Congratulations to Prof. Ramaswamyand his collaborators at IBM for having a patent granted for their invention, "System and method for achieving different levels of data consistency" (United States Patent 7,395,279).

Computer Science Department alumna Dr. Chunmei Liu won the 2009 NSF CAREER award for her project titled, "CAREER: A Complete System for Protein Identification with Computational Approaches". Dr. Liu received her Ph.D. in Computer Science at University of Georgia in 2006 and is currently an assistant professor at Howard University, Washington DC. The NSF CAREER award is the most prestigious award to faculty in their early careers.

Congratulations to Prof. Tahafor being elected as Vice President of the IMACS and for publishing two articles in prestigious journals related to Mathematics of Simulation.

Congratulations to Prof. Doshifor winning the Creative Research Medal for his research on decision making in multiagent settings. This prestigious medal is selectively awarded by UGA for outstanding research or creative activity within the past 5 years that focuses on a single theme identifiable with UGA.

Congratulations to Prof. Tahawhose article in Math. and Computers in Simulation Journal received the 3rd IMACS 2011 most successful papers award.

UGA's Red and Black student newspaper features CSCI 4530/6530 (taught by Prof. Potter) and CSCI 4550/6550 (taught by Prof. Doshi) in its quirky curriculum series.

Profs. Amit Sheth and John Miller were once again awarded IBM Eclipse Innovation Grant (EIG) (a $27,000 cash gift) for their research related to the METEOR-S project. As part of the IBM Scholars Program, the EIG competition was highly competitive. IBM received over 360 international submissions and selected around 50 proposals for funding in the range of $10,000-$30,000 each.

Prof. Doshi was awarded a 3-year grant by the Army Research Office for his project titled 'Strategic State Estimation in Uncertain and Mixed Multiagent Settings'. Prof. Adam Goodie of Psychology is the Co-PI.

Prof. Doshi received a one-year grant from Microsoft Research for his research proposal titled 'Semantic Reconciliation with Disparate Sensor Meta-Data for Automatic Publication'. His was one of the approximately 15% of the total proposals that were selected for funding. The competition received proposals from all over the world.

Prof. Doshi (PI) received a two year grant from AFOSR for his project titled "Individual Decision Making in Large-Scale and Uncertain Multiagent Environments". Prof. Doshi will collaborate with Prof. Goodie (Co-PI) of the Psychology Dept., UGA.
