  17. Professor Gürdal Arslan Cooperative Systems of Autonomous Agents

  18. Applications in Diverse Areas Cooperative Signaling in Ad-hoc Networks Autonomous vehicles for military operations Dynamic Sensor Management Traffic Routing

  19. Modern storage devices Alek Kavcic Assoc. Prof. of Electrical Engineering University of Hawaii How much data can we theoretically pack on a disk drive (CD or DVD) and retrieve it error-free? Once we figure out how much data we can pack on, how do we design codes that achieve this? Believe it or not: this is not known
