| Frontiers of Technology |  From Dinosaurs to Birds
Experts in bioinformatics at UCSD have co-authored with other scientists the first large-scale comparison of mammal and bird genomes, published in the December 9 edition of Nature. The journal's cover story includes a draft sequence of the chicken genome assembled and analyzed by members of the International Chicken Genome Sequencing Consortium. The chicken genome provides several firsts: it is the first bird, the first agricultural animal, and the first descendant of the dinosaurs to have its genome sequenced. The consortium confirmed that humans and chickens share more than half of their genes, but their DNA sequences diverge in ways that may explain some of the important differences between birds and mammals. Says CSE Professor Pavel Pevzner whom has worked on the sequencing project, "We might infer that those that were most in common were probably there at some ancestral point".

Tadayoshi Kohno, Ph.D. graduate student and computer security expert in CSE who has analyzed the software of one of the most popular touch-screen voting machines says election officials should regard any touch-screen machine that operates suspiciously on Tuesday as part of a "crime scene" to be investigated by computer forensics experts. Kohno testified in July before the U.S. House of Representative's Committee on House Administration that the current generation of paperless electronic voting machines should not be used in an election. A study by Election Data Services Inc., of voting equipment used by election jurisdictions across the United States found that as many as 50 million registered voters are expected to cast ballots on electronic equipment during Tuesday's election.

The National Science Foundation has awarded a five-year $1.3 million Information Technology Research (ITR) grant to CSE Professor Fan Chung Graham to derive the analytical tools needed by organizations that rely on the Internet for eCommerce, database sharing, searching, or other activities broadly defined as interactive computing. Networked computers continually share information with one another, and users become aware of reliability issues only when systems fail. One of the most challenging problems that Graham will address is how to analyze networks that are changing dynamically while relying only on partial information. They hope to effectively model complex behaviors in a variety of ways, such as exploiting the discovery that realistic networks have power law degree distributions. The ITR grant to Graham is one of six totaling more than $9 million to UCSD faculty in 2004, the fifth and final year of the ITR program, which has committed a total of more than $1 billion to innovative, high-payoff research and education.

[full story] | | CSE Grad Student Yu-Chung Cheng Monkey's Around
During an internship with Google, CSE graduate student Yu-Chung Cheng worked on a project that has helped to create an open-source tool designed to better predict the effect on real-world Web site performance if changes are made to things like network infrastructure. Called Monkey, the tool first captures data from actual client sessions, inferring various network and client conditions -- what its creators call the "monkey see" portion of its work. It then attempts to emulate those conditions for server tests -- a process called "monkey do."
"Monkey is aimed at helping to solve the dilemma of Web testing. Often trying out network or server changes on even a small portion of actual user traffic is risky, but simulations are often unrealistic because they don't accurately reflect users' network conditions" said Yu-Chung Cheng.

| | | Faculty and Student Accomplishments |  CSE Professor and Student Improving WiFi Roaming
CSE graduate student Ishwar Ramani and his advisor Stefan Savage recently demonstrated a technique to dramatically reduce the time for Wi-Fi devices to switch between access points. The basic approach, a patent-pending algorithm called SyncScan, allows Wi-Fi clients to continuously monitor the proximity of nearby access points by carefully synchronizing the time at which management packets are received. Thus, when a client leaves the range of one access point, it can seamlessly switch to another without enduring the lengthy scanning delay of current Wi-Fi clients. This allows highly interactive applications, such as Voice-Over-IP (VOIP), to experience continuous connectivity even while mobile. To read the article in Technology Report.com click here.

This will be UCSD's fifth appearance at the World Finals in the past six years. The UCSD Rock team includes William Matthews, Michael Vrable and Kevin Lee. Their team came in second at the Southern California regional programming trials last month, having completed the same number of problems as the top-ranked Caltech team (five), but took slightly longer to solve them. That was close enough to earn the team a wild-card slot in the World Finals. The UCSD team is one of the only 76 teams out of 4,100 worldwide to advance to the 2005 ACM-ICPC World Finals sponsored by IBM and hosted by Shanghai Jiaotong University.
