration process: their needs, assumptions, and knowledge must be leveraged to their fullest extents during the integration process. Candan states that "overly-eager, early conflict resolution (where some alternative interpretations are deemed inapplicable without sufficient evidence) can be detrimental to the effective use of the available knowledge." Therefore, he further argues that "the data and knowledge integration systems should not forget the user and, thus, should avoid a 'one-size-fits-all' approach to integration." Consequently,

NETWORK SCIENCE AND SYSTEMS Networks permeate modern life. From the open and virtual private networks that support electronic data interchange within and between commercial enterprises to the wireless, mobile networks that enrich our personal lives by keeping us in contact with our friends and family, to the sensor networks that protect the homeland and enable scientific exploration, network technologies support our existence and constitute the backbone of cyber infrastructure. Protocols for ensuring safe, pervasive, and ubiquitous access to information must constantly adapt to the changing environment, both in terms of scale and technology. Modeling interactions and ensuring resiliency for today’s usage and preparing for tomorrow present significant research challenges being addressed at ASU. Specialty Areas and Faculty Contacts: Cloud and Distributed Computing. Maximizing the effective use of dispersed idle computing cycles while ensuring information reliability and security poses a major challenge being addressed by researchers. At the same time, growing calls for sustainable energy use dictate the need for careful design and management of large data centers and new strategies to support service oriented architectures. Along with these computing trends, the growing use of multimedia data presents the need for new data structures, application programming interfaces, and encoding rules. (K. Selcuk Candan, Partha Dasgupta, Sandeep Gupta, Dijiang Huang, Wei-Tek Tsai, Stephen Yau) (Internet Topology Map)

Cyber-Physical and Embedded Systems. Most modern devices from automobiles to smart phones are defined by their integrated hardware/software systems for sensing, computing, controlling, and communicating. Designing the network of interacting cyber-physical entities for efficiency, reliability, autonomy, sustainability and functionality is an on-going challenge being addressed by the group as well as embedded systems issues such as partitioning functions between hardware and software for maximizing performance with minimal power and cost. Architectural design and parallelism issues are paramount in preparing for the paradigm of multi-thread and multicore processors. The Center for Embedded Systems forms the core of this research and provides numerous opportunities for industrial collaboration as well as addressing fundamental challenges. (Karam Chatha, Georgios Fainekos, Sandeep Gupta, Yann-Hang Lee, Don Miller, Pitu Mirchandani, Aviral Shrivastava, Sarma Vrudhula) Network Algorithms. Research spans problems in wireless, wireline, optical and transportation networks encompassing a broad range of problems from the design of resilient network architectures to operational routing to ensure connectedness in mobile ad hoc networks. Location services, access control and scheduling, self-stabilizing protocols, coverage and connectivity, multi path and QoS routing and congestion modeling are among areas of active interest by the research group. (Sandeep Gupta, Pitu Mirchandani, Andrea Richa, Arunabha Sen, Violet Syrotiuk, Guoliang Xue) Social Computing. Social computing research seeks to understand social behavior and context based on communication systems. Based on the integration of social, physical, psychological and governmental mechanisms, this research relies on multidisciplinary collaboration to develop novel theories, behavior models and pattern mining tools to predict and connect the actions and interactions of individuals, groups, communities, and nation-states. The results have important application for commercial sponsors, social scientists, and security agencies alike. (Gail-Joon Ahn, Hasan Davulcu, Huan Liu, Guoliang Xue)
"Making Cloud Computing Green by Exploring their Cyber-physical Nature” Cloud computing relies on large data centers (a. k. a. server farms). According to a recent survey, data centers account for about 3% of the US energy budget. About half of that energy is used for cooling, making them of poor energy efficiency. Research at the IMPACT Lab (http://impact.asu.edu) at the School of Computing, Informatics and Decision Systems Engineering focuses on safe, sustainable, and secure high-performance, distributed, mobile and pervasive computing. One of its major efforts is in making data centers greener but with a twist: it makes use of their cyber-physical nature, that is, the fact that their physical performance (i.e. energy consumption) is tightly related to their cyber performance (i.e. computing). If we allow computers to be aware of their thermal impact on their immediate environment, and equip them with the ability to adjust their computing accordingly, they can potentially schedule their computing to minimize this impact and, hence, help to reduce total energy consumption. "The trick is how to acquire and organize the knowledge of the thermal impact and make it usable by computers," said Professor Sandeep Gupta, who is the director for the IMPACT lab. "In other words, the trick is in the modeling of their cyber-physical nature and developing the management algorithms so that computers can use those models to adjust their operation and be greener."
The energy inefficiency is caused by thermal phenomena such as heat recirculation and hot spots. These phenomena make the air-conditioning units work harder, in less efficient modes. By understanding and modeling the heat recirculation and how it is determined by the operation of the computers in the room, it is possible to adjust the computation to reduce the energy-wasting effects of heat recirculation. Over the years, Dr. Gupta's research on Green Computing has been funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), Intel Corp. Science Foundation of Arizona, and Raytheon. The IMPACT Lab is working on an NSF funded computing research infrastructure project called BlueTool (http://impact.asu.edu/BlueTool). The project's main objective is to design, construct and operate a small-sized data center to be used as a testbed for thermal-aware management algorithms. "Testing our models and algorithms in an actual data center is prohibitively expensive. BlueTool is the tool for showing the effectiveness of thermal-aware management, a data center available to the research community to test their algorithms for free," said Professor Gupta. "Once BlueTool is in operation we will be able to measure the energy savings which could be up to 50%, according to our simulations. Through our efforts, we hope to make cloud computing greener and more sustainable." Additionally, the IMPACT lab is involved with the FDA in making medical devices safer and more secure for pervasive health care.

