Congratulations to our recent graduate Aleksejs Sazonovs, who’s won a Highly Commended place at this year’s Undergraduate Awards. The Undergraduate Awards are an international and cross-disciplinary prize that aims to recognise highly creative individuals at undergraduate level. Typically this is demonstrated through excellent project work, and Aleks’ project on “A metapopulation model for predicting the … A highly commended project
Computer Science was well represented at a workshop on the challenges of variability in data-driven research that was held earlier this week.
The first of this academic year’s distinguished lectures will be given by Prof Luca Cardelli of Microsoft Research and the University of Oxford, 0930–1600 on Tuesday 25 November in Lower College Hall.
Simon Dobson will give a seminar on complex networks on Tuesday afternoon, 4 November, in the School of Computer Science.
We’re delighted that the University will be awarding the degree of Doctor of Science, honoris causa, to Professor Dana Scott at the graduation ceremony on Wednesday 25th June. What does it mean to describe a computation? For Turing, it meant designing an ideal machine whose small set of simple operations could perform calculations: the operational … Honorary degree for Professor Dana Scott
Over the past three years the School has been involved in the Sapere project, funded by the European Commission. Sapere has been looking at new ways to build large-scale pervasive systems, moving away from traditional client/server approaches to explore biochemically-inspired system models in which services and users can “bond” spontaneously as they encounter each other … Sapere project comes to a successful end
Prof Simon Dobson will be giving a lecture for CS3053 about his experience as founder and CEO of a start-up company spun-out of a university. This will focus on the business aspects — getting the company started, running it, growing, funding it, and eventually winding it down — rather than on the technology, and try … Confessions of a start-up founder
Graeme Stevenson, who’s finishing his PhD funded by the Sapere EU project, is this week’s featured researcher from the EU’s Awareness initiative. Awareness brings together the project consortia for a number of EU projects in self-awareness, autonomic computing and pervasive systems.
Congratulations to Lei Fang, one of our SICSA postgrads, on winning the best student poster award at the recent International Workshop on Self-Organising Systems (IWSOS) in Delft NL. The poster (PDF), entitled “Towards self-management in WSNs by exploiting a spatio-temporal model”, presents early work on using statistical methods to find and exploit correlations between the … Best student poster award at IWSOS
Dr Juan Ye and Graeme Steveson’s paper on accessing rich data was nominated for the best paper award at the recent PervasisiveHealth conference.
