Asst Prof Nachiket Kapre	I am broadly interested in understanding the potential of reconfigurable VLSI technologies for improving performance, energy efficiency and manufacturing reliability of next-generation computing systems. While Moore's Law (technology scaling) continues to deliver increasing VLSI capacity, we may be unable to fully utilize these resources and fail to satisfy the computational demands of future computing problems. To address these challenges, I foresee breakthroughs required in four key areas: 1. Power and Energy-Efficiency It is expected that as much as 50% of our chips will have to remain off at 8nm technology node due to excessive power consumption. This effectively nullifies the benefits of technology scaling. Spatial, heterogeneous computer architectures that use specialisation and emphasise communication requirements during design will deliver the required energy benefits to keep the benefits of VLSI scaling impact. 2. Reliability and Robustness As we begin to manufacture increasingly smaller transistors (feature size is merely 10s-100s of atoms wide), it gets increasingly harder to ensure that all devices are perfect and have identical circuit behavior. Reconfigurability at some granularity (e.g. few gates, or function units like adders or multipliers, or complete CPU cores) is essential to design reliable systems out of unreliable components. 3. Programmability and Scalability Programmers have been traditionally trained to describe computation sequentially are not prepared to reason about computation spread across tens of billions of transistors. We can simplify the task of programming heterogeneous, reconfigurable architectures through high-level, domain-specific system architectures. 4. Compute Demands of the Future Human imagination continues to push the boundaries of what can be processed with digital computation. There will always be problems in different domains such as scientific computing, IT, operations research, healthcare, desktop and embedded computing, that will remain infeasible on modern computing resources. We must pick a representative challenging set of compute kernels that are know to scale poorly on modern machines e.g. kernels from sparse graph processing, VLSI CAD problems, and biological sequencing and matching. Such applications will often decompose into a variety of custom abstractions such as streaming, data-centric, data-parallel or control-intensive systems that can help us design custom accelerators that offer the desired level of performance to implement the computation.

In addition, research into CMAC and in-house developed MCMACs and Fuzzy MCMACs are actively pursued.

Assoc Prof Siew Chee Kheong, David	Research A/Prof Siew's research interests span three areas: (1) Quality of Service (QoS) Provisioning; (2) Congestion Control; and (3) Application of intelligent control to networking problems. The underlying network could be a wired, wireless or optical network. (1) While there is no shortage of proposed packet scheduling algorithms, our approach to the problem is slightly different. We are particularly interested in practical issues in search of low computational-complexity fine-granularity scheduling together with admission control that provide per-flow deterministic guarantees using class-based traffic treatment. This work would allow efficient QoS provisioning with specific queueing delay bounds. Our approach is to provide low-complexity service-curve based scheduling and admission control. Using nice properties of service-curves, we are able to avoid packet-by-packet analysis but provide an elegant analysis of the complex end-to-end QoS provisioning. We have recently proposed a low-complexity Flow-state-dependent Dynamic Priority Scheduling (FDPS) algorithm that could provide a service-curve based packet scheduling engine that enables per-flow deterministic guarantees. My recent in-press publication on per-flow QoS using class-based treatment is listed in [2]. (2) My interest in Congestion Control is to improve the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) fairness and prevent TCP collapse in best-effort networks. It is well-know that TCP performance is highly dependent on Round-trip-time (RTT), an issue that has attracted many investigations. While most existing works attempt to provide solutions at the transport-layer, our approach uses both the features of network-layer and transport-layer. Our recent work [1] demonstrated that our solution could improve TCP fairness by reducing dependence on RTT, and prevent TCP collapse by means of intelligent packet discarding [1]. It has been proven that classical TCP will not be efficient in such high bandwidth-delay product networks. As a result, we are currently interested in providing a comprehensive solution to networks (e.g. Grid computing networks) with high bandwidth-delay product. The issues of max-min fairness and rate of convergence are converging issues for the research. (3) We are interested to apply intelligent control to network problems would include stochastic QoS guarantees and/or wireless network carrying heterogeneous traffic. These works could involve cross-disciplinary solution using control theory, fuzzy logic or artificial intelligence. The natural progression of such works would be Application-layer QoS provisioning in which cross-layer issues dominate. We are currently interested in applying distributed algorithm for collaborative wireless networks. Solutions are needed for many challenging issues on how rate, delay and access control in this area.

Assoc Prof Tan Soon Keat	Dr Tan's research interests include application of geographical information system (GIS) in water resources, numerical simulation of flow for hydraulics and coastal engineering applications. His current research projects include hydrodynamic consideration of mega underwater structures and application of wetland technologies in the removal of pharmaceutical products from wastewater streams. Dr Tan specilaises in urban water management and has developed the catchment – drainage GIS map of NTU campus. The GIS map is designed to facilitate rainfall-runoff modeling as well as water quality modeling. While rainfall-runoff modelling is generally well-established, water quality modeling is not, especially in the estimate of the source concentration of the pollutants. Current research focus in the community is in the establishment of the total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorous (TP) in rainwater runoff. The difficulty lies in the fact that TN and TP varies with time, space as well as the intensity of rainfall. Dr Tan has a PhD project on TN and TP as contaminant in rainwater runoff. Removal of water-borne contaminant, particularly trace quantity of drugs and pharmaceutical products from waste-water streams is a challenge in the management of water resources, and in particular, raw water for water supply. A viable and feasible solution is to employ wetland technology as a means to remove these contaminants. Under the supervision of Dr Tan, a research team is carrying out a series of constructed wetlands experiments with raw water spiked with selected contaminants. The research work has produced meaningful results since its inception in 2009. Currently Dr Tan is leading a research team to conduct research on the various hydrodynamics considerations for a mega underwater structure, looking at the effects of flow, wave and environmental loads on a single or group of surface protruding structures. The research team comprises 10 research fellows. The challenge of the project is that the structure is to be founded on the seabed, with living space on the seabed, or supported on legs or semi-submersible, and the columns also support a deck space above the water, making full use of the 3-dimensional space. The structure has to be of mega-size to make it economically viable. As such, the environmental loads, impact of flow and waves takes on a different dimension compared to a land-based structure or oil platforms. Of particular significance is the possibility of vortex-induced-vibrations, as well as trapping or building up of waves within the group of structures. Later research work includes selection of potential site for the construction of a pilot structure as well as the effects of such structure on seabed sedimentation, ecology as well as its impact on the environment.