SOFTWARE AND SYSTEMS ENGINEERING Software instantiates our intentions and controls modern devices. Its pervasiveness in society, new computing paradigms and the growing complexity of many systems dictate the need for on-going development of flexible, reliable, and usable tools and development practices. Those new software tools and practices are then applied to applications that integrate computational theory, data, and networks. Within SCIDSE major efforts are having an impact in the areas of health informatics, personalized learning, logistics, enterprise information processes and modeling and simulation. Specialty areas and faculty contacts: Enterprise Systems. Collaborative design and decision making in an environment with dynamically evolving and distributed collaborators and competitors motivates the development of new tools and information sharing protocols being developed by the faculty. Methods for evaluating and improving systems engineering tools are also being developed. (Dan Shunk, Teresa Wu) Health Informatics. SCIDSE faculty is actively engaged in the development and application of data mining tools for diagnosing disease incidence from health records. Designing patient and workflow processes to improve system efficiency are also active initiatives for SCIDSE researchers in health care. An additional thrust focuses on utilizing ubiquitous and pervasive computing to increase functionality and independence of physically-challenged individuals. At a higher level, policy analysis studies for public health policy and emergency management are being conducted.

Personalized Learning and Educational Games. With a basic goal of understanding how we learn and a secondary goal of improving the attractiveness and effectiveness of STEM education, SCIDSE faculty are developing intelligent virtual tutors and games that customize learning to the individual, taking HCI to a new level. (Mary Anderson-Rowland, Robert Atkinson, Winslow Burleson, Brian Nelson, Kurt VanLehn) Production Logistics. Operations engineering of enterprises with an emphasis on the movement of people, information, and goods constitutes a major application area for operational analysis and systems modeling. Faculty research develops algorithms to efficiently produce products to meet demand and ensure safe, efficient transport of goods. (Ron Askin, John Fowler, Esma Gel, Pitu Mirchandani, Rene Villalobos) Simulation Modeling and Systems. Throughout science, data-driven models take on a large role. SCIDSE faculty are developing structured languages and modeling tools to support the expanding role of simulation in turning scientific advances into knowledge and engineered solutions. (John Fowler, Hessam Sarjoughian, Wei-Tek Tsai, Teresa Wu) Software Engineering Ensuring the reliability of software, assuring the provenance of data and the security of information transmittal are on-going challenges addressed by SCIDSE as we develop methods to enable new paradigms such as cloud computing. Research is ensuring effective functionality for middleware and application systems. (James Collofello, Hessam Sarjoughian, Wei-Tek Tsai, Stephen Yau)
"Engineering Healthcare Delivery to Save Lives at Lower Cost ” SCIDSE Researchers Team with Mayo Clinic to Examine Radiation Exposure During Medical Procedures The issue of radiation exposure during medical procedures has become an important public health issue as the number of procedures increases. Several cancers are known to be associated with high-dose exposure, including leukemia, breast, lung, esophageal, ovarian and gastric cancers, multiple myeloma and skin damage. The primary concerns are not for one or two scans but the cumulative exposure over a lifetime of multiple scans and a variety of radiation sources . It has been estimated that 50% of the CT scans performed on children and infants were potentially unnecessary. Having a comprehensive radiation dose information system, will ultimately reduce the numbers of these types of examinations. Researchers from the Mayo Clinic Arizona (led by Dr. William Pavlicek) and SCIDSE (led by Drs. Teresa Wu and Muhong Zhang) are collaborating to integrate imaging data and clinical data through hospital information systems to electronically capture patient radiation dose. The objective is to accurately assess radiation exposure from multiple sources . In addition, a productivity tool termed “Imaging Exam Time Monitor©” (IETM) is