Carnegie Mellon Silicon Valley students Aveek Purohit, Zheng Sun, and Professor Pei Zhang were awarded the Best Demo prize at the 7th annual ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys) in Berkeley, California. The Carnegie Mellon team demonstrated "SensorFly -- A Controlled-Mobile Aerial Sensor Network".

The SensorFly demo was chosen out of over 30 other select demos from universities across the globe. Votes came from the organizing committee and the overall conference attendees. The demonstration lasted two hours, as Zhang, Purohit and Sun presented to the capabilities of SensorFly.

Check out the full story and videos of SensorFly.

Graduate student Tudor Dumitras has won the prestigious John Vlissides Award at the 2009 ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Object-Oriented Programming, Systems, Languages, and Applications (OOPSLA).

This award is given to the doctoral student showing significant promise in applied software research and the most potential for having a significant impact on the practice of software development.

Two ECE adjunct faculty members, current and former Ph.D. students and researchers, have two papers in the upcoming January/February issue of IEEE Micro Top Picks.

The papers, whose co-authors include adjunct ECE/CS faculty members Babak Falsafi and Anastasia Ailamaki, former Ph.D. student Tom Wenisch, and current Ph.D. student Michael Ferdman, represent some of the year's most significant research publications in computer architecture based on novelty and long term impact.
