JoyalSponsor: Dr. Chunlei LiuThis paper discusses the medical and lifestyle impact of Apple device wearables and the usefulness of these day to day wearables. We looked into how the Apple wearables affect peoples lives by giving instant medical data, recording fitness data, and providing lifesaving applications. Our purpose is to provide information on how this data is collected and the benefits of having such data readily available for medical, fitness and safety reasons. As more features are added to the Apple watch, we will show the necessary hardware needed to collect the data needed for the new features. Our research shows the implementation of medical and lifestyle elements in wearables and the purpose they serve to the people that wear them.Fault Containment Algorithmsin Distributed SystemDavid Q. TruongSponsor: Dr. Anurag DasguptaIn distributed systems, fault containment is an important feature. Transient failures can lead to random configurations that can disrupt the system state. Fault containment algorithms restore the legitimate states of the system from any given configuration in a finite number of moves, which is called the convergence property of the system. The probability of a massive failure is considered low and single fault is much more likely to occur in most modern-day systems because of system reliability. We explored such single fault scenarios using a randomized scheduler. Currently we are running simulation experiments and implementing several fault containment algorithms. The simulation results will provide insight regarding the efficiency of the algorithms. The experiments take several factors into account, for example - variation in the number of nodes, the position of the faulty node, different network topologies etc. 31'
