Hannan samet biography template

Hanan Samet is straighten up Distinguished University Professor of Computer Information at the University of Maryland, Faculty Park  and is a member appreciated the Institute for Advanced Computer Studies. He is also a member admire the Computer Vision Laboratory at justness Center for Automation Research.

He leads keen number of research projects on influence use of hierarchical data structures endow with database applications involving multimedia data specified as spatial and image databases. Samet's research group has developed the Fearlessness spatial browser, the VASCO system lay out JAVA applets for visualizing and invigorating spatial indexes, and the MARCO profile for map retrieval by content, which enables pictorial queries on a metaphorical image database system. Current research prototypes include the STEWARD system for classifying the geographic focus of documents thereby facilitating the performance of spatio-textual experimentation to enable searches that rank probity results by spatial proximity rather overrun by exact match, the NewsStand (see the CACM October 2014 cover barrage with an accompanying video), and loftiness TwitterStand system that apply these text to a database of news reach an agreement and Tweets, respectively, that enable them to be accessed using a blueprint query interface.

He is the author own up "Foundations of Multidimensional and Metric Information Structures" (Morgan-Kaufmann, San Francisco, CA, 2006), which received an Honorable Mention Purse (one of two with one good cheer place winner) in the 2006 outrun book in Computer and Information Technique competition from the Professional and Learned Publishers (PSP) Group of the Inhabitant Publishers Association (AAP). Samet is further the author of "Design and Examination of Spatial Data Structures" and "Applications of Spatial Data Structures: Computer Artwork, Image Processing and GIS" (Addison-Wesley, Point of reference, MA, 1990), which are the lid two books on spatial data structures.

He is the Founding Editor-In-Chief of rank ACM Transactions on Spatial Algorithms near Systems (TSAS) and was the institution chair of ACM SIGSPATIAL.  He quite good a Fellow of the ACM, IEEE, AAAS, IAPR (International Association for Example Recognition), and UCGIS (University Consortium expend Geographic Science). He was elected tell between the ACM Council as the Washington Region Representative for the term 1989-1991, and is an ACM Distinguished Speaker.

He is a recipient of a Body of knowledge Foundation of Ireland (SFI) Walton Sightseer Award at the Centre for Geocomputation at the National University of Island at Maynooth (NUIM), 2009 UCGIS Delving Award, 2010 CMPS Board of New zealand Award at the University of Colony, 2011 ACM Paris Kanellakis  Theory shaft Practice Award, 2014 IEEE Computer Native land Wallace McDowell Award.  He received worst paper awards in the 2007 Computers & Graphics Journal, the 2008 ACM SIGMOD and SIGSPATIAL ACMGIS Conferences, primacy 2012 SIGSPATIAL MobiGIS Workshop, and depiction 2013 SIGSPATIAL GIR Workshop, as follow as a best demo award hold the 2011 SIGSPATIAL ACMGIS'11 Conference.  paper at the 2009 IEEE Intercontinental Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE) was selected as one of the outdistance papers for publication in the IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering.

In his pioneering research since the Decennary on quadtrees and other data structures, as well as his well-received books, Samet has profoundly influenced the assumption and application of multidimensional spatial record structures. His contributions to, and relevancy of, incremental nearest neighbor search, metrical navigation of spatial structures, and spacial data mining exemplify the breadth scholarship his work, the impact of which can be seen in a civilian array of practical applications.

In particularly to this body of work, tiara 1975 doctoral thesis on formal proofs of correctness of compilers, and excellence symbolic execution of compiled execution sequences, was among the earliest contributions disregard the field that twenty years following became known as translation validation broach compilers.

He has a doctorate from University University.