being developed to accurately and transparently monitor imaging scanner efficiency for all devices and patients. In addition to providing physicians with radiation dose information specific to their patients to assist in prescribing tests, the IETM replaces current paper based methods and facilitates compliance with State and Accrediting Agency regulations. The efficiency metrics derived permit operations staff to identify and suggest changes for improvements aimed at reducing healthcare costs and improving patient safety. Quality of Health Care Impact: Lowering radiation will immediately improve the quality of healthcare. A summary of the impact on improving Health Care Quality form this project includes:
• Providing quantitative data that identifies opportunities to reduce radiation exposure. • Enabling standards of dose usage including the ability to follow guidelines of an episode of dose and the number of exams that should be ordered for a specific patient.
• Establishing monitoring and quality metrics for Quality Assurance purposes (e.g., • • • •
monitoring by patients, by imaging modality, by physicians, by types of equipment). Improving our understanding of benefits and risk with the use of ionizing radiation. Automatically identifying patients who are at increased risk for adverse radiation effects and identifying the best practices with respect to radiation. Providing an easy, consistent way to comply with state and federal radiation regulations. Demonstrating a comprehensive response to national concerns over the consequences of radiation misuse.
With the successful implementation of this valuable data made readily available to all hospital information centers through a shared network, patients and physicians alike can utilize this important tool when making their decision on the risk vs. benefit factor of their next CT scan.

RESEARCH CENTERS
CENTER for COGNITIVE UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING (CUbiC) The Center for Cognitive Ubiquitous Computing (CUbiC) at Arizona State University is an inter-disciplinary research center focused on cutting edge research targeting a variety of applications. Most ubiquitous computing research takes a technology-centric view in solving real world problems. It is our belief that a balanced technology and problem-centric view is required in tackling challenging application domains. By targeting applications that require ubiquitous computing solutions, in contrast to applications with a ubiquitous computing flavor brings out the underlying challenges that need to be addressed. In keeping with this spirit, we have chosen to serve the needs of physically challenged individuals by empowering them with ubiquitous and pervasive computing technologies to enrich their lives. Motivated by this approach, we have assembled focus groups of blind and hearing-impaired individuals, researchers involved in disability studies and mobility instructors to bring out the real needs in this application.

CONSORTIUM for EMBEDDED SYSTEMS The Consortium for Embedded Systems (CES) was established in 2001 as an Industry/University partnership dedicated to developing a globally recognized center for embedded computing system technologies. In March 2009 CES achieved the designation of National Science Foundation Industry/ University Cooperative Research Center. Objects ranging from an iPod to an automobile use advanced computer technology commonly concealed by a metallic or decorative cover. Advanced technology of this nature usually operates through an embedded computer system. The Consortium for Embedded Systems (CES) researches the inner workings of embedded computer systems. A simplified explanation of embedded systems is that they are special purpose computer systems designed to perform one or a few dedicated functions and are part of a complete device including hardware and mechanical parts. Although most people do not realize it, they use some form of embedded systems in their daily interactions at work and at home.
CENTER for ENGINEERING LOGISTICS & DISTRIBUTION (CELDi) CELDi is an applied research and education consortium consisting of nine major research universities, more than 30 member organizations from commercial, military and government sectors of the economy, and The National Science Foundation (NSF). The ASU Center provides an international component to the consortium through its transborder studies.

