This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) provides $199,991 to the University of Utah to develop a new framework for designing efficient decentralized algorithms that can enable reliable decision-making in resource-constrained scenarios.
The key research objectives include: (i) developing communication-efficient algorithms with provable false discovery rate (FDR) control for multi-hop networks; (ii) characterizing computation-efficient approximations of the optimal decision rule; and (iii) creating distributed feature selection approaches with FDR control, focusing on privacy, robustness, and computational efficiency. This research aims to advance technological capabilities in areas such as environmental monitoring, unmanned aerial vehicle coordination, and multimedia wireless sensor networks, while also providing mentoring and training for future algorithm designers. The award period runs from December 15, 2024 to November 30, 2025.
