SUMMARY:Scalable display architectures - Alban Rrustemi (University of Cam
 bridge)

DESCRIPTION:*Abstract*: Recent progress in electronic\, display and sensin
 g technologies makes possible a future with omnipresent\, arbitrarily larg
 e interactive display surfaces. Nonetheless\, current methods of designing
  display systems with multi-touch sensitivity do not scale. This talk give
 s an overview of the limitations of existing display systems and briefly p
 resents the key findings of my PhD research - a platform for resolving for
 thcoming scalability limitations by employing a distributed architecture. 
 \n\n*Biography*: Alban Rrustemi came to Cambridge in October 2003 to read 
 for Diploma in Computer Science. He was awarded a Microsoft Research PhD s
 cholarship in 2004. He conducted his PhD research at the Computer Laborato
 ry\, University of Cambridge\, under the supervision of Dr Simon Moore and
  Dr Ken Wood. Prior to joining an industrial project in early 2009\, Alban
  has been working in a number of research projects at the Computer Laborat
 ory and at Microsoft Research in Cambridge. Alongside\, he is involved in 
 a number of charities in the UK and abroad.\n
