Cavallaro Rice University Welcome to the 54th Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems, and Computers! This is a difficult year as we have by necessity gone from meeting at the beautiful Asilomar campgrounds to a new virtual format over four days. I am honored to serve as General Chair during this unusual year. Through the years, the Asilomar conference has been well known for excellent talks bringing together both senior researchers and the best and brightest young scholars. Many important research results in the area were first presented and discussed at Asilomar in the meeting rooms, in the lodge, and by the beach. The first time that I attended Asilomar was back in 1999 and every year since I make the trip to California in late October or early November. We have an excellent technical program for you this year with contributions to both the invited and regular sessions. I would like to thank the Technical Program Chair Prof. Marco Duarte and his team of Technical Area Chairs: Ali Tajer, Mojtaba Soltanalian, Usman Khan, Chinmay Hegde, Marius Pesavento, Selin Aviyente, Liesbet Van der Perre, and Sean Ramprashad, for selecting great presentations and papers this year. They all did an outstanding job in building the program. This year the conference consists of 355 accepted papers, of which 164 were invited. Among these papers, 83 were submitted to the student paper contest, from which a list of 10 finalists were selected. These finalists will present their research via the virtual platform on Monday morning in an online discussion session chaired by Visa Koivunen to a committee of judges and to all attendees. The top three student papers will be awarded at the Tuesday morning plenary session. I am truly pleased that this year’s Sydney Parker Memorial Lecture plenary speaker on Tuesday morning will be Prof. Keshab Parhi of the University of Minnesota. Keshab is an authority on VLSI signal processing algorithms, architectures, and accelerators. His talk will present recent research in the application of signal processing and machine learning to image data related to neuroscience and brain disorders. For our second keynote lecture, we are pleased to have Prof. Katie Bouman of Caltech on Wednesday morning. Her talk will focus on the signal and image processing challenges in capturing the first image of a black hole using the Event Horizon Telescope distributed network. This talk is especially relevant as the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for research on the topic of black holes. I look forward to both talks on important and timely topics. The role of General Chair for Asilomar is always an exciting adventure and this year provided new challenges. I hope that you will all enjoy the conference and find that the virtual format provides a good alternative this year when we could not meet in person. Prof. Joseph R.

  • Reasons for Lack of Diversity in Open Source: the Case Katie Bouman
    Reasons for lack of diversity in open source: The case Katie Bouman Lina Wang and Kristina Weinberger February 9, 2020 1 Introduction Open Source communities face similar problems with diversity as other areas of Computer Science. In this paper, we aim to take a look at the current situation and why diversity matters. Then, we discuss the relatively recent events around Katie Bouman and the first picture of a Black Hole as an example for some of the possible reasons for a lack of women. This is followed by an overview of other common issues that may contribute to imbalances in Open Source contributions. Finally, we spend some time looking at positive developments and initiatives aimed at bringing in more diversity. 1.1 Current Status of Diversity in Open Source It is well known that women and other minority groups tend to be underrepresented in computer science in general. This lack of diversity also extends into open source projects. According to a survey among more than 5000 randomly selected github1 users, more than 90% of all contributors to open source projects identify as male, while only around 3% identify as female [24]. The survey results show a lower percentage of women, non-binary people and racial minorities than present in the wider area of computer science [7], which is already well below the general population. While this survey only shows a narrow slice of the entire open source community and other communities around free and open technologies, it is reasonable to expect a relative lack of women and other minorities overall.

  • Who Is Katie Bouman?
    Who Is Katie Bouman? In April 2019, the first image of a black hole was captured in a photograph. Dr Katie Bouman (aged 29) was a member of the team that made this happen. She has made headlines around the world because of this huge achievement. Previously, it was believed that black holes were invisible. Early Life Katie was born on 9th May 1989 in Indiana, USA. She showed a keen interest in science and first learnt about the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) while she was at school. The EHT is a project that collects information from telescopes all over the world. It has helped scientists find out more about black holes. When she left school, she spent several years at university, studying computer science and electrical engineering, before becoming a member of the EHT team. How Did She Do It? In 2016, she gave a talk to explain how it might be possible to take a photo of a black hole, something scientists once thought was impossible. Katie led the way in developing an algorithm, a set of mathematical calculations, that allowed data from different telescopes to be gathered so the image could be created. Teamwork Although Katie made headlines around the world, she was keen to point out that the photo was a team effort, involving 200 scientists and taking over three years to achieve. The scientists were delighted when they finally captured the image on 10th April 2019.

    Written Testimony of Katherine L. Bouman, PhD before the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology United States House of Representatives May 16, 2019 INTRODUCTION Chairwoman Johnson, Ranking Member Lucas, and Members of the Committee, it is an honor to be here today. I thank you for your interest in studying black holes through imaging, and your support for this incredible breakthrough. My name is Katherine (Katie) Bouman. I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Harvard- Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, and in a few weeks will be starting as an Assistant Professor at the California Institute of Technology. However, like many Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) scientists, I began contributing to this project as a graduate student. My primary role in the project has been developing methods to reconstruct images from the EHT data, as well as designing procedures to validate these images. This morning I want to tell you about one piece of the full story that made this image possible: the diverse team and computational procedures used to make the first image of a black hole from data collected at seven telescopes around the globe. THE EHT’S COMPUTATIONAL TELESCOPE On April 10th we presented the first ever image of a black hole. This stunning image shows a ring of light surrounding the dark shadow of the supermassive black hole in the heart of the Messier 87 (M87) galaxy. Since M87 is 55 million light years away, this ring appears incredibly small on the sky: roughly 40 microarcseconds in size, comparable to the size of an orange on the surface of the Moon as viewed from our location on Earth.

    Between Discipline and Profession A History of Persistent Instability in the Field of Computer Engineering, circa 1951-2006 by Brent K. Jesiek Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Science and Technology Studies Gary L. Downey (Chair) Janet Abbate Daniel Breslau Timothy W. Luke Michael S. Mahoney (Princeton University) December 13, 2006 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: history, computer, computing, design, technology, engineers, engineering, engineering studies, discipline, profession, instability Copyright 2006, Brent K. Jesiek Between Discipline and Profession A History of Persistent Instability in the Field of Computer Engineering, circa 1951-2006 by Brent K. Jesiek Abstract This dissertation uses a historical approach to study the origins and trajectory of computer engineering as a domain of disciplinary and professional activity in the United States context. Expanding on the general question of “what is computer engineering?,” this project investigates what counts as computer engineering knowledge and practice, what it means to be a computer engineer, and how these things have varied by time, location, actor, and group. This account also pays close attention to the creation and maintenance of the “sociotechnical” boundaries that have historically separated computer engineering from adjacent fields such as electrical engineering and computer science. In addition to the academic sphere, I look at industry and professional societies as key sites where this field originated and developed. The evidence for my analysis is largely drawn from journal articles, conference proceedings, trade magazines, and curriculum reports, supplemented by other primary and secondary sources.