CELDi partnerships achieve logistics and distribution excellence by solving real problems that achieve bottom-line impact, graduating students with realworld project experience, producing generalized, cutting-edge research, and sharing research results amongst member organizations to leverage intellectual and monetary capital.
INFORMATION ASSURANCE CENTER (IAC) Information systems through various types of networks have been indispensable for modern societies in the information age. To use and process information with great confidence, both the information systems and networks as well as the information must be trustworthy. For this objective, users need not only dependable and secure information systems and networks, but effective mechanisms to ensure integrity and quality. The Information Assurance Center (IAC) is a multi-disciplinary center focusing on both research and educational activities to address the broad issues of developing trustworthy information systems (TIS) and ensuring the quality of information being stored, processed and transmitted by information systems and networks. Current research activities involve foundational, network, system and application aspects of developing and testing TIS; steganography; facial recognition, video surveillance, multimedia data processing, dynamic and deterministic Quality of Service management; data mining for security, privacy in data management; and situation-awareness.
PARTNERSHIP for RESEARCH in SPACIAL MODELING (PRISM) PRISM is the focal point at Arizona State University for interdisciplinary research in modeling and visualization to permit intelligent analysis and create spatial and dynamic knowledge. The Partnership for Research in Spatial Modeling (PRISM) has a history of collaborative partnerships that center around how to develop, capture, model, analyze and interact with three-dimensional data. Researchers work with large, complex data sets from scanning devices that include 3D laser scanners, optical facial scanners and probe microscopes. 3D algorithms and software created by PRISM researchers allow users to accurately model and automatically segment, extract, measure and analyze features of interest to discipline researchers. The computer-aided geometric design (CAGD) modeling and analytic tools developed at PRISM apply to surfaces and volumes within complex data sets regardless of scale.

CAREER AWARDS Using Computers to Help the Visually Impaired
Baoxin Li
Associate Professor
Baoxin Li is working in the areas of computer vision, multimedia processing and statistical methods in visual computing. His Career Award provides about $404,000 over five years for research into technology to aid visually impaired people. “We want to build a computer-based system to automatically create tactile graphics for people with visual disabilities,” Li says. His idea is to use computer technology to allow a person with visual impairments to read text or view web site content on-demand in the privacy of their own homes and work spaces in the same way as people without sight impairments. His research team is attempting to render representations of graphics usable by the visually impaired. One project is the development of software designed to “read” an image and render a tactile representation of that image. Initially, Li is focusing on textbooks used by students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, commonly referred to as STEM courses. He explains that STEM education materials are “heavy with diagrams and illustrations” presenting a challenge for sight-impared students who must seek out services to assist them in comprehending the illustrations that are central to STEM studies.
Unlocking the Door to the Internet’s Deep Well of Data Yi Chen's work in computer science and engineering focuses on data management. She wants to improve the accessibility of Internet data for search engine users. Chen points out that Internet users employ Google to access millions of HTML documents accessible on the World Wide Web. In addition to this easily searched information, there is a "hidden web," she says, that includes high-quality research, travel, commerce and manufacturing data stored in databases not easily accessed by search engines such as Google. "The better research information you have," says Chen," the better your discoveries can be." Chen would like to develop a single interface that can search both HTML documents and databases using simple keyword searches. The NSF cites Chen's work as a potentially transformative advance because it would allow the user to cut across the boundaries between information that is stored in distinctly different modes, and it would overcome some of the problems associated with traditional databases and methods of information retrieval. Dean Deirdre Meldrum presents Drs. Baoxin Li (above) and Yi Chen (right) with their NSF Career Awards

