Center for Minorities in Information Processing Systems

这笔赠款为城市大学城市学院少数群体信息处理系统中心的研究和教育活动的发展提供基础设施支持。支持包括计算和VLSI实验室设备和软件、本科生和研究生助学金、教师离职时间和学生辅导。主要研究人员将从事以下方面的研究：(1)图像分析，(2)集合论信号恢复的同步投影算法，(3)自动机、群表示和傅立叶变换，(4)计算机视觉和蒙特卡罗方法的并行算法，(5)VLSI实现，(6)用于并行编程的变换核；(7)图像扭曲。教育活动包括将计算机科学第一门课程的特殊部分重组为“协作学习社区”，作为解决问题和软件设计的创新方法的一部分。

This grant provides infrastructure support for the development of the research and educational activities of the Center for Minorities in Information Processing Systems at the City College of CUNY. The support includes computing and VLSI laboratory equipment and software, undergraduate and graduate student assistantships, faculty release time, and student tutoring. The principal investigators will conduct research in (1) image analysis, (2) simultaneous projection algorithms for set-theoretic signal recovery, (3) automata, group representations, and Fourier transforms, (4) parallel algorithms for computer vision and Monte Carlo methods, (5) VLSI implementations, (6) a transformation kernel for parallel programming, and (7) image warping. Educational activities include the restructuring of special sections of the first course in computer science as "collaborative learning communities" as part of an innovative approach to problem solving and software design.//
