For the third year in a row, ECE Professor Ozan Tonguz will combine forces with General Motors researchers to host a workshop focusing on the development of inter/intra-vehicle and infrastructure-to-vehicle mobile mesh and ad hoc networks which are some of the most challenging and critical issues facing the Intelligent Transportation Systems industry.

The 2008 MOVE Workshop (MObile Networking for Vehicular Environments) was held in April in Tuscon, AZ as part of INFOCOM 2008, Conference on Computer Communications sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society. The 2009 workshop will be part of INFOCOM 2009 in Rio de Janeiro, April 19-25.

The workshop this year was co-chaired by Tonguz, Dr. Varsha Sadekar and Dr. Cem Saraydar, both of General Motors, U.S. The organizing committee was made up of participants from other universities as well as GM, India. GM will continue to play a vital role in the 2009 workshop.

Carnegie Mellon University's Greg Ganger was one of 33 recipients worldwide to receive a 2008 HP Innovation Research Award, which is designed to encourage open collaboration with HP labs resulting in mutually beneficial, high-impact research.

Ganger, a professor of electrical and computer engineering and director of the Parallel Data Lab at Carnegie Mellon, will collaborate with HP Labs on a research initiative focused on data storage infrastructure issues. Ganger, author of the winning proposal, titled "Toward Scalable Self-Storage," will lead the collaboration.

At the Center for Nano-Enabled Device and Energy Technologies (CNXT), a multidisciplinary team of Carnegie Mellon University researchers work to harness nanoscale research underway at both the College of Engineering and the Mellon College of Science. The center, which is housed at the Institute for Complex Engineered Systems (ICES), primarily focuses on nanoscale research that enables the design of innovative systems for sensing and on future energy generation and storage technologies. The secondary focus of the center is on advanced information and communication technologies.
