• Congratulations Mihhail Matskin!

  Mihhail Matskin, your paper "Locality-Aware Workflow Orchestration for Big Data” written in cooperation with Norwegian colleagues at SINTEF and NTNU has been selected as Best Conference Paper at the MEDES 2021 conference. The paper was written as a part of the Horizon 2020 project - DataCloud. Could you tell us a bit about the project and the paper?

• Cyrille Artho new director of CASTOR

  Cyrille Artho is the new Director of the CASTOR Software research centre. He’s lived in Japan for 11 years, where he worked on analysing networked software and testing together with software security. In his spare time, he likes to run in the forest close to KTH.

• Benoit Baudry on his years as the director of CASTOR

  Benoit Baudry's term as director of the CASTOR Software Research Centre has ended. We have talked about his four years on the job.

• Two days on the latest within software

  The software research centre CASTOR organised its second conference on 31 August to 1 September at KTH Nymble. Software researchers, engineers, and students gathered to discuss cutting-edge technology, current software design challenges and software-defined networking.

• Four scientists on the future of AI

  Research in Artificial Intelligence was in focus when researchers and partners from Saab and Ericsson gathered for two days at CASTOR Software Days to discuss the research in the field.

• Elevated credibility in AI-generated information

  A new graph database management system is under development at KTH. Using graph technology in combination with artificial intelligence (AI), the system could assist in planning everything from healthcare to smart cities with a built-in trust feature.

• Two awards for the Division of Software and Computer Systems

  We talked to Daniel Lundén and Hamid Ghasemirahni who have both recently been awarded for their research.

• Campus art installation captures the richness of basic software actions

  Art can be a powerful projector of breakthrough science. During the 2022 Nobel Week Lights, an annual lights festival taking place during the Nobel Week, KTH launched an artwork called un|fold, which captures the richness of a simple software action.

• Researchers can help cut down global data center power consumption

  Researchers have discovered a way to reduce power consumption in data centres significantly. They offload computation by converting particular types of commodity Network Interface Cards into processors.

• KTH researchers behind breakthrough set to halve data centre energy consumption

  Researchers at KTH have found a way to improve the efficiency of the world’s internet servers. By co-ordinating data traffic, they have succeeded in increasing the speed of computations and data transfers. Their software has the potential to halve the energy consumption of data centres.

• New technique boosts accuracy and efficiency in probabilistic programming

  Programming can be a time-consuming and error-prone task. KTH researchers propose an automated technique that relieves developers of manual processes.

• Making data accessible - despite server and network issues

  A software developed by KTH has enabled cloud services to be easier to build and more resilient to failures. “I wanted to make fault-tolerant systems easy to build and use, contrary to what is often perceived of such systems,” says Harald Ng, PhD student at KTH.

• New cybersecurity analysis solution leads to significant reduction in energy consumption

  By offloading calculations for complex cybersecurity analyses to network accelerators, energy consumption can be reduced by over 30 times, according to Mariano Scazzariello, a postdoctoral researcher at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. This is an essential piece of the puzzle as internet traffic continues to grow, requiring more and more power for processing. ”It indicates a shift towards more sustainable practices," he says.
