    Three graduate research assistants from the University of Washington’s STAR Lab received an outstanding paper award from the 2nd IEEE International Conference on Digital Twins and Parallel Intelligence (DTPI 2022). The paper titled, Real-Time Traffic and Road Surveillance with Parallel Edge Intelligence, proposes a multi-thread parallel edge system architecture and several lightweight algorithms for traffic and road surveillance. The lead author, Ruimin Ke, has since graduated and is now a professor at the University of Texas at El Paso, and the other two authors, Chenxi Liu and Frank (Hao) Yang, are both preparing to graduate.

    DTPI 2022 was held in Boston and Ningbo from October 26 to November 13, 2022. The conference was sponsored by IEEE Radio Frequency Identification Committee and Chinese Association of Automation, and co-organized by universities/institutes including Zhejiang University and Worcester Polytechnic Institute. The conference was held using a new form named “mixed distributed conference (DHC)”, which can provide live broadcast all over the world. The conference has arranged 3 conference reports and 22 special forums, with more than 3,000 attendees online and offline.
