Recent Ph.D graduate Mario Nakazawa, M.S. graduate Wenduo Zhou, and Prof. David Lowenthal have an upcoming paper in Supercomputing 2005 entitled "The MHETA Execution Model for Heterogeneous Clusters". This year's Supercomputing accepted only 25% of submissions. Prof. Lowenthal also has another paper with collaborators at NC State entitled "Just In Time Dynamic Voltage Scaling: Exploiting Inter-Node Slack to Save Energy in MPI Programs"

Josh Brown (recent MSCS graduate) was recently notified that his research work had been accepted for presentation at a conference in Mexico; details: W.J. Brown and W.D. Potter, "Using Iterated Local Search With Adaptive Memory to Find Snake-In-The-Box Codes," in the 4th Mexican International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, MICAI'05, Monterrey, Mexico, November 14-18, 2005.
