The Carat research team got two awards from IEEE PerCom this week in St. Louis, USA. The article of Ella Peltonen, Eemil Lagerspetz, Petteri Nurmi, and Sasu Tarkoma: Energy Modeling of System Settings: A Crowdsourced Approach was honored by the Marc Weiser Best Paper Award. The article presented that crowdsourced data can be used to model battery consumption of mobile devices in real-life situations, when observing combinations of system settings, subsystem variables, and usage context of the device.

Ella Peltonen, a PhD student of NODES, also got runner-up award from the best PhD forum presentation. Her work fofuses on building distributed machine learning algorithms on top of sensing data.
