Professor Harold Kushner
Brown University,
Stochastic approximation and the analysis of proportional fair-sharing
algorithms in communications theory. Professor
Kushner has worked on early all parts of stochastic systems and control.
His eleven books and about 250 papers contained many seminal developments.
He has received: the IEEE Field Award in Control Systems; the SIAM Idalia
and W T Reid Prize for contributions to control and stochastic differential
equations; the Louis Levy award from the Franklin Institute; and the Bellman
Heritage Award from the American Automatic Control Council.
Associate Professor Takashi Kataoka
Hokkaido University, Japan,
Research activities at the crop production
engineering laboratory. The Crop Production Engineering Laboratory at
Hokkaido University seeks to develop and apply new techniques for
sustainable agricultural systems. Research activities include field
property mapping, crop growth monitoring, precision cropping, apple
harvesting robot, image processing and computer vision systems for
weed/crop/insect identification.
