演講題目：A Random Walk of Network Science Research: Sub-modularity, Large Graphs Computation and File System Support

演  講  者：Prof. John C.S. Lui (Department of Computer Science & Engineering, the Chinese University of Hong Kong)

時　　間：2017/11/9 (Thu) 10:30~12:00

地　　點：清華大學台達館 304室 (Delta Building R304)

ABSTRACT

In the first part of the talk, I will provide some motivation of some network science research problems, in particular, I will talk about how one can combine theory of sub-modularity and probabilistic counting data structures to information discovery and computation on large graphs.  I will also discuss how one should re-design the file system support so as to provide a more efficient computation on network science problems.  In the last part of my talk, I will briefly go over the School of Engineering at CUHK, as well as possibilities of students exchange, post-doc possibilities and short term visiting program for visiting professors from Taiwan. 

BIOGRAPHY

John C.S. Lui is currently the Choh-Ming Li Chair Professor in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from UCLA.  His current research interests are in network sciences which have large data implications, machine learning on large data analytics, network/system security, network economics, cloud computing, large scale distributed systems and performance evaluation theory. John is currently the senior editor in the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, and has been serving in the editorial board of ACM Transactions on Modeling and Performance Evaluation of Computing Systems, IEEE Transactions on Network Science & Engineering, IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing, IEEE Transactions on Computers, IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, Journal of Performance Evaluation.  John served as the chairman of the CSE Department from 2005-2011. He received various departmental teaching awards and the CUHK Vice-Chancellor‘s Exemplary Teaching Award. John also received the CUHK Faculty of Engineering Research Excellence Award (2011-2012). John is a co-recipient of the best paper award in the IFIP WG 7.3 Performance 2005, IEEE/IFIP NOMS 2006, SIMPLEX 2013, and ACM RecSys 2017. He is an elected member of the IFIP WG 7.3, Fellow of ACM, Fellow of IEEE, Senior Research Fellow of the Croucher Foundation and was the past chair of the ACM SIGMETRICS (2011-2015). His personal interests include films and general reading. Links: http://www.cse.cuhk.edu.hk/~cslui
