Computing Research Association SUMMER 2006 RESEARCH INTERNSHIPS for Women (Posted 1/9/06) The CRA-W DMP is a highly selective program that matches promising undergraduate women with a faculty mentor for a summer research experience at the faculty member's home institution. This experience is invaluable for students who are considering graduate school, providing them with a close-up view of what graduate school is really like and also increasing their competitiveness as an applicant for graduate admissions and fellowships. On-line Applications for students and mentors for Summer 2006, more information about the DMP including webpages by previous DMP students: http://cra.org/Activities/craw/dmp/ Deadline for Summer 2006 Program: February 15, 2006 Funding for the student consists of $6000 for the summer (10 weeks), plus relocation travel assistance when appropriate. Mentors may receive a modest honorarium. Additional funds may be available to support student conference travel, either during the summer or afterward, and for outreach activities promoting the DMP. Cost sharing by faculty mentors: The number of students interested in the DMP program has increased substantially over the last several years and many qualified students have not been selected due to lack of funding. To enable more students to participate, faculty are now encouraged to provide funds to support (partially or fully) student stipends; the DMP will continue to provide travel support for all students. (Due to the potential for a real or perceived conflict of interest, mentors who provide funds are not eligible for the honorarium for that student.) Note for male faculty: Male faculty are also encouraged to apply as mentors - men have been serving as DMP mentors since the summer 2004 program. Based on the number of mentor applications typically received from female faculty, and the documented benefits of female role models, most DMP funds will be allocated to female mentors. Hence, it is anticipated that male mentors will provide full funding for their students' stipends (the program will provide travel support). For more information about the DMP consult the DMP webpages http://cra.org/Activities/craw/dmp/ or contact the DMP Co-Coordinators at dmp at cs.tamu.edu Nancy Amato, Professor, Texas A&M University Co-Coordinator, CRA-W Distributed Mentor Project Jessica Hodgins, Professor, Carnegie Mellon University Co-Coordinator, CRA-W Distributed Mentor Project The Computing Research Association (CRA, http://cra.org) is an association of more than 180 North American academic departments of computer science and computer engineering; laboratories and centers in industry, government, and academia engaging in basic computing research; and affiliated professional societies.

IAP/Spring UROPs CSAIL Roofnet Project, Wireless Mesh Networks, (2 openings) (Posted 1/8/06) The Roofnet project is looking for two UROP students to help build interfaces for managing and monitoring community wireless mesh networks. The ideal candidates are students who enjoy hacking and are interested building production-quality software for everyday people to use. This software will be deployed on dozens of networks around the world, and will be included on the millions of laptops as part of the $100 laptop project. The first opening is to help develop a database-backed statistics server and web interface. Our central server collects statistics from thousands of Roofnet nodes around the world, so we'd like to build a web interface that provides network-wide views of links, routes, usage patters, etc. The server should also have an exposed API so others can contribute their own views. Applicants should be familiar with Perl, Python or Ruby, and preferrably have experience building database-backed websites. This project could lead to future research opportunities involving network-level analysis of wireless mesh networks. The second opening is for a student to help build the configuration interface that runs on each Roofnet node, and to design and implement a flooding protocol for distributing configuration information and software updates. This software will interact closely with the routing layer and underlying OS, so applicants should be familiar with C/C++ and Linux kernel hacking. This project is a great way to get started with wireless network protocol development. Both positions are available immediately, and we prefer students with a long term interest in the project. Applicants should email Sanjit Biswas (biswas at csail.mit.edu) with an informal resume. 15. IAP/Spring UROP, Wireless Sensing, Responsive Environment Group at Media Lab Faculty Supervisor: Prof. Joe Paradiso (Posted 1/6/06) Stack: A Modular Platform for High Density Wireless Sensing This is a great opportunity for someone interested in wireless sensing to learn about an existing platform hands-on and then improve it. While short term needs are fixed, the long-term direction of the project can be dictated by the interests of the student. The goal of this project is to provide a simple modular framework for compact wireless sensing. This platform is based around a series of circuit boards (or panes), each of which instantiates a specific sensing modality. This will allow faster prototyping by encapsulating design knowledge (such as RF) and repeated circuit structures (such as microcontrollers) in a single package which can be used in many different types of projects. As opposed to similar architectures, this system treats the sensor panes as discrete design objects that have data collection as their primary purpose. The project is currently being revamped to include significant additional functionality. In the short term, sensor-by-sensor power switching and measurement will be added to all boards and boards featuring a cell phone camera and flash memory data collection need to be implemented. Medium term goals include plug-and-play functionality, automatic code generation and increases in the processing power of the individual nodes. Potential long term directions include new sensing functionality, construction techniques and networking modes. Prerequisites: - -Self-starter with hardware design/layout experience - -Knowledge of Protel (or similar circuit layout software) - -Knowledge of microcontroller programming (8051/MSP430 a plus) - -10+ hours a week commitment Contact: Email: Ari Benbasat: ayb at media.mit.edu Stack Web Page: http://www.media.mit.edu/resenv/Stack/ Short paper on Stack: http://www.media.mit.edu/~ayb/ipsn05.pdf 16.

