University of Texas at Dallas (02/10/09) Moore, David
ACM’s Special Interest Group on Multimedia has appointed University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) computer scientist Balakrishnan Prabhakaran to its executive council and has named him editor-in-chief of its online magazine. Prabhakaran says the magazine could bring multimedia experts in the burgeoning academic field closer together. Prabhakaran’s research interests at the university’s Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science include content-based retrieval of three-dimensional (3D) models and motion sequences, streaming of 3D animations and deformable 3D models, and quality-of-service guarantees for streaming in wireless ad-hoc and mesh networks. “This is a great honor and certainly shows Dr. Prabhakaran’s leadership in his field,” says UTD professor D.T. Huynh. This year’s ACM International Conference on Multimedia will be held in Beijing, China, from October 19-24, 2009.