Assistant Professor
Cutting Through the Torrent of Data: Dimensionality Reduction Recent advances in high-throughput technologies have unleashed a torrent of data with a large number of dimensions. Examples include gene expression pattern images, microarray gene expression data, protein/gene sequences, and neuroimages. Dimensionality reduction, which extracts a small number of features by removing irrelevant and redundant information, is crucial for the analysis of these data. The goal of this project is to develop efficient and effective dimensionality reduction algorithms for multi-label classification. Ye states "My work aims at developing efficient and effective dimensionality reduction algorithms for knowledge discovery and pattern mining from massive high-dimensional multi-label data. High dimensional data analysis has become increasingly important in diverse areas including genomics, health sciences, finance, statistics, signal processing, and machine learning." The algorithms and tools developed in this project will directly impact biological research, as they will be used to annotate FlyExpress images. FlyExpress is the only digital library of standardized fruit fly embryonic patterns. The components of this project include developing a new curriculum that incorporates research into the classroom and provides students from under-represented groups with opportunities.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH SCIDSE’s Motivational Environments Research Group Advances K-12 STEM Cyberlearning
environments, these expeditions introduce and empower participants to engage with and advance new experiences that foster personal ownership of STEM skills, learning and creativity.
SCIDSE’s Motivational Environments research group, led by Assistant Professor Winslow Burleson, is advancing the next generation of HumanComputer Interaction methods, theories, technologies, architectures, and environments that incorporate wearable and ambient sensors, responsive spaces, robots and relational agents to promote creativity, teamwork, learning, and motivation. These activities are pursued through collaborations with teachers, online communities and museums involved in the research and development of novel educational technologies and the iterative deployment and evaluations of these in real world classrooms, museums, zoos and outdoor settings through participatory design methodologies.
The Motivational Environments group is training teachers and museum educators with new skills to implement effective use of the innovative cyber learning technologies and methodologies. With collaborators at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and MIT, Dr. Burleson’s Intelligent Tutoring Systems have been used by thousands of students. All of this is made possible through close collaborations with the San Francisco Exploratorium, Smithsonian Institute’s National Zoological Park, American Geological Institute, ASU’s School of Earth and Space Exploration’s Deitz Museum and Mars Education Program, with support from iRobot, Motorola, and research grants from the National Science Foundation and NASA.
The group engages children in grades K-6 in robotic pet building activities that foster their interest in STEM education. They use paper cards with compelling icons to teach robotic birds, frogs, cows and lions equipped with web cams and computer vision software how to decode the icons, and how to navigate and behave in challenging environments. Learners are also asked to “become the robots” as a naturally engaging way for them to form new hypotheses and to test and debug scenarios they construct. As pet building activities broaden the traditional scope of STEM learning, they are especially interesting to girls. Middle and high school students take the activity one step further by translating the card-based icons into functional and interactive programs. Their technical and team working skills are extended through exploration scenarios and advanced mobile gaming paradigms, such as smart classrooms configured as Astronaut Robot Mission Simulators, which allow students to “re-visit” the Apollo 15 lunar landing site, as well as visit the Mars Rover mission landing sites that have not yet been visited by humans.

Children engage in “hands-on: minds on” STEM learning and embodied play with Robotic pets in the LEGO sponsored Sprock-it project.
Robotics Camp Offers Young Students a Gateway to Higher Education in Science and Engineering ASU’s Robotics Camp is a summer program series designed for middle school and high school students who intend to pursue a science and engineering career. The camps are sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education, Intel, and the School of Computing, Informatics and Decision Systems Engineering at Arizona State University. The camp is part of the engineering school’s contribution to the national effort to interest more students in careers in science, engineering, technology and mathematics. “We are working in cooperation with the Department of Education’s goal to ensure the country produces the top scientists and engineers needed to keep the United States a leader in technological innovation and
technology development,” says Dr. Yinong Chen, a lecturer in the faculty of Computer Science and Engineering and leader of the Robotics Camp. During the camp, Chen uses the intuitive Microsoft Visual Programming Language and Robotics Studio to engage students, while teaching the latest engineering design concepts and computing technologies. Students will also work with Lego Mindstorm NXT robots, using Lego building-block logic to demystify programming and robotics. Chen explains, “We emphasize the logic rather than the syntax of the language. This program is more graphically oriented. Camp instructors use componentbased robot construction, robotics programming, Web programming, and Alice game programming as a vehicle to teach the latest engineering design concepts and computing technologies. The robots built by students will enter a robotics competition and demonstration at the end of the camp.”

