Show more“Over the last few years there has been an explosion of different websites that allow average person to contribute different content such as pictures, comments, stories and reviews about places around them. While there are many companies that focus on aggregating such data into common stream - complexity of interpreting such data in a meaningful actionable way remains a challenge for many companies including NAVTEQ.” [Appendix B] Identify new content from real time feeds which include 1. Points of Interest and their attribution (e.g. Hours of Operation, Languages Spoken at locale, etc…) 2. Any associated content (e.g. events, relationships to other Points of Interest (e.g. same owner, etc…) Create visualizations based on this content - some basic examples could include 1. Hot/Not So Hot real estate areas (new construction, sales) based on agent and broker social media updates 2. High/Low crime areas based on social media stream 3. Hot/Not city zones based on number of people tweeting/updating Facebook/checking in/etc… in certain areas, parties, POIs.

Show more1048 million gallons of water is used in Chicago everyday. Chicago replenishes almost none of it. Although there is no water shortage currently, many believe that water will be to the next century what oil is to this century: a huge commodity. Twenty percent of the world's potable water is contained in the Great Lakes. In order to be responsible consumers of this natural resource, Chicago is looking into different plans to return water to Lake Michigan. The purpose of Growing Water IPRO is to create a prototype of an Eco-boulevard on the IIT campus that will serve as an example of practices that could be implemented across the Chicago-land area to manage and naturally purify storm water and sewage water so it can be reintroduced to Lake Michigan. These Eco-boulevards will also serve as educational facilities to inform the community about the growing scarcity of water and how to conserve this precious resource.

The problem with this medium is users cannot comment on particular scenes within the videos and there is no method of searching for specific content within the videos. The team proposes to develop a system that will allow users to make fine-grained comments on scenes within the video and then to use these comments to aid in search within videos.

Show moreThe IPRO team was successful in designing a process that converts biomass into liquid fuels for transportation. The biomass chosen was cow manure because of two main reasons. The abundance of cows in southern Wisconsin provides an ideal place for the process to be built. Also, because most other types of potential biomasses currently have uses, manure was favorable. The process was split into three sections: gasification, gas clean-up and Fischer-Tropsch (FT) reactor.

Show moreWe would like to develop a system that measures the applied torque at a bicycle crank set. In contrast to current solutions, we want to be able to retrofit our system to existing crank sets, obviating the need to abandon parts that the bicyclist already owns. In principle, according to preliminary tests performed at the MMAE department, this can be done using sets of quite inexpensive strain gauges. However, being able to get accurate torque measurements will require some advanced processing of signals from the strain gauges. These signals can then be transmitted wirelessly to a bicycle computer like the Edge 705 that the global positioning system corporation Garmin released this spring. There is a defined wireless protocol, called ANT+Sport, which has been developed specifically for the purpose of transmitting exercise data, such as power output or heart rate, to small computers. Chipsets and development kits for this protocol are also available commercially. Therefore, our task will be to find an optimal configuration of strain gauges that will be attached to the crank set, and to develop an algorithm to process the strain gauge data in order to isolate a signal that is proportional to the applied torque. This signal will then be transmitted to the bicycle computer for display and storage

Show moreThe purpose of this IPRO is to develop a robust, working prototype that can automatically monitor and detect a problem with a milling machine at A. FInkl & Sons Co. This IPRO is in its fourth semester and there are two challenges remaining: (1) alerting management to the detection of broken teeth during machining; and (2) developing spatial representations of items undergoing heat treatment. However, A. Finkl & Sons has asked us to concentrate solely on the goal of finding a way to detect when a break occurs in one of the milling teeth and then alert the mechanic monitoring the machine in order to replace it. This system will involve measuring vibrations using an accelerometer or by the use of laser detection. The goal of this IPRO is to research, test, and inform A. FInkl & Sons of the best solution to invest in, therefore they can decide what is better for their company.

Show moreIn the field of high performance computing (HPC), batch scheduling plays a critical role. They determine when and how to process the various jobs waiting for service. Conventional batch schedulers allocate user jobs solely based on their CPU footprints. However, for a given user job, it requires many different resources during its execution, such as power, network, I/O bandwidth, etc. Today’s job schedulers rarely take into account these resource requirements which sometimes turn out to be the Achilles’ heel of system-wide performance. In this research, we propose a multi-dimensional batch scheduling framework for high-end supercomputers. Our research aims to treat these common but often ignored resources (e.g., power, network, bandwidth) as schedulable resource and further transform each scheduling into a multi-objective optimization process. Our main contributions consist of a set of scheduling models and policies, aiming at addressing the issues in batch scheduling for large-scale production supercomputers. We evaluate our design by means of trace-based simulations using real workload and performance traces from production systems. Experimental results show our methods can effectively improve batch scheduling regarding user satisfaction, system performance and operating cost.
