You can find out more about Abasi-Amefon Obot Affia’s PhD thesis here.  In the dynamic world of the Internet of Things (IoT), ensuring robust security is paramount. As IoT systems become increasingly integrated into various sectors, the complexity of managing security risks escalates. Recognising this challenge, the IoT Architecture-based Security Risk Management (IoTA-SRM) framework has been introduced, […]

Protests and conflicts have become influential forces for bringing about change and shaping the political and social landscapes not only on a local demographic level but also on a global scale. In the modern Internet and online social media era, protests have increasingly utilized digital platforms to facilitate discussions, coordinate actions, and spread respective agendas. […]

With the development of Online Social Media (OSM) platforms like Twitter and Facebook, the way individuals connect and exchange information has changed dramatically. These platforms have, however, also led to the problem of misinformation, which can quickly spread on a global scale, and once it has been disseminated, it can be hard to stop. It […]

Building healthy relationships and meaningful interactions with those around us is essential for social well-being. These interactions with our friends, family, and colleagues might occur in person, over mobile phones, or through social media platforms like Facebook or WhatsApp. The purpose of this article is to comprehend social well-being using mobile phones. This is conceivable […]

Jaak Vilo, Kallol Roy Algorithmics (MTAT.03.238) is an obligatory course in the Computer Science MSc curriculum. As such it is intended to remind everyone of the foundations of algorithms and data structures but also to go beyond and teach some more advanced concepts (like succinct data structures, for example).  The course aims at linking different […]

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, […]

Machine Translation is a quickly growing field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) that automatically translates a text from one language to another without human involvement.  In recent years, the use of machine translation systems has increased dramatically. Today machine translation is used not only by translation agencies but also by people using online machine translation […]

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 […]

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 […]

On the 21st of February, Faiz Ali Shah defended his PhD thesis on “Extracting information from app reviews to facilitate software development activities” which evaluates the existing Text Mining techniques for extracting developer-relevant information from app reviews at different levels of granularity, and then combined these techniques to develop a tool REVSUM for competitive analysis. […]

On June 7, Mohan Liyanage, who is an assistant in the Chair of Distributed Systems defended his doctoral thesis “A framework for mobile web of things” in which he presents an energy efficient lightweight mobile web service provisioning framework for mobile sensing utilizing the protocols that were designed for the constrained Internet of Things environment. […]

On the 15th of March, our doctoral student Yauhen Yakimenka defended his PhD thesis on the intersection of two different fields of computer science: error-correction codes and compressed sensing. Most of the information on the internet is now transmitted over fibre optics. It’s extremely fast, but it comes with a price: now the erros also […]