STUDENT EXCELLENCE COMPUTER SCIENCE STUDENTS WIN TOP AWARD at MICROSOFT IMAGINE CUP WORLD FINALS ASU students create a device to help people with visual impairments succeed in the classroom Computer Science student David Hayden turned frustration with his visual impairment into motivation, and the result has earned an Arizona State University student research team a top prize in a major international competition for technological innovation. Hayden and team member Andrew Kelley recently returned from Warsaw, Poland, with a first-place trophy from the 2010 Imagine Cup Worldwide Finals organized by Microsoft, a global leader in computer software development and services. Overall, more than 325,000 students from more than 100 countries took part in stages of the competition leading to the finals. Some 50 student teams from around the world entered a special category of the competition that challenged them to find creative ways to use Microsoft Windows-based Tablet PCs to improve access to education. Of those 50 teams, the ASU group was one of only two whose projects earned them invitations to Warsaw to compete at the Imagine Cup finals. Hayden’s and Kelley’s presentation and demonstration of the Note-Taker, a system designed to aid the visually impaired, deeply impressed the panel of judges, said ASU research scientist John Black. Black mentored the team, which developed the Note-Taker system in the Center for Cognitive Ubiquitous Computing – known as CUbiC in the School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering.
Note-Taker Team members David Hayden & Andrew Kelley accept their 1st Place Award at the Microsoft Imagine Cup award ceremony.
The Note-Taker team, led by Hayden, includes computer science undergraduate Kelley, computer science doctoral student Mike Rush, industrial design graduate student Liqing Zhou, electrical engineering undergraduate Michael Astrauskas, and post-doctoral research associate Gaurav Padhan. Hayden realized that his visual disability was jeopardizing his pursuit of a bachelor’s degree with a dual major in computer science and mathematics. None of the commercially available assistive technologies allowed Hayden to keep up with classroom note-taking in advanced mathematics coursework, during which instructors often filled more than a dozen whiteboards with theorems and proofs in a mere 45 minutes. Left with little recourse, Hayden began working on a solution. The Note-Taker consists of a portable, custom-designed video camera and a Tablet PC. The camera is able to tilt up and down, and sweep side to side, as well as zoom in on its target. The Tablet PC provides a split-screen display. One half of the screen has a window that shows live video from the camera, while the other half has a window that is used for handwriting or typing notes. This dual-window interface allows students with visual impairment to quickly glance back and forth between the live view of the classroom whiteboard and their notes, just like their sighted peers. The video window also allows the user to aim and zoom the camera by simply dragging, tapping or pinching within the video window. Hayden says that the Note-Taker overcomes the limitations of many assistive technologies which “force students with disabilities to rely on a special classroom infrastructure, or on people who aren’t always available when the student needs assistance.” The Note-Taker solves the problem by being portable, inexpensive, small enough to fit on a typical classroom desk, and easy to set up. Hayden, who was recently awarded the National Science Foundation’s Graduate Research Fellowship, plans to pursue a Ph.D. in computer science. He says the experience with the Note-Taker has bolstered his commitment to achieving further advances in portable, wearable and prosthetic technologies that help people improve their capabilities in perception, cognition and mobility.

Production Note: Sustainability is the simple idea that, as human beings, we place a high value on our own quality of life and that of future generations. To be sustainable, our actions must reflect what is important to usqualities such as clean air, clean water, health, security and prosperity. In keeping with the spirit of ASU President Crow’s Sustainability Initiative, we are producing a more “sustainable” Annual Report. The paper we are using is highly recycled, compared to both foreign and domestic grades, and the mill at which it is produced is a “clean mill” with a sustainability charter.
