First workshop of the Doctoral Program in Computer Science

15-07-2015

The workshop of the doctoral program in Computer Science of FCT/UNL was held on May 21st and 22nd 2015.

The workshop, open to all interested parties, has the main goal of providing a venue for sharing and discussing the current state of the research carried out by the program students. In addition to the students and professors of the program master students and company representatives also attended the workshop. The program included two sessions of research presentations and a session of very short presentations (flash talks). This format allows more depth and detail in the research presentations and to present a brief overview of ongoing work in flash talks. In total 27 students of the program presented their work, of which 8 were long presentations. The program included a keynote talk by Manuel Hermenegildo from the IMDEA Software Institute and the Technical University of Madrid which was preceded by the welcome of the Director of FCT/UNL, Prof. Fernando Santana. The talk addressed IMDEA as an organization for scientific research and work in progress on the relationship between energy consumption and software development.