We have a range of interesting projects starting in IAP, related to wearable devices, smart objects, intimate interfaces, mobile phones, and ubiquitous computing. You must have enough time to dig in and make a contribution, and a willingness to be very hands-on and learn on-the-go. For seniors, some of the projects we have in the works could become a AUP, and in general can continue throughout the spring term. We are looking for undergraduate UROPs to help us out in the following areas: - hardware and firmware (analog, digital, microcontroller programming) design and development - software (on the computer, and on mobile phones) - physical construction (prototyping/building with plastic, metal, and other materials) Are you interested, or do you know someone who might be? Please send an email asap with resume/relevant experience to: dmerrill at media.mit.edu, sajid at media.mit.edu, and enrico at media.mit.edu. MIT Media Lab dmerrill at media.mit.edu 23. IAP/Spring UROP Program Analysis Group at CSAIL, Java Programming (Posted 12/15/05) The Program Analysis Group (http://pag.csail.mit.edu/) at CSAIL has a for-pay UROP opening for a skilled Java programmer to help extend our dynamic invariant detection tool (http://pag.csail.mit.edu/daikon/) We are interested in extending our tool work with larger and more complex programs. A particular interest is in creating output that is helpful to programmers in their normal development process. Larger programs contain more variables and program points. Each of these increases Daikon's time and memory requirements. They also increase the number of invariants detected and printed. Creating too many invariants makes it difficult for programmers to find the invariants of interest and makes use of the tool unappealing. We have a variety of improvements in mind (some are infrastructure and others are directly related to the problems) and also are looking for new ideas for improvements. Daikon is implemented in Java. A firm grasp of Java is a must. Most qualified students will have successfully completed 6.170, but relevant practical experience would also be very valuable. There is the potential for UAP and M.Eng. projects to arise from this experience, so the idea candidate should be willing to consider a long-term commitment starting during IAP or Spring 2006. If you are interested, please contact Jeff Perkins jhp at csail.mit.edu. 24. IAP/Spring UROP Programming for Sorger Biology Lab (Posted 12/15/05) Seeking one UROP for IAP with continuation into spring 06 term The Sorger lab is looking for an undergraduate with programming skills to track cell divisions and cell deaths in live-cell movies. The goal is to automate scoring of the movies to study cell-to-cell variability in the timing of cancer cell death. We are interested in understanding why, in a genomically homogeneous clonal cell population, there exists great heterogeneity in the waiting time until cell death after exposure to a death ligand. A systematic study of the variability in life-or-death outcome in cancer cell populations may contribute toward enabling these death ligands to be developed into novel anti-cancer agents. The UROP would work closely with one Systems Biology PhD student and two Computer Science Masters students to complete this project over IAP. Related future projects could be discussed at that time. Required background: - - -Experience with Matlab Recommended: - - -Software development experience (6.170, java/c++/perl) - - -7.012 (introduction to biology) or equivalent - - -6.034 (AI) or equivalent contact: Sabrina L Spencer, spencers AT mit.edu 25. Space Grant Internships at NASA, JPL, Lunar and Planetary institute and Langley (Posted 12/14/05) The MA Space Grant Consortium is offering opportunities for summer internships. Please check the websites below for further information and applications. 1. 2006 NASA Summer Programs including NASA Academies, Student Internships at Goddard and a Faculty Program.

