第一个讲座简介：This presentation will include the portfolio of Teaching and R&D activities of the overall school and a more focused presentation of R&D activities at Centre Algoritmi. Abstract: Centro ALGORITMI is a research unit of the School of Engineering – University of Minho, that develops R&D activity in Information and Communications Technology and Electronics (ICT&E), spreading into four major fields: (1) Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Nanotecnhology; (2) Operations Research, Statistics and Numerical Methods; (3) Information Systems, Software and Multimedia; (4) Communications, Computer Networks and Pervasive Computing.
The majority of PhD-level researchers of the Center are also Faculty members of four departments of the School of Engineering, namely: Industrial Electronics (DEI), Information Systems (DSI), Industrial Engineering & Management (DPS), Informatics (DI). Furthermore, the MSc and PhD projects supervised by those Faculty members are developed at ALGORITMI.
Centro ALGORITMI focuses its activity on projects that explore a strong link with the community, namely the industry and the public administration. The University of Minho is located in an industrialized region with an important expression on textile and footwear industries, and an emerging field on ICT services enterprises, pushed by the e-phenomena age. The automotive industrial field also gained recently an important share of the market. Another external factor that influences our target field of application is the growth of the cities in the region, which introduces several demands for the co-operation of researchers, namely in the field of logistics, communication, e-government and resources management. The results of this policy are stated by the number of applied research projects in cooperation with companies (funded by AdI and EN) and by specific national projects, namely POSI, POCTI, and POE. Additionally, the Centre participates in several European projects, typically funded by IST programmes.
The activity for 2015 will be focused on 4 Thematic Strands: (1) Wealthy and Innovative Industry, (2) Sustainable and Smart Cities, (3) Healthy and Secure People, (4) Resilient and Agile Organizations.
第二个讲座简介：A presentation of the Embedded Systems Research Group projects and R&D activities will follow. Abstract: Almost all electronic devices manufactured today are embedded systems, and everyone is surrounded by this technology as personal communication/entertainment devices, in their homes as household appliances and comfort and security systems, in their cars, in transportation systems, telecommunications, etc.
The Embedded Systems Research Group is active in research and development. In terms of research, it study methodologies and tools to support the creation of embedded systems, in particular. languages and specification tools, real-time operating systems, simulation techniques and support for fault-tolerance. The Group also develops prototypes for commercial and industrial application.
