Error Detection

Richard E. Blahut

A major project of Prof. Blahut's for the past decade has been his authorship of a series of advanced textbooks on the mathematical aspects of statistical information processing, including information theory, communications theory, surveillance theory, error-control codes, and signal processing. He was a systems consultant to Ioptics, Incorporated, Bellevue, Washington.

Todd P. Coleman

Prof. Coleman's work is chiefly in the areas of network information theory and computational neuroscience.

Iwan M. Duursma

Iwan Duursma's research interests are in the interaction of coding theory, cryptography and number theory, and algebraic geometry and geometric codes.

Negar Kiyavash

In the area of digital rights management (DRM), Negar Kiyavash focuses on copyright protection, including digital watermarking and digital fingerprinting, steganography, and information-theoretic and algebraic DRM. In the area of biometrics, she is working on biometric authentication and biometric-aided access-based control.

Predictive Runtime Analysis

Predictive runtime analysis is the process of detecting potential errors in a system by running the system and observing its execution traces. The analyzed execution traces may not necessarily hit the errors directly. However, if one looks carefully, one can "see" errors that were close to happening.
