  Am 27. November 2019 wird Dr. Zhendong Ma im Rahmen des CS-Colloquiums zu Gast sein und über „Automotive Cybersecurity: an Industry Perspective and Research Challenges“ sprechen. Die Fakultät für Informatik lädt alle Interessierten herzlich dazu ein!   Abstract The Automotive systems have undergone a profound technological transformation in recent years due to the industry trends towards electrification, connectivity, and autonomy. Cybersecurity becomes a challenging issue because cars are turning into computers-on-wheels and running largely on software. This talk briefly…

In workshops and a public panel discussion, international experts investigate women-promoting measures and present successful concepts.     Informatics (or Computer Science) and its artefacts are major drivers of change with enormous personal, societal, economic and political impact. Digitalization, the process to transform a whole society into "the digital" by adopting digital technologies, is mainly driven by computer scientists. However, who are these computer scientists who are going to change the world so drastically? To the large majority, Informatics students…

Am 4. Dezember 2019 wird Prof. Michael Schapira um 15:00 im Rahmen des CS-Colloquiums zu Gast sein und einen Vortrag zum Thema "Learning Network Protocols" halten. Die Fakultät für Informatik lädt alle Interessierten herzlich dazu ein!   Abstract The Machine learning (ML) has deeply impacted many subareas of computer science, including computer vision, natural language processing, computational biology, and more. Yet, computer networking has largely withstood the ML tide until recently. Recent advances suggest that this might be changing. We…

Dr. Petra Kralj Novak | December 9, 2019 | 16:00 | S.2.42 Abstract: Social media are computer-based technologies that provide means of information and idea sharing, as well as entertainment and engagement handly available as mobile applications and websites to both private users and businesses.  As social media communication is mostly informal, it is an ideal environment for the use of emoji and for detecting the population's sentiments and stance. Sentiment* and stance** analysis have been heavily researched in the…

In the third lecture in TU Wien Informatics' series, Edward Ashford Lee presents the case for considering digital beings to be living, then offers counterarguments. Are humans defining technology, or is technology defining humans? Richard Dawkins famously said that a chicken is an egg’s way of making another egg. Is a human a computer’s way of making another computer? Certainly, digital technology has changed the way we interact with one another, the way we work, and even the way we…

In the final lecture in TU Wien Informatics' series, Julian Nida-Rümelin reflects on a historically informed view on and the apocalyptic and enthusiastic approaches to Digital Humanism. Möglicherweise wird man in einer fernen Zukunft auf die Menschheitsgeschichte zurückblicken und von drei großen disruptiven technologischen Innovationen sprechen. Der Übergang von der Jäger- und Sammlerkultur zur sesshaften Agrarkultur mit Ackerbau und Viehzucht in der Jungsteinzeit, der Übergang zum Maschinenzeitalter auf der Grundlage fossiler Energieträger im 19. Jahrhundert und schließlich die digitale Revolution…
