Management of emerging technologies

Events, Seminars

Abstract Managing emerging technologies is a challenging task since it needs to deal with a number of uncertainties. These concern the assessment of future technology paths, future technological and economic potential, future markets in terms of needs and competition, and the development of framework conditions. Suitable tools for reducing such uncertainties are a key requirement…

Exploring Complex Interactions in Bacterial Biofilms and Colonies – An In-Silico Approach

Events, Seminars

Abstract Biofilms are macroscopic structures emerging from microscopic interactions of bacteria and their environment. These structures harbor antibiotic resistant bacteria and prevent proper elimination of the bacterial population during drug treatments. To design optimal treatment strategies, a proper understanding of the development of biofilm structures is necessary. The mechanisms behind the spontaneous formation of cap…

Towards Exascale-ready Ecosystems

Events, Seminars

Abstract As the age of exascale computers approaches, it is time to deliver appropriate software solutions to enable future exascale applications. The EU-funded PROCESS project is such an approach, bringing together leading experts in high-performance computing and data management. The aim of the project is to provide a comprehensive, mature and modular service-based set of…

Introduction to clustering in medicine

Events, Seminars

Abstract This talk will familiarize attendees with several clustering methods in the context of medicine. This kind of unsupervised algorithms are used for finding homogeneous groups (clusters) of objects. Samples forming one group should be similar to each other but different between other clusters. Such methods are successfully used in the field of medicine and…
