Vic DiCiccio has beenÌýdesignated an Honorary Member of the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ at the 2019 Fall Convocation for hisÌýoutstanding service to the University.
Ìýrecently joined the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science as an Assistant Professor. His research interests are in software engineering and programming languages. His work focuses on techniques, tools and methodologies for improving software quality and developers’ productivity.Ìý
Researchers have developed a powerful new tool that allows programmers to engage with work on their mobile devices to help make productive use of time away from their workplace.
In a new study done in collaboration with Microsoft Research, the team of researchers created a prototype tool called Mercury that lets programmers continue working on their mobile devices if they need to leave their deskÌýto pick up when they return to their workstation. Currently, programmers often spend a substantial amount of time at their primary workstation to make productive use of their workdays.
Each year, theÌýCheriton Research Symposium concludes with aÌýposter session for Cheriton Graduate Scholarship recipients. In total, 23 students participated in the 2019 Cheriton Research SymposiumÌýposter competition.
Melissa McCorriston has received aÌýÌýfrom theÌý. These $17,500 scholarships recognize promising scholars and researchers in Ontario and support their further studies in a top provincial artificial intelligence–related master’s program.
Researchers have developed a new voice assistant that allows people with visual impairments to get web content as quickly and as effortlessly as possible from smart speakers and similar devices.
, a PhD student at the Cheriton School of Computer Science, his supervisor Professor ÌýandÌý, a postdoctoral researcher at ETH Zurich, have received theÌýÌýat SCA 2019, the ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Symposium on Computer Animation.
ProfessorÌý, his colleaguesÌý, Randi Thomas, and former PhD supervisorÌýÌýhave won the 2019 USENIX Security Test of Time Award for their research that also received the Best Paper Award at theÌýÌýin 1996.
Researchers at the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science have developed a blueprint for designing effective information systems that will help parents receive efficient updates about their school-aged children.
The system comes out of a study that examined the use of technologies such as GPS, fitness trackers and surveillance applications and the best ways these can be used to inform parents while respecting privacy.
Cheriton School of Computer Science ProfessorÌý, his graduate students and international colleagues have received two best paper awards at NetSoft 2019, theÌý.
