Symposium on Networked Systems 2024
March 15, 2024, 12.45 - 18.30 h
University of Bern, Unitobler, Lerchenweg 36, 3012 Bern, Room F-121
The CDS group at the Institute of Computer Science at the University of Bern was founded in 1998, i.e. more than 25 years ago. More than 40 PhD students graduated since then, and many projects with national and international partners in both industry and academia have been successfully finished, resulting in numerous publications in journals and conferences.
The symposium will review joint research topics and give an outlook on emerging topics in networked systems. The symposium consists of three sessions of invited speakers who collaborated with the CDS group over the last 25 years. Topics are in the area of research of the CDS group.
The symposium will be in person but not online. All presentations will be given in English.
Participation (both speakers and attendees) is on invitation only.
Sandwich Lunch and Coffee breaks will be served in Mensa Unitobler.
Contact: Prof. Dr. Torsten Braun and Priska Grunder
