AMANDA MEANS: LIGHT YEARS
- Location: > See description for location
- Contact: > See Description for contact information
- Description: University of Massachusetts Dartmouth is delighted to host a career survey of the work of renowned U.S. artist Amanda Means at the University Art Gallery in Star Store Campus, Downtown New Bedford.
For over forty years, Amanda Means has created a body of work that has pushed the boundaries of the photographic medium with her celebrated Leaf, Flower, Water Glass, and Light Bulb series of images. Means has been a darkroom innovator throughout her career: adapting a 19th century camera for use as an enlarger, photographing objects without the use of negatives, working with a large-format Polaroid camera, and creating a series of remarkable abstracts working only with light and photographic materials. The artist's darkroom alchemy was cited by the Guggenheim Foundation in awarding Means their prestigious Fellowship in 2017 for her contribution to contemporary photography.
Our survey exhibition, Means' first retrospective, includes examples of work from all phases of her career. Alongside key pieces from her color Polaroid Light Bulb and silver gelatin Water Glass works, we are excited to be showing some of the artist's early prints and works on paper, as well as important examples of her black and white Flower and Light Bulb works. This affords a unique opportunity to view Means' most celebrated images in the broader context of her overall practice.
Amanda Means is a graduate of Cornell University and SUNY Buffalo, and is a 2017 Guggenheim Fellow, awarded for her contribution to contemporary photography. She has exhibited widely in the U.S. and abroad, and her work is included in numerous collections including the Whitney Museum of American Art; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston; the MIT List Visual Arts Center; the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, N.Y.; and the Nicola Erni Collection, Switzerland. The artist is represented by JHB Gallery, New York, and lives and works in Beacon, New York.

ECE Doctor of Philosophy Dissertation Defense by: Maskura Nafreen
- Location: > See description for location
- Cost: Free
- Contact: ECE: Electrical & Computer Engineering Department
- Description: Topic: Reliability and Performance Modeling of Software Applications and Processes
Zoom Teleconference: https://umassd.zoom.us/j/94835216696
Please contact Dr. Lance Fiondella via email at lfiondella@umassd.edu for Meeting ID and Passcode.
Abstract:
Modern society is highly dependent on software-enabled systems, including mission and life-critical systems. High profile failures of these systems damage trust in the maturity of the underlying technology and subsequently create concerns related to system safety and security. In the absence of objective methods to model the reliability of software within complex systems, decision-makers will struggle to deliver dependable and trustworthy systems.
In past decades, researchers have proposed a variety of software reliability growth models (SRGM) to assess the reliability of software during phases of test and operation which often possess complicated parametric forms but disregard predictive accuracy. Moreover, most SRGM are restricted to defect discovery data, yet removal of these defects is the practical concern of software engineers. Traditional SRGM have also dedicated limited consideration of factors associated with software testing like the severity of defects. Prior efforts to model defect resolution are primarily based on systems of differential equations and queueing theory. However, these past modeling efforts offer little concrete guidance that software practitioners can relate to or use when attempting to improve their processes.
To overcome the limitations noted above, this dissertation presents several modeling contributions including: (i) a framework composed of several SRGM possessing a bathtub-shaped fault detection rate, stable and efficient model fitting algorithms, and assessment with a combination of predictive and information-theoretic measures to justify their increased complexity, (ii) connecting a NASA defect-tracking database to novel models of defect discovery and resolution, including differential equation-based, distributional, and Markovian models, and (iii) a defect resolution prediction model that utilizes a SRGM incorporating covariates through the discrete Cox proportional hazard model.
Note: All ECE Graduate Students are ENCOURAGED to join the zoom teleconference. All interested parties are invited to join.
