Cal-(IT)2 UC Irvine division presents the 2004 RESCUE SEMINAR SERIES

"Onboard Vehicle Sensor Data Stream Mining and Random Perturbation-based
Techniques"
featuring 
Hillol Kargupta
Associate Professor, Computer Science and Electrical Engineering Dept.
University of Maryland Baltimore County
http://www.cs.umbc.edu/~hillol
and
President, Agnik, LLC
Columbia, MD 21045

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2004; 432 Computer Science Building at UCI
Refreshments served at 2:00 p.m. with talk to follow

This talk will present an overview of a mobile and distributed data
stream management and mining system that allows real time vehicle-health
monitoring, driver characterization, and fleet monitoring. It will offer
the motivation behind this application, explain the system architecture,
discuss some of the challenges, and share some of the adopted solutions.
It will particularly focus on a collection of algorithmic solutions that
make use of random perturbations of data for efficient computation of
data mining primitives in a resource-constrained environment with
limited computing power and restricted wireless bandwidth for
communication. It will discuss the algorithmic solutions, offer
experimental results documenting their performance, and point toward
some intriguing properties of random perturbations in the context of
computing functions.

Hillol Kargupta is an Associate Professor at the Department of Computer
Science and Electrical Engineering, University of Maryland Baltimore
County. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1996. He is also a co-founder of AGNIK
LLC, a ubiquitous data intelligence company. His research interests
include mobile and distributed data mining and computation in gene
expression.

Dr. Kargupta won a National Science Foundation CAREER award in 2001 for
his research on ubiquitous and distributed data mining. He along with
his co-authors received the best paper award in the 2003 IEEE
International Conference on Data Mining for a paper on
privacy-preserving data mining. He won the 2000 TRW Foundation Award and
the 1997 Los Alamos Award for Outstanding Technical Achievement. His
dissertation earned him the 1996 Society for Industrial and Applied
Mathematics (SIAM) annual best student paper prize.

He has published more than eighty peer-reviewed articles in journals,
conferences, and books. He is an associate editor of the IEEE
Transactions on Systems, Man, Cybernetics, Part B. He served as the
Associate General Chair of the 2003 ACM SIGKDD Conference. He is also
the Program Co-Chair of the 2005 SIAM Data Mining Conference. He has
co-edited two books: (1) "Advances in Distributed and Parallel Knowledge
Discovery", AAAI/MIT Press, and (2)" Data Mining: Next Generation
Challenges and Future Directions" by AAAI/MIT Press. He in the program
committee of almost every major data mining conference (e.g. ACM, IEEE,
SIAM). He has been a member of the organizing committee of the SIAM data
mining conference every year from 2001 until 2005. He hosted many
workshops and journal special issues on distributed data mining and
other related topics. He regularly serves as an invited speaker in many
international conference
