Research in Computer Science Seminar


Umberto Boccioni, Elasticity

Umberto Boccioni
Elasticity


The Research in Computer Science Seminar (RICSS) allows Allegheny College students and faculty members to explore research ideas within the discipline of computer science. The seminar holds bi-weekly meetings during which one presentation is given. The informal presentations are designed to support the discussion and generation of new research ideas. Presentations can include examinations of: (i) established ideas that have been evaluated, (ii) tentative ideas that need further refinement, and (iii) research conducted by other computer scientists and published in papers or Web sites. During the academic year, meetings are normally scheduled for Friday at 12:15. On some weeks special lunch foods and/or desserts will be provided.

Fall 2009 Presentations

   
  • October 1, 2009 (Announcement Poster)

    Ahmad Douglas: Cyber Security, Information Assurance, and Information Warfare


    In this presentation, we will explore internship and full-time employment opportunities at Los Alamos National Laboratory, one of the United States' premier multi-disciplinary scientific research laboratories. Our primary focus will be careers in computer science, with a special look at emerging opportunities in cyber security, information assurance, and information warfare.

    Radu Creanga and Robert S. Roos: Points of Interest Along the Santa Fe Ant Trail


    Genetic Programming (GP) is a technique for evolving populations of computer programs using principles of natural selection. One famous benchmark of GP performance involves finding a program to control an artificial ant to maximize its food-gathering abilities within a fixed domain. Grammatical Evolution (GE) is a form of grammar-based genetic programming. Our primary interest in GE lies in the realm of generative and developmental systems. Since GE is based on grammars we are hoping to use a grammatical structure called an L-system to develop techniques that will allow us to generalize solutions to ant problems to make them scale to domains of many different sizes.
