Artificial Intelligence Through the Eyes of the Public

Artificial Intelligence is becoming a popular field in computer science. In this report we explored its history, major accomplishments and the visions of its creators. We looked at how Artificial Intelligence experts influence reporting and engineered a survey to gauge public opinion. We also examined expert predictions concerning the future of the field as well as media coverage of its recent accomplishments. These results were then used to explore the links between expert opinion, public opinion and media coverage

Resource Location Transparency in Clouds

Cloud systems have become a ubiquitous way of harnessing the power of large numbers of networked computers. One of the important functionalities of these systems is the ability to access a resource seamlessly regardless of where in the cloud it is stored. In this MQP, we provide a design that ensures transparency of a resource using a message-oriented cloud system. We then created a simple implementation of this design that demonstrates how information is transmitted over the cloud
