A discussion on how social forces contribute to a lack of diversity in computing research. We can overcome challenges associated with these social forces, by discussing the importance of relative numbers and how teams might engage in more proactive strategies to enhance their inclusion of diverse voices in the innovation process and, as a bonus, to avoid Twitter storms.

Robotic Vision Applications on Heterogeneous Architectures

The authors propose Π-RT, the first robotic vision runtime framework to efficiently manage dynamic task executions on mobile systems with multiple accelerators as well as on the cloud to achieve better performance and energy savings. With Π-RT, they enable a robot to simultaneously perform autonomous navigation.
