Dr. Zoltán Juhász will hold and chair a workshop on “GPU Programming and Applications” on Monday, 20 May 2019 in cooperation with the Ruđer Bošković Institute, Zagreb and the University of Rijeka. The workshop will focus on how to design and implement efficient, high-performance GPU algorithms, benefiting from the massive parallelism found in today’s GPU chips.

Participate if you are a student, researcher or IT professional wishing to keep up-to-date with the state-of-the-art in GPU computing.  Workshop participants will receive a BURA supercomputer account valid for 30 days. In addition, there is a possibility of extending the account on the basis of project proposal.

Invited lecture by Dr. Rebecca Christianson at the conference Engineering Education

Dr. Rebecca Christianson from Olin College of Engineering, Needham, USA, will hold an invited lecture on "Transformation of Engineering Education at Olin College" at the conference Engineering Education /EE on Tuesday, May 21, within MIPRO 2019.

Workshop at MIPRO 2019

The workshop will present various possibilities of creative use of micro:bit in working with children as an ideal tool to stimulate the development of digital literacy and computer thinking.

How to Teach Math in (Engineering) Context

Dr. Rebecca Christianson from Olin College of Engineering, Needham, USA, with 15 years of integrated project based learning experience will hold a practical workshop on „How to Teach Mathematics in the (Engineering) Context“ at the 42nd International ICT Convention MIPRO 2019.

In this workshop, participants will learn how to enhance student motivation towards mathematics by integrating fundamental mathematics learning into a hands-on, project-based engineering context.

Invited lecturer Paolo Zenzerović at the conference Engineering Education /EE

Paolo Zenzerović from the Institute for Youth Development and Innovativity  (IRIM) will hold an invited  lecture entitled "How to Develop Critical and Computational Thinking Early?" within the 42nd International ICT Convention MIPRO 2019 and the conference on Engineering Education /EE.

The world is changing so fast that it is clear that education has to change too - both the educational system and the way we educate. Those who enter this process are also changing: primary and high school and college students.

Round Table on Intelligent Production is a continuation of already traditional initiative of the CTS Symposia Organizers to talk about actualities having a “Production” as a key-word. This thematic field is addressed by inviting experts to present their projects and achievements in a form of Invited Keynotes. Invited Keynotes are also used to introduce topics and motivate the work of the Round Table which takes part of the timetable of the CTS Symposia, but it is also open for a broader audience. With this we invite all to join us on Thursday May 23rd at 10.30 in “Galija” hall of Remisens Hotel Admiral in Opatija.
 

MIPRO 2019 - workshop by Veljko Milutinović

This workshop sheds light on the essence of the dataflow paradigm and teaches the related programming model, so after attending it, the participants would be able to generate production level code for their applications that need acceleration and/or lower power consumption, using the current Maxeler DataFlow Engines, as well as the future Intel's ones. For general purpose code, this paradigm provides acceleration that could reach 20x or even 200x, while the power consumption gets 20x smaller; at the same time, physical size of the equipment gets considerably smaller, and conditions get generated for computing of a considerably higher precision.
 

Based on the Cooperation Agreement between MIPRO and EAI, the EAI has announced MIPRO 2019 convention among other conferences at their website https://eai.eu/#!/publish/conferences.
