DCU Research News on ODCSSS: An Online Dublin Computer Science Summer School (Odysseus) will run for a period of 12 weeks from June to August in both UCD and DCU. This is a paid internship programme designed for undergraduate students to experience and participate in ongoing world class IT research. This project is a Science Foundation Ireland funded Undergraduate Research Experience & Knowledge Site (UREKA).
Aaron Quigley will be taking over from Henry McLoughlin as the Director of the Higher Diploma in Computer Science in Computer Science and Informatics.
Aaron Quigley is the Program Chair for the IBM CAS Software and Systems Engineering Symposium 2007 (Dublin Ireland). This is the third annual IBM Dublin CAS research symposia organised as a multi-track single day event on October 24th 2007. This symposium is organised in association with CASCON 2007 the 17th Annual International Conference on Computer Science and Software Engineering (http://www.ibm.com/ibm/cas/cascon/dublin_track.shtml) and in cooperation with Lero, the Irish Software Engineering Research Center (http://www.lero.ie).
We have moved to the new Complex & Adaptive Systems Laboratory along with 22 PIs in the first phase of its development. This lab brings together academics from the schools of Business, Computer Science and Informatics, Electrical, Electronic & Mechanical Engineering, Geological Sciences and Mathematical Sciences and the Conway Institute. We also now have 118 postgrads and postdocs and two administrators here in CASL.
We won the Best Paper award for “Visualisation Techniques to Support Derivation Tasks in Software Product Line Development” authored by Nestor D., O’Malley L., Healy P., Quigley A., Thiel S., at the IBM CAS Software and Systems Engineering Symposium 2007.
The IBM Centre for Advanced Studies Dublin Symposium 2007 Wednesday on October 24th 2007 was organised in association with CASCON 2007, the 17th Annual International Conference on Computer Science and Software Engineering (http://witanweb.ca/cascon2007/), and in cooperation with Lero, the Irish Software Engineering Research Center ( http://www.lero.ie).
The IBM CAS Software and Systems Engineering Symposium 2007 featured a keynote presentation from Professor Stefan Decker, DERI, research papers, a research panel on Sustainablility and Technology – Good partners? as a shared session (video conference) with CASCON 2007 in Canada, a research poster session and a capstone talk from Dr Steven Collins of Trinity College Dublin. The technical papers program featured original, internationally peer- reviewed research papers in the area of Software and Systems Engineering.
Received a very competitive Undergraduate Research Experience & Knowledge Award (UREKA) from the Science Foundation Ireland for ODCSSS with DCU. This award, worth in excess of €300,000 will fund many undergraduate research projects based on the research efforts of the 20 academic applicants and grant co-applicants from 2007 – 2009.
VGV Graduate Programme in Visualisation, Graphics and Vision research and exploratory visits to NICTA (Australia), University of Sydney and the NII Tokyo Japan.
I even got to meet up with one of my former student Taiki Imoto from Hizen-Cho Saga Japan who I taught when he was just 15 and now he is 27! I’m now officially old and here are some photos from my time in Japan in 1995.
Invited to join the Program Committee for both The Seventh IEEE International Conference on Peer-to-Peer Computing (P2P 2007) and The Ninth International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing (UBICOMP 2007)
I am one of the lead applicants for a UREKA SFI grant request submitted to the SFI. This grant, if successful, will see me become the UCD director for ODCSSS from 2007 – 2009.
