Chess Seminar Goals
The objective of each seminar is to motivate others to understand the
research topic. This should be done in a deep enough way to encourage
understanding of its technical and scientific merits, but on a high-enough
level such that non-technical audience members are not distracted by
esoteric nuances of the topic. At the end of a presentation, each audience
member should have a capability to explain the contributions of the
presentation topic to Chess's goals.
About the audience
The members of Chess are dispersed across several distinct groups working
under different research supervisors. Research topics, while generally in
embedded systems, concentrate in areas such as control, software
development, chipset architectures, computational techniques, and
actor-oriented modeling.
The range of technical proficiency in each of these topics is also quite
varied, with most participants holding at least a Bachelor's Degree in EE
(rarely, ME) or CS. Audience members will be graduate students, postdocs,
professors, and research staff, who will each participate in research in
diverse ways (e.g., writing code, proving system stability, or managing the
research of others).
About the Chess message
Chess is dedicated to the development of model-based and tool-supported
design methodologies for real-time fault tolerant software on heterogeneous
distributed platforms. Its objective is to bridge the gap between computer
science and systems science by developing the foundations of a modern
systems science that is simultaneously computational and physical. This
represents a major departure from the current, separated structure of
computer science (CS), computer engineering (CE), and electrical engineering
(EE): it reintegrates information and physical sciences.
About the Chess seminar series
Current research in embedded systems is emerging from diverse areas, and a
Chess goal is to begin to merge some of these techniques. The Chess seminar
series provides a weekly forum for the problems and solutions found and
solved by Chess members, as well as ongoing research updates. This forum
works best when the audience is diverse in background, because the goal is
to aid researchers in seeing how the other sub-disciplines are approaching
similar problems, or to encourage them to work on problems they had not yet
considered.
