National Recognition for Computing Trailblazer
In the field of computing, efficiency and effectiveness are key. Researchers are continuously searching for solutions to the computational challenges that come with processing massive amounts of data in a timely fashion. Selim Akl, professor in the and a pioneer of parallel computation, has garnered worldwide recognition for his success in finding efficient and improved solutions to this issue. Recently, Dr. Akl was recognized by , the national computer science academic organization, with a Lifetime Achievement Award for his outstanding and sustained contributions to the field.
카지노 게임 컬렉션It카지노 게임 컬렉션s a huge honour and I owe a lot to my colleagues in the School of Computing and to my students. They really are inspiring,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Dr. Akl says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s is a special place because it gives you unfettered freedom to follow your research interests.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Dr. Akl felt this sense of autonomy in pursing his research program when he began his career at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s in 1978. Parallel computation involves the use of several computers to solve a problem simultaneously, a concept which was introduced through Dr. Akl카지노 게임 컬렉션s book in 1985. The work was the first of its kind in this area of specialization, allowing Dr. Akl to become a pioneer in the field.
카지노 게임 컬렉션There are real-life situations that necessitate the use of a specific number of computers and if you have one less, you cannot solve the problem,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션The big weather centres use massive parallel processors to give us up-to-the-minute updates on the weather but sometimes they are not even enough because if a storm decides to hit and you hadn카지노 게임 컬렉션t predicted it in enough time to warn people, it would be too late.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Dr. Akl has used parallel computation as the core foundation of his research program while branching out into other areas of computing, including computational geometry and cryptography, in which his work on security in hierarchical organizations remains state-of-the-art. He also explored biomedical computing, developing algorithmic techniques to analyze electrocardiograms for better diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. In recent years, he has been studying computational processes in nature and more generally, unconventional computation. In 2009, he originated the idea of quantum chess.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Dr. Akl카지노 게임 컬렉션s research contributions span many facets of computing that influence virtually every aspect of daily life,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Kimberly Woodhouse, Interim Vice-Principal (Research). 카지노 게임 컬렉션The lifetime achievement award is a fitting recognition of his leadership and continued impact on the field internationally.카지노 게임 컬렉션
As the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s School of Computing celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, Dr. Akl카지노 게임 컬렉션s colleagues and collaborators are thrilled to celebrate this significant milestone in his career.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I would like to dedicate this award to the School of Computing as it카지노 게임 컬렉션s been a wonderful home for me,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Dr. Akl says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션If you have a good working environment, then you have no complaints.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Dr. Akl will be presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the annual CS-Can/Info Can meeting at McGill 카지노게임사이트 on June 3.
