Aarti Munjal (Colorado School of Mines): "Improving the Credibility of Simulation-based Research in Mobile Ad hoc Networks"

Everybody is cordially invited to attend.

Abstract: My dissertation focuses on improving the credibility of simulation-based research in mobile ad hoc networks. Specifically, we have developed tools that will help researchers perform credible simulations and, thus, lead to a more rigorous evaluation of the routing protocols. A part of my doctoral research is dedicated to modeling human walk patterns in a realistic manner. In this talk, I will provide an overview of the tools developed as part of my dissertation. At Deutsche Telekom, I am working on a multi-sensor based gestural interaction framework to control a smart system (e..g, a smart TV console). The work I do for my internship is fun and helps me connect with an advanced usage of technology. Thus, I will provide an overview of my contributions in the gestural interaction framework being developed under the supervision of Dr. Hamed Ketabdar, my advisor at T-labs.
