Thursday at 2 PM we will be holding our COMP 462: Autonomous Car Challenge on the first floor of Sierra Hall. The students of Dr. Isaacs course will be doing a time trial race through the building using only the sensors mounted on the vehicle and control algorithms that they have written.

Computer Science Talk in Mobile Robotics
On November 4th, at 6pm, in the Petit Salon, Computer Science is organizing an event to which everyone is invited, especially current and prospective graduate students. There is going to be food, good company, and an exciting talk by Dr. Quintero (see ad below). For more information, please contact David Claveau <david.claveau@csuci.edu>.
Happy Day Commencement 2015 Computer Science
Algorithms on Strings talk slides
Yesterday I gave a talk in the joint Mathematics and Computer Science seminar, at CI. Here are the slides.

I will be giving a talk in the Math/CS seminar on String Algorithms on Feb 4th at 6pm
Refreshments will be served
Title: Algorithms on Strings
Speaker: Michael Soltys
Date/Place: February 4th, 2015, at 6pm, in Del Norte 2530
Abstract: This talk is going to be centered on two papers that are going to appear in the following months:
- Neerja Mhaskar and Michael Soltys, Non-repetitive strings over alphabet lists
to appear in WALCOM, February 2015. - Neerja Mhaskar and Michael Soltys, String Shuffle: Circuits and Graphs
to appear in the Journal of Discrete Algorithms, January 2015.
Visit http://prof.msoltys.com for more details (these two papers are number 3 and 19 on the page), as well as Python programs that can be used to illustrate the ideas in the papers. We are going to introduce some basic concepts related to computations on string, present some recent results, and propose two open problems.

Sierra Hall, new building with Comp Sci labs coming along very nicely!
CI student gadget wins a national award
CI junior Danny Larkins had been studying art for three years when he switched his major to computer science because “it felt right,” he said.
An award Larkins won from a national software company this week suggests Larkins made a good choice. Larkins won the national “2014 OmniUpdate Gadget Challenge” for a software “gadget” he invented.
OmniUpdate is a Camarillo-based web content management systems company for institutions of higher learning. CI is among 700 colleges and universities that use OmniUpdate.

New Computer Science Website at CI
We are very happy to debut an updated web site for Computer Science at CI:
This website builds on a site tirelessly maintained by AJ Bieszczad, and we are especially grateful to the talented team at CI’s Technology & Communication, who built the new site for us. In particular:

COMP 554 – Algorithms
In the Spring 2015 I will teach a graduate course in Algorithms. This course is an introduction to the art of algorithm analysis, intended for both Computer Science and Mathematics students. It will cover the main families of algorithms: Greedy, Dynamic Programming, Divide and Conquer, Online, and Randomized. The course will present all the necessary background, and it is intended to be a fun introduction to the fundamentals of this beautiful field. For more details see:
