AI, AIBO and ART: Inspiring Interaction with Computer Science

The field of human-robot interaction (HRI) is growing due to the availability of cost effective robots that can be employed for research and in education. Robots, like the Sony Aibo, can capture the imagination of the public. Being a robot dog encourages human interaction, which is relatively intuitive. To better understand human-robot interaction, HRI projects were included into undergraduate ...

The Gatsby Plant Science Summer School: inspiring the next generation of plant science researchers.

We provide evidence from a 5-year study to show that a single concerted effort at the start of undergraduate study can have a clear and lasting effect on the attitudes of students toward plant science. Attendance at a week-long residential plant science summer school in the first year of an undergraduate degree resulted in many students changing courses to include more plant science and increas...

Building a Diverse and Innovative Workforce

PAPI is a widely used portable library for accessing hardware counters on modern microprocessors. PAPI offers both counting and sampling interfaces, but the sampling interface is extremely limited, consisting of a simple interrupt-driven interface that can periodically report processor state. In the past few years, the hardware and operating systems of modern processors have added support for n...
