MasterWorks

Interesting! I just attended the master projects of MIT students. There were really interesting small pieces of works spanning (electronics, communication and computer science) : optimizing the eletricity consumption of home appliances with small chips, neonatal care for babies with deficiencies in birth, attribution in artworks on the Web by using Semantic Web technologies, error analysis on feedback collection from sensor networks (fusion centers and sensor devices in the form of daisy chains), oblivious routing, new file systems for distributed environments for security and many studies on speech recognition.
