We will exhibit some results based on the outcomes of the EU FP7 OpenDreamKit project in which we made contributions to the Jupyter ecosystem and implemented Jupyter support in several open source mathematical software…
Modern navigation applications provide routes using roads and paths, with some taking into account elevation data. This data is often used to evaluate the difficulty of a suggested route, but why stop there? In this…
Ethical dilemmas occur in software development when software professionals face conflicting moral obligations, or their actions may have unintended consequences that impact stakeholders. These dilemmas may arise at…
Have you come across frustrating pop-ups asking for permission to use cookies (e.g. blocking half the webpage you’re trying to access)? This is no accident – they try to discourage you from clicking reject by using web…
Software development processes have to manage the increasing complexity, ever changing requirements, uncertainty in operating environments and multiple business constraints of target systems. Software architectures are…
Imagine you want to search for a picture of your dog on the internet. There are a million million images to search, but you have only one dog. If you have an automated way of comparing images (that’s almost solved,…
Constraint Programming (CP) is a general purpose decision making and optimisation method. At St Andrews we have developed and maintain a CP toolkit. In this exhibit we will use 4 demonstrator applications to showcase…
The Internet-of-Things (IoT) is a rapidly growing technology that is changing the way we interact with the world. From medical sensors to agriculture to personal fitness trackers, the IoT underpins modern life in many…
Modern Intel processors have a unique hardware feature that lets programmers get a continuous stream of information about what is happening inside the CPU. This incredibly useful feature allows programmers to figure…
When a complex computation is split up into work for different processors these processors often have to share data and communicate results as the computation progresses. The current state of the art doesn’t consider…
