CISE Hosts International Symposium on Control of Network Systems
Attendees Celebrate New IEEE Journal Edited by ENG’s Paschalidis Microbes are all around us—even inside us—and that’s a good thing. Left alone, these tiny organisms have a huge impact on everything from human health to wastewater treatment. But with a little engineering, they could do even more. In certain environments, their metabolic processes could be […]
Designing an Intelligent Urban Ecosystem
BU leads collaboration to make public services “smarter” by Rich Barlow (BU Today) BU faculty, with help from business and government partners, will develop cloud computing–based services and products to solve urban problems ranging from traffic congestion to dirty air with a grant from the National Science Foundation(NSF). The effort, called SCOPE (Smart-city Cloud-based Open Platform […]

Mark Crovella and Evimaria Terzi awarded NSF grant
Professors Mark Crovella (PI) and Evimaria Terzi (co-PI) of the Computer Science Department received a National Science Foundation award entitled “Structural Matrix Completion for Data Mining Applications.” Congratulations to Mark and Evimaria! Abstract A common problem arising in science and engineering is that a dataset may only be partially measured. Often the complete dataset is […]
Reducing Highway Congestion thru Software
Belta to Co-Lead $1 Million Study Traffic congestion is a waste not only of time, but also of energy and money. In 2011, it caused Americans in metropolitan areas to spend 5.5 billion extra hours on the road and pump 2.9 billion extra gallons of fuel into their gas tanks, with associated costs reaching $121 […]
