On Aug 11-12, we attended Workshop on Big Data and Urban Informatics, with support from the National Science Foundation, held at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). “The workshop brought together researchers from diverse disciplines motivated by sustainability and
Work on cooperative group optimization system was published on Soft Computing
The cooperative group optimization system (CGOS) consists of a group of compact agents cooperating with their peers in a sharing environment for realizing a common intention of finding high-quality solution(s) based on the internal landscape representation of an optimization task. Xiao-Feng Xie,
Work with the Polymath project was reported by Der Spiegel
This work with the Polymath8 project was to find narrow gaps between primes. … Mal steuerte Xiao-Feng Xie einen Vorschlag bei, ein Robotikexperte aus Pittsburgh. Mal meldete sich Terence Tao aus Los Angeles, den einige für den brillantesten aller lebenden Mathematiker halten.
Presented work on Urban Traffic Control at TRB 93rd Annual Meeting
Presented the work on tackling real-world changes and the integration with a unified route choice framework for the smart and scalable urban traffic control system at the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Annual Meeting, Washington, DC.
Presented work on Urban Traffic Control at TRB 92nd Annual Meeting
We presented our poster on the initial smart and scalable urban traffic control (SURTRAC) system at the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Annual Meeting, Washington, DC. SURTRAC is a packing box encapsulating the core control engine, including schedule-driven intersection control (SchIC) and decentralized coordination mechanisms, with some strengthening strategies

Event for the Smart Traffic Signal Network at East Liberty, Pittsburgh
Reported by the Breathe Project: A unique partnership has piloted a new adaptive traffic signal control technology that promises to dramatically reduce harmful vehicle emissions and frustratingly long travel times through urban neighborhoods. With funding support from three Pittsburgh foundations,
Demonstrated the adaptive traffic signal control system for NACo
On Jul 15, we demonstrated the work on real-time adaptive traffic signal control for the NACo (National Association of Counties) Annual Conference and Exposition, Pittsburgh, PA.
Presented work on Smart and Scalable Urban Traffic Control at AAMAS Conference
We presented the work on coordinated look-ahead scheduling for smart and scalable urban traffic control in the 2012 International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS), at the Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain. The work is a real-time,
Solving the Magic Square Problem using modern heuristics