Lunar and Planetary Institute's undergraduate Summer Intern Program. Applications are due January 20, 2006, and must be submitted electronically via: http://www.lpi.usra.edu/lpiintern 4. Langley Aerospace Reserach Summer Scholars (LARSS) Program: For information and application please visit the LARSS website: http://edu.larc.nasa.gov/larss/ 26. IAP/Spring UROP CSAIL's Program Analysis Group - Compilers (Posted 12/10/05) CSAIL's Program Analysis Group has several research opportunities related to compilers. These positions would start in IAP and have the potential to continue through the summer and beyond, culminating in a UAP or MEng thesis. * The Java annotation system permits annotation of declarations; this is insufficient for certain uses (for instance, type system extensions), so we propose that annotations should be able to be applied to any use of a type. Unlike the current system, annotations could be placed on casts, the implicit "this" parameter, and generic type parameters, and bytecode would record (not discard) annotations on local variables. This proposal requires changes to the javac compiler. Sun has expressed interest in incorporating such changes in the Java language, and many other researchers are also eager for such extensions, so the potential impact is large. * The Javari language extends Java with reference immutability, which guarantees that a particular reference cannot be used to modify its referent. You can think of this as "const" for Java, though the semantics are different than those of C's "const" (which is unsound, not transitive through pointers, and has various other problems). Our prototype implementation was easy to use, improved documentation, and helped programmers to find and prevent bugs. We are enhancing the language and building a new type-checker, a type inference system (for translating Java code to Javari), and a code generator for the language, so there are a variety of interesting design and implementation projects. * We have built a new, open-source framework for dynamic (run-time) analysis of x86 binaries, such as profiling and related tools. We have two existing tools built on the framework and are looking for someone to write several more dynamic analyses. Another related project is performing load-time static optimization of the instrumentation code, which can sometimes impose high overheads. * We have built a C/C++ source code instrumentation system on top of the commercial EDG and Purify tools, and it is being used by some commercial users. The system needs a variety of new features and enhancements, so we are looking for someone who understands the C and C++ languages well, can come up to speed on new tools, and is interested in source-to-source compiler transformations. * We would like to integrate testing and program analysis tools (for the Java language) with the Eclipse framework. As an example, fast regression testing requires analysis of which parts of a program have changed, and what the implications of those changes are. If you are interested in learning more about, or participating in, these projects, please contact me. (We also have several non-compiler-related projects available.) Candidates should have received an A in 6.170; 6.035 is helpful but not required. -Michael Ernst mernst at csail.mit.edu - -- Michael Ernst, Associate Professor, MIT EECS, MIT CSAIL (CS & AI Laboratory) 32 Vassar Street, Cambridge, MA, 02139, 617-253-0945 mernst at csail.mit.edu http://pag.csail.mit.edu/~mernst 27.

