Code Ocean Is Live:
Upload Your Algorithms
Code Ocean is a cloud-based executable research platform that allows
authors to share their algorithms in
an effort to make the world's scientific
code more open and reproducible.
Uploading your algorithms and associated data files to the Code Ocean
site is easy. Anyone can run an algorithm posted to Code Ocean, modify
it, and test the modifications. The published algorithm that an author posts
will remain unchanged.
Any author that has had an IEEE
journal article published on IEEE
Xplore in the last five years can upload
associated algorithms to Code Ocean
by visiting https://codeocean.com/
ieee/signup. Once the algorithm is
uploaded to Code Ocean, it will automatically be linked to the associated
article in IEEE Xplore. Users in IEEE
Xplore will be able to discover and
access the link to run the algorithm in
Code Ocean.

1st IEEE CEDA IoT Student Challenge
Sponsored by Texas Instruments
On 27 March, and during the conference DATE, it took place the first
edition of the IoT Student challenge,
cosponsored by IEEE CEDA and Texas
Instruments (TI). During that exciting
Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/MSSC.2017.2713218
Date of publication: 25 August 2017

day, 20 teams had the opportunity to
practice with TI's SimpleLink Technology. Each participant received
a Launchpad and a Sensortag that
allowed them to set up their own
wireless sensor network during the
tutorial as well as later on at home.
The new CC1350 dual-band technology allows cost-effective, ultra-lowpower, 2.4-GHz and sub-1 GHz IoT
applications. The combination of
easy mobile phone integration with
long-range connectivity including a
32-b ARM Cortex-M3 processor on a
single chip, and the varied flow of
data from ten different types of sensors gave the students the opportunity to innovate in a broad range of
personal or academic projects.
Peter Spevak (from TI) provided
the training and conducted the challenge, while IEEE CEDA's president
(Shishpal Rawat) and Dominique Poissonnier (from TI) awarded the four
winners of the challenge during the
DATE reception.

OpenDesign Flow Database
In recent years, there have been
a slew of design automation contests and released benchmarks. ISPD
place&route contests, DAC placement
contests, timing analysis contests at
TAU, and CAD contests at ICCAD are
good examples in the past, and more of
new contests are planned in upcoming conferences. Nevertheless, most
contests focus only on the point tool
problems and fail in addressing the
design flow or cooptimization among
design tools.
