- Name: Kostas
- Previous Work: Price and Capacity Competition in an idealized communication network
- Summer Plan: Analysis of datasets obtained from digg.com (and potentially from Essembly.com) with a focus on the structure of the associated social networks.
- Abstract: In this talk I will discuss some preliminary observations on a small dataset obtained from digg.com. In particular, I will provide evidence that before a story becomes popular it is visible mainly through the social network of the early diggers, however, after it is promoted the nature of diggers changes. Moreover, I will discuss some attempts on answering the following question: how can we estimate the total number of diggs that a news story will get by information on the first 10-15 diggs? The study has obvious connections with viral marketing and generally the question of how a fad/trend spreads in a social network and how to estimate its final penetration by early data.
- Name: Joseph
- Previous Work: Predicting Novel Target Sites on Bacterial Ribosomes
- Summer Plan: Firefox Address Bar Extension & CloudPrint? PC and Printer clients.
- Abstract: Address Bar Extension Results and Plans for CloudPrint?
- Name: Thomas
- Previous Work: Risk Mitigation in Computational Markets
- Summer Plan: Experimental Evaluation of Admission Control
- Abstract: This talk will be about market demand forecasting models implemented in Tycoon to support user risk-attitude signalling and multiplexing. A workload trace analysis, probabilistic models and some experimental results will be presented. The second part of the talk will be about some plans on running trace-driven experiments of different levels of guarantee-ensuring admission control mechanisms on top of the Tycoon spot market.

- Name: Jonathan
- Previous Work: Higher Order Laplacians in Network Topology
- Summer Plan: Comparing Market Equilibrium with Nash Equilibrium
- Abstract: I will talk about the mathematical theories of Hodge decomposition in network topology in its relation to Laplacian operator. Also I will briefly discuss the properties of Laplacian operator and how to identify the topological features in networks using L1 regularizations.
- Name: Bernardo
- Title: The Problem of Attention
*Abstract: How does novelty and collective attention interact? Is it possible to predict their dynamics and to validate it with real world experiments? And what follows from that?
