Her main research interests are computer vision, pattern recognition, affective computing, and interdisciplinary research across computer science and art design.
An internal survey of NSF's disciplinary offices yielded a wish list of almost $2 billion a year through 2012 for scientific tools, ranging from computing networks and research vessels to telescopes and synchrotrons (see table).
As did House appropriators, Feinstein noted that her spending priorities would favor materials research (which is part of basic energy sciences), advanced computing, and biological research.
The impact of sequencing human and comparative genomes along with modern digital images in hand has also created the fast development of high performance computing and bioinformatics research, which will obviously have a profound effect on how biomedical research will be conducted toward the improvement of human health and prolonging of human life in the future.
A team of developers at the Cornell Theory Center CTC, Cornell Universityty's high-performance computing and interdisciplinary research center, has implemented a 3D multi-user virtual science museum, SciCentr.
As they are at the intersection of biomedical, behavioral, computing, and engineering research, methods drawn from all of these disciplines are required.
These thrust areas include characterization of workload over time; identifying the impacts of task management strategy on mission accomplishment; evaluating potential effects of systems design options—including automation on task performance; informing manpower allocation decisions; and enhancing physiological computing and neuroergonomic research.
The project has pioneered the use of GPUs, PlayStation 3s, Message Passing Interface (used for computing on multi-core processors), as well as some Sony Xperia smartphones for distributed computing and scientific research.
NLM is a participant in the National Institutes of Health NIH Roadmapap initiatives, many of which include biomedical computing and interdisciplinary research as essential elements, in the programs of the NIH BISTI initiative, and other NIH informatics initiatives.
The paper offers a framework to reason about a decade of research in social computing and highlight key research challenges and opportunities for the middleware community in this area.
