HPC4EAS participated in #MWC25
This week, the HPC4EAS research group participated in #MWC25, within the 4YFN fair, along with other research groups from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). The #EnginyeriaUAB delegation was present at the event in collaboration with the Parc de Recerca UAB, Emprèn UAB, and Alumni UAB.
The event was a key opportunity to connect with other researchers and companies, showcasing the impact of high-performance computing research on industry and society.
3rd International Conference of the Chilean Computer Science Society (SCCC)
Universidad de La Frontera, Temuco, Chile
October 28-30, 2024
The SCC2024 – Chilean Computing Conference is the most significant scientific event in Chile in Computer Science and Informatics. This annual event brings together renowned researchers and professionals to present and discuss the latest advancements in the discipline.
This year, researcher Felipe Tirado, a member of the HPC4EAS group, participated with his work titled: “Characterization Model for Irregular MPI Applications Based on PAS2P.” This work, developed in collaboration with Álvaro Wong, Dolores Rexachs, and Emilio Luque, offers an innovative approach to characterizing irregular MPI applications.
This event provided an excellent opportunity to share knowledge and establish connections within the scientific community, contributing to the advancement of research in high-performance computing.
Simul2024 Awards: Francisco Mesas, HPC4EAS researcher, has received the award for best paper at the Simul24 Conference.
Congratulations!!
The authors of these papers are also receiving invitations to submit an extended article version to one of the IARIA Journals.
30th Edition of CACIC:
The Argentine Congress on Computer Science (CACIC) is organized by the Network of National Universities with Computer Science programs (RedUNCI). Since 1995, CACIC has brought together researchers, teachers, professionals, undergraduate & graduate students in the Computer Science discipline.
The Congress covers important topics in Computer Science through the organization of different Workshops, coordinated by experts in the discipline. In these Workshops, scientific works evaluated by researchers from the country and abroad are presented.
The 30th edition was held in the University of La Plata (October 7-10 , 2024) and the session videos can be obtained from Youtube Channel.
Research contributions presented from the HPC4EAS members:
- Francisco Mesas: Adaptive Agent-Based Model and Simulation Metasystem for Emergency Departments.
- Mariela Rodríguez: Análisis de desempeño de Servicio de Urgencia Hospitalario con llegada creciente de pacientes.
- Mercedes Planas: Evaluación del tiempo crítico para realizar acciones preventivas en el Servicio de Urgencias Hospitalarias.
- Candelaria Álvarez: Patient-centric synthetic data generation: a new methodology for Chronic Kidney Disease.
