ERI Student, Sanja Cvijic, Wins at NAPS'2011

Carnegie Mellon PhD ECE graduate student Sanja Cvijic won the Second Prize for the Best Paper and Presentation at the North American Power Symposium (NAPS'2011) held in Boston on Aug 5-6, 2011 http://www.naps2011.org/#/HOME-01-00/. The paper is co-authored with her thesis advisor Prof. Marija Ilic. The paper is entitled ``On Limits to Graph-Theoretic Approaches in Electric Power Systems " and it concerns fundamental differences between transportation and electric circuit networks which make it hard to directly draw on the rich literature in operations research. The paper proposed a sequence of unique transformations which map a physical meshed network into a non-physical tree-structured network. Optimization is done using well-established methods for transportation network in this nonphysical network and the results are mapped uniquely back to the physical network. The method is an outgrowth of the old diakoptics method originated by Gabriel Kron and further developed by Harvey Happ for applications to electric power system decomposition. The award winning paper by Sanja Cvijic finally demistifies the complexity of these old methods and introduces mappings which can be automated for systematic optimization. Sanja is spending her second summer with IBM and was selected to become an IBM Fellow for the academic 2011-2012. Congratulations to Sanja for the job well done!

IBM Award for SRC paper

SRC Paper Wins 2010 Pat Goldberg Memorial Best Paper Award Close to 120 papers in computer science, electrical engineering and mathematical sciences published in refereed conference proceedings and journals in 2010 were submitted by IBM Research authors worldwide for the 2010 Pat Goldberg Memorial Best Paper Award. One of the four winners selected, “A new graph theoretic, multi-objective layout decomposition framework for double patterning lithography” , is based on work that is in part supported by SRC research. The paper’s authors are Jae-Seok Yang, Katrina Lu, Minsik Cho, Kun Yuan, and David Pan. Professor Pan is an SRC-supported researcher at the University of Texas, Austin, and former SRC student and liaison. Dr. Cho, an SRC student of Prof. Pan, is now at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center.
