Meeting Announcement
Speaker: Tom Glasgow, retired NASA engineer
When: Wednesday, November 19th
Where: La Scala, 4199 West Dublin Granville Rd, Dublin, OH 43017
Schedule: Social: 6:00 – 6:30, Dinner: 6:30 to 7:15, Presentation: 7:15 – 8:00
Cost: Members and Guests: $20 Students:$5
Topic: The Amazing Henry Bessemer

Abstract This is the story of a proud man, and justifiably so. Born in 1813, there was nothing in the family background to suggest that Henry Bessemer would eventually make an enormous contribution to metallurgy, and thus to society. One might have thought he would become an artist. He did have an interesting childhood, becoming an entrepreneur as a young adult. He dabbled in art casting and electroplating but made his first fortune preparing special inks and paints. With widespread interests, Bessemer in some ways anticipated the research laboratory credited to Edison. One could go to him for inventions on demand; he had, by the time of his death in 1898, 110 patents to his name. In this discussion, we will revisit the career and times of this amazing gentleman and examine some of his inventions.

Biography Tom Glasgow currently resides in Cleveland, Ohio, where he was a member of the technical staff at the John Glenn Research Center of NASA.

Mr. Glasgow is the author of more than forty technical papers on high temperature materials science, a few patents, and has served as an editor of one book. He is a Fellow of the American Society for Metals International and teaches some of their professional development classes, for which he has been recognized via the Cleveland Chapter’s “Technical Educator of the Year” award (2007). He is a recipient of an I-R 100 award for the development of oxide dispersion strengthened superalloys and is an inventor of the new material of choice for hydrogen cooled rocket engine thrust chambers as well as a new technology for characterizing three-dimensional fluid flows.

Having retired from his work on air and spacecraft he now enjoys teaching engineering for his professional society and pursuing his interest in the history of technology.

Transport Protocol Issues in Impaired Networks
Start: 10:30 am
End: 11:30 am

Sponsor: IEEE Columbus Chapter Signal Processing Society

Title: Transport Protocol Issues in Impaired Networks
Speaker: Giacomo Morabito
Affiliation: University of Catania, Italy

Time: Friday, December 5, 10:30 AM
Place: Dreese Laboratory Room 260
2015 Neil Avenue
OSU Campus
Host: Eylem Ekici

Abstract:
Running congestion control at the transport layer has been one of the key
enabling factors of the Internet. Today, the same congestion control
represents one of the major problems for the integration of impaired
networks, i.e., network segments characterized by high bit error rates and
delays, such as wireless and satellite networks, in the Internet. In fact,
high bit error rates may cause packet losses that are misinterpreted by
congestion control protocols as the evidence of a congestion and therefore,
result in unnecessary transmission rate decrease. This problem is further
amplified if the bandwidth-delay product is high. In the recent past a
large research effort has been devoted to solve the above issues and
several solutions have been proposed.

In this talk we will describe a complete transport layer protocol suite
optimized for wireless and satellite communications. Indeed, we will
consider both end-to-end solutions as well as proxy-based solutions
highlighting pros and cons of each of them. Some of the solutions covered
by the talk are TCP-Peach, PETRA, and rate control scheme (RCS), that we
have proposed in the recent past. Furthermore, we will highlight the most
challenging open research issues in the specific research context.

Biography:
Dr. Giacomo Morabito received the laurea degree in Electronic Engineering
and the PhD in Electronic, Computer, and Communications Engineering from
the University of Catania (Italy) in 1996 and 1999, respectively. From 1999
to 2001 he has worked as research engineer at the Broadband and Wireless
Networking Laboratory of the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta GA.
In 2001 he has joined the Departiment of Computer and Communication
Engineering of the University of Catania where he is currently associate
professor. His research interests focus on modeling and analysis of
broadband networks as well as energy efficient protocols for wireless
networks. More info can be found at:
