Strong Representation At OSDI, Including Three Honors, Shows The Impact Of Brown Systems

This year, the Brown Systems research group has broken their own record with four accepted papers. One of these (“Controlling Opaque-Component Effects with Semisolates and Try”) won both a Jay Lepreau Best Paper Award (one of three awarded out of 136 accepted papers) and a Best Artifact Award (one of three awarded out of 136 papers), and another (“RT: Regular Types for the Streaming Shell”) was a Best Paper Award Runner-Up (one of nine). Brown Systems students also presented six posters (25% of the total 24) at the OSDI poster session.

Brown CS faculty member Adriana Schulz (who completed this research at the University of Washington) and collaborators have developed an artificial intelligence system that automatically estimates the environmental impacts of making different electronic devices. The system takes only a minute to run and achieves estimates with accuracy similar to human experts.
