research is a collaboration

If you're interested in project ideas in this space, you can start by looking at a list of possible project ideas I maintain online. If those seem interesting, then you might download one or more of these bundles of papers that I have assembled in an attempt to kick-start your thinking.

• [ Novice Compilation Behavior ] 
  Papers from the group on the behavior of novice programmers.
• [ Gaming of Systems ] 
  Papers on the gaming of intelligent tutoring systems. A natural direction for mining and additional research regarding novice programmers.
• [ occam-π ]  
  Papers providing a background on occam-π and concurrent programming in that language.
• [ Environmental Sensing ] 
  Background on environmental sensing in the large.
• [ Home Sensing ]
  Environmental sensing... but in the home context.
• [ Sensor Network Operating Systems ]
  Starting point for comparative work with respect to the Transterpreter as a sensor network OS.
• [ Power management ]
  Power management and consumption minimization for embedded devices.
• MCJ's publications re: novice programmers 
• MCJ's publications re: languages and embedded control
  
  

(You'll need a username and password to access these materials. If you've been in one of my classes before, you might even know what it is.)

I've attempted to provide a handful of papers in each context. We'll want to talk about your interests in any of these areas before you dive in: there are possible collaborations with colleagues elsewhere on campus in some cases, and these papers might not provide all the background/direction you are looking for.
