Dear All, We just finished our WG meeting in Lisbon. The main aim of our work this year are the case studies (CS). We were divided into teams and worked hardly on the update and specification of the CS topics problems, etc. The CS webpage will be periodically updated until the end of February 2018 – the deadline  for the work on CS in the current grant period. I would like to thank Vasco Amaral and Ordem Dos Engenheiros for hosting us and for local organization. cHiPSet Chair

Dear All, Stuttgart (DE) hosted the HiPEAC Computing Systems Week from Oct 25 to Oct 27, 2017. Considering that in Stuttgart are located large automotive companies, such as Bosch, Daimler, and Porsche, and about 1500 SMEs, the focus of this event was on mobility. Mobility is of crucial interest for computing community in Europe. According to Sandro D’Elia, Programme Officer in the Technologies and Systems for Digitising Industry Unit of the EC DG CONNECT, in 2022 an average car will comprise electronic components worth € 6000. The trend towards cooperative and autonomic mobility poses many Big Data challenges that we […]

Dear cHiPSet Members, cHiPSet Chair – Joanna Kolodziej – and Sabri Pllana organize the Thematical Session on “Big Data in Mobility and Transport” during the HiPEAC Computing Systems Week in Stuttgart (25-27.10.2017). The session slot is planned for October 26, 2017 , 14:00 – 15:30h.

Dear Action Members, The cHiPSet Training School on Big Data Processing and Analytics in the Internet of Everything Era was hosted in Novi Sad, Serbia. The school was organized by cHiPSet training school team and locally supported by BioSense Institute and Faculty of Sciences. It was a nice experience and great event of the Action. The training school presented more intertwined connections between HPC frameworks and specific data intensive domains and applications. Big data high value use cases arising from mobile phone data, IoT, multimedia content were explored. All lectures were divided into theoretical and practical sessions, and provided participants […]

The European Commission’s DG Connect and COST organized on 12 and 13 September 2017 an interactive workshop on the Next Generation Internet (NGI). The organizers aimed to  bring together stakeholders working on this topic. cHiPSet has been represented by the Action Chair – Joanna Kolodziej – and Sabri Pllana after receiving the personal invitations from Cost Assotiation and European Comission. The NGI initiative was launched by the European Commission in 2016 and has the aim to develop a more human-centric internet, supporting European values of openness, cooperation across borders, decentralization transparency and protection of privacy. The objective of this workshop was to dig deeper in […]
