To build a cloud service as a degree project, is that possible? If you ask the two Computer Engineering students, Pierre Le Fèvre and Emil Karlsson, they would say yes! They have developed the concept and can now offer both students and researchers at Kungliga Tekniska högskolan in Flemingsberg the opportunity to run their software projects on the cloud. The KTH Cloud service began as a discussion between teachers Jonas Willén and Reine Bergström and computer engineering students Pierre Le Fèvre and Emil Karlsson about the idea of a "software makers' space." It became a degree project for Emil and Pierre under the supervision of Harsha Krishna, a PhD student at the Department of Health Informatics and Logistics. "Pierre and Emil are extremely talented and built the whole system very quickly. Jonas, Reine, and I are now expanding our ideas around the software maker space to explore how to use the cloud for healthcare research," says Harsha Krishna, their supervisor. He concludes that their work has even become a paper presented at a research conference in Paris. Read more, link in comments. #DegreeProject #Cloud #SoftwareMakersSpace

At EC3, we are dedicated to empowering researchers to become leaders in their fields. This commitment drives us to organize workshops where experienced and seasoned researchers share their knowledge and insights with the emerging talents in computing in construction. At the 2024 EC3 Conference, we hosted two such initiatives. 1 : Workshop on How to Become an Effective Author of Highly-Ranked, Peer-Reviewed Scholarly Journal Papers: A practical workshop for junior researchers, led by Prof. Mirosław J. Skibniewski, a 30-year-long veteran editor-in-chief of a top-ranking international research journal focused on construction IT and related technologies. This workshop was designed for junior faculty, doctoral students, and research associates in engineering and sciences. The following issues were addressed: how to select the best journal, design essential components of a successful paper, optimize paper structure for expedited review, and communicate effectively with editorial offices and peer reviewers. It also covered selecting effective interpreters and utilizing bibliometrics to the author's advantage. 2. Research Mentoring Roundtables: Early Career Researcher Mentoring Roundtable with esteemed experts Ioannis Brilakis, Raimar Scherer, and Iva Kovacic, providing valuable guidance and insights to junior researchers. These roundtables offered a platform for rising stars in computing in construction to engage directly with seasoned researchers, discuss their challenges, and receive personalized advice. Please see the glimpses of these insightful sessions below. #ec3conf

I'm particularly excited about this initiative, as it harkens back to our slogan: compute.for(everyone) Friends, colleagues, students, researchers: please share this infographic with any professor or researcher you may know at an Ontario university or college. Accelerating compute-enabled research and innovation. #distributivecomputing #research #innovation #ai https://lnkd.in/gQQ2j6a6

📣 Tell a university professor or researcher Demand for AI and research computing capacity is growing exponentially while Canada's national computing platform continues to underserve our academic research communities. Commercial (and foreign) Cloud providers are absurdly expensive. Announcing 💻 compute.for(ontario) 💻, an initiative that unlocks abundant, free compute and matching grants for research computing at Ontario academic institutions. What would you compute with 10,000 cores? 7,000,000 cores? Please help us spread the word by sharing this post, Queen's University, MaRS Discovery District, Invest Ottawa, Vector Institute, Lindsay Sill, ICD.D, Victor Fedeli, Todd McCarthy, Daniel Bernier

I am happy to share that our paper titled "Reactive vs Predictive Live Migration in Edge Cloud" has been accepted for the #IEEE #ICC 2024 conference under the Communication QoS, Reliability, & Modeling Symposium. I acknowledge the outstanding contribution of Daisy Rani for her effort in shaping this article with experiments and extending the theoretical modelling that I developed during my PhD work under the guidance of Prof. Tasos Dagiuklas at LSBU School of Engineering. I appreciate London South Bank University for supporting this research. #publication #research #edgecomputing #servicemigration

🎓 University Finals on the Horizon! 🎓 As the countdown to my university finals begins, my friends Javeria Shahid, Eesha Tariq, Aliyan Ahmed and I have been immersing ourselves in the realm of Parallel and Distributed Computing! 🌐💻 Together, we've meticulously compiled comprehensive notes accessible via NU IDs on Google Docs (Link Provided), covering: 1. Parallel Computing: Discover the art of breaking down complex tasks into smaller ones, executed simultaneously to boost efficiency. 🏃♂️🏃♀️ 2. Distributed Computing: Explore the intricacies of distributed systems spanning multiple computers, ensuring fault tolerance and scalability. 🤝🔗 3. Concurrency and Synchronization: Master the crucial aspects of managing concurrent processes seamlessly. 🕰️🔄 4. Real-world Applications: Uncover how these concepts manifest in diverse domains, from cloud computing to big data processing. ☁️📊 This collaborative journey has been both challenging and immensely rewarding. Interested in exchanging insights, resources, or experiences in this dynamic field? Let's connect and learn together!

Call for Abstracts: ESP-HPC: Ethical, Social, and Policy Issues in High Performance Computing https://lnkd.in/gsQzJAHv ESP-HPC is intended to start discussions among many disciplines not typically associated with the Supercomputing community. Scholars in the social sciences and humanities are particularly encouraged to submit their work with regard to HPC. The ideal abstract should be broadly accessible to an educated audience. The ethical, social, or policy issues concerned should be the central focus of the abstract. If accepted, submitters will have 20 minutes to give a talk with the expectation a significant portion of this time will be spent leading a thought-provoking discussion with attendees. Though we invite submissions from all disciplines investigating ethical, social, or policy issues in HPC, the following topics are of particular interest for ESP-HPC: Access issues in HPC (equity, policy, …) Costs of HPC (energy, environmental, monetary, political) Legal issues in HPC HPC public policy Epistemology of simulations (scientific codes) Philosophy of science and HPC AI/ML in HPC (ethical, social) Important Dates and Information Abstracts are limited to 750 words, not including references.

Collaborating with Macquarie University on its #digitaltransformation journey has been a hugely enriching experience.   The digital journey began with cloud migration, a crucial step in modernising the university's #ITinfrastructure. This move has not only laid foundation to further their modernisation efforts but also streamlined the IT infrastructure, reduced complexity and significantly enhanced the university's resilience and cost efficiency.   One of the most rewarding aspects of this transformation has been the approach towards it. By truly understanding the university's needs, we ensured every step aligned with the larger purpose and goals, driving meaningful and sustainable change.   Modernisation is a non-linear process and needs constant iterations, which again is possible through maximum collaboration. It has really been amazing of Jonathan Covell and his team for their great partnership all along.   Jonathan has rightly put it in this Forbes Australia article, Digital Transformation is often cyclical. Tapping into #AI will only make modernization faster, driving a wealth of change that everyone can benefit from, right experience at the right time.   It's been an incredible journey, and I look forward to the continued collaboration and the innovations that lie ahead.