IAP/Spring UROP Media Lab's Human Dynamics Group I'm seeking a UROP to work for credit or pay in the Media Lab's Human Dynamics group. My projects focus on using speech analysis to infer high-level social signals. Can you tell just from someone's voice and speaking patterns whether he is charismatic? Whether she is lying? We use cutting-edge software developed here at the Media Lab to derive these and other social characteristics. Your responsibilities will vary based on skill and interests, ranging from conducting speech experiments to processing audio with our current tools to writing C code to run speech analysis in real time. Aside from the ability to learn quickly, strong candidates will have good programming skills and be capable of independent work. Experience with C or MATLAB preferred. Some knowledge of statistics and signal processing a plus. Interest in mobile platform development a plus. Position available for IAP, continuing into Spring for promising candidates. Contact me, Will Stoltzman, at will_s at media.mit.edu about the position. Please include brief background or resume. 29. Research Internships in Science and Engineering in Germany (Posted 12/7/05) Im writing to let you know that the database of internship offers for the RISE (Research Internships in Science and Engineering) program is now online. As you may know, the program offers undergraduates the opportunity to work on cutting-edge research projects this summer at some of the top research institutions (e.g., Max-Planck-Institutes) and universities in Germany. Students are paired with German PhD students and this unique mentoring partnership ensures immediate integration into the work in the lab, a built-in social network, and an excellent opportunity to develop new technical skills. You can find first-hand accounts by engineering students who participated in the RISE program last year at http://www.daad.de/rise/en/2.4.html. The close to 400 different projects offered this year cover a vast spectrum of research areas in biology, chemistry, physics, earth science, and engineering. 142 of the available internships this year are in engineering fields including mechanical, chemical, civil, and software. Detailed project descriptions and application materials are available online at http://www.daad.de/RISE and applications are due February 1, 2006. Each student can apply for up to 3 different internships and we will be able to provide up to 150 scholarships which include a monthly allowance, health and accident insurance, as well as in-country support by our Bonn headquarters. We would be very grateful if you would help us promote this unique research abroad opportunity at your institution and have included a flyer which can be easily forwarded to faculty, study abroad officers, or potential applicants. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions at rise at daad.de. We thank you very much for your support and hope to see your students in Germany next summer! Sincerely yours, Megan Brenn-White Deputy Director DAAD New York 871 United Nations Plaza New York, NY 10017 Tel: (212) 758-3223 ext. 208 Fax: (212) 755-5780 Email: mbrennwhite at daad.org 30. IAP/Spring UROPs Institute for Learning and Memory - 2 Positions: Simulation and MEMS (Posted 12/7/05) The Wilson Lab in the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory is looking for up to two IAP and spring UROPs for the following projects. If you're interested please contact Eric Jonas, jonas at mwl.mit.edu 1. DSP/assembly/simulation in Python We've developed a suite of in-house tools for the simulation and testing of code for our new data acquisition system, based around the ADSP-21262 floating-point DSP from analog devices, all in python. Anyone who loved 6.004, dreams of register machines, or has a particular affection for Python would probably enjoy working on this tool suite. We still need to develop regression tests, design and implement a GUI, and write several peripherals for the device. Time would be 30 hr/week during IAP and then maybe 10 per term. This is a great way to get a crash-course in modern hardware-accelerated signal processing! 2. MEMS, mice, and mechanics -- tracking animal behavior in real-time We do experiments with rodents -- classic rats-in-mazes stuff, although we also record from hundreds of neurons simultaneously, attempting to analyze data in real time. If our spatial data is poor, it doesn't matter how good our neural data is. We've always tracked them with head-mounted LEDs, and an overhead camera, but that limits our spatial resolution (the camera resolution is low) and temporal resolution (camera's framerate is 100 Hz). We're looking for a student who would be interested in helping us develop a MEMS accelerometer-and-gyroscope-based package to fill in the gaps. Working on this UROP you would get to design the hardware, the software, the algorithms -- everything from the ground up to let us have sub-millisecond millimeter resolution. The implementation technique would be largely up to you: DSPs, FPGAs, 8051s, anything that you're familiar with. Someone with background in 6.002-6.004 would probably have the right set of skills necessary to pull this off. About the Wilson Lab: We work with an exciting mix of people with backgrounds in courses 6, 7, 8, 9, and 18 to understand how neural systems perform computation. We use both experiment (recording from many cells at once) and theoretical techniques to understand learning, spatial memory, and REM/sleep activity. We also have a lot of fun in the process. If you're interested in doing course-six stuff with an application to signal theory, biology, and long-term clinical impact, send an e-mail to jonas at mwl.mit.edu.
