Introduction: Privacy-preserving computation is a crucial discipline that protects the privacy of confidential data while facilitating secure analysis. In graph problems, secure multiparty computation (SMC) presents a promising approach to performing these functionalities. This article delves into the notable advancements in privacy-preserving parallel algorithms recently introduced in a Ph.D. thesis. By integrating graph algorithms with […]

On the 9th of December Jakob Mass defended his PhD thesis on „Process management for Internet of mobile things“. The Internet of Things (IoT) promotes solutions such as a smart city, where everyday objects connect with info systems and each other. One example is a road condition monitoring system, where connected vehicles, such as buses, […]

Intervjueeris Raimond-Hendrik Tunnel Meie eelmine mängujämmide lugu andis ülevaate Tartu Ülikooli mängujämmidest ning kirjeldas nende käigus loodud märkimisväärseid mänge. Seekord kõneleme samal teemal arvutiteaduse instituudi hajussüsteemide nooremlektori Jürmo Mehisega. Jürmo on osalenud mitmetel jämmidel ning olnud paljude mängujämmide õhtujuht. Vestlesime tema huvidest, teest mängundusse ning mängujämmide ja Eesti mänguarenduse tulevikust. Tean, et sa tegeled päris […]

We are currently in the process of significant changes in the communications paradigms. Among others, one of the changes is moving to cloud-based services instead of using local applications (Office365, Youtube, Spotify, etc.). We can argue about the motivation of this trend, but this allows us to provide the customers with the most up-to-date solutions […]

Researchers from the University of Tartu’s Institute of Computer Science are taking part in the EU Horizon project SPATIAL (Security and Privacy Accountable Technology Innovations, Algorithms and Machine Learning), which aims to develop resilient accountable metrics, privacy-preserving methods, verification tools and system solutions that will serve as critical building blocks for trustworthy AI in ICT […]

27. jaanuaril kulmineerus esimene üliõpilaste ja gümnasistide võistlus Delta X, kus arvutiteaduse instituut pani välja viis vägevat võistlust, millest üks keskendus isejuhtivate sõidukite tehnoloogiale. Osalejad pidid masinõpet rakendades looma tarkvara, mis paneb nende mudelauto läbima etteantud raja kõige kiiremini.  Delta X isejuhtivate sõidukite võistluse eesmärk oli pakkuda üliõpilastele ja gümnasistidele võimalust töötada tarkvaraga, mis leiab […]
