For a week, Alicia Oliveira and Beatriz Cepa left INESC TEC's laboratories in Braga and went to Barcelona - the city that welcomed the ACM Summer School. The researchers explored some of the elemental HPC concepts and realised that - in a context dominated by computer science - their training in biomedical engineering was an asset.

INESC TEC researchers developed the LazyFS tool, capable of injecting faults and reproducing data loss bugs. The solution helps to understand the origin and cause of said bugs, but also to validate protection mechanisms against failures.

Creating an open ecosystem that brings together representatives from academia, research centres, supercomputing centres and companies that are developing, training and using large-scale Artificial Intelligence (AI) models, as well as building and operating large-scale computing systems – this is the goal of TPC, The Trillion Parameter Consortium. INESC TEC was the first Portuguese entity to join this partnership, which gathers more than 70 entities and aims to promote the sharing of experiences, tools and data, collaboration between teams, and best practices in the responsible development of AI.

The paper Databases in Edge and Fog Environments: A Survey, signed by Luís Manuel Ferreira, Fábio Coelho and José Orlando Pereira - and published in ACM Computing Surveys -, establishes innovative concepts in the edge databases area, resorting to several publications on hardware used, latency performance, energy consumption and privacy. This new type of database benefits from devices close to the users to improve performance and features.

Encryption, malicious software, data privacy, web and mobile security, secure access control and authentication – these were some of the topics discussed at the 14th edition of the ACM Conference on data and application security and privacy. Organised by INESC TEC and the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto (FCUP), this was the first time that the Conference took place in a country other than the United States of America.

Alexandra Mendes, INESC TEC researcher, is one of the winners of the Atlantic Security Award, promoted by FLAD; Alexandra’s work aims to use a large language model – trained with data retrieved from the dark web – in decision-making processes, in the design of Defense policies and strategies, and in the application of the law in the security of the Atlantic region.

Medicine, climate, quantum physics or materials science. These are just few of the areas where supercomputing and modelling can play a major role in scientific, industrial, and social development. To strategically improve cooperation between Europe and Japan in this area of research, the HANAMI - HPC Alliance for Applications and Supercomputing Innovation: the Europe-Japan Collaboration project was born.
17th May 2024
INESC TEC researchers developed a study to test the ability to perform any Boolean function on quantum computers designed according to a measurement-based quantum computation model.

Since its establishment, the CENTRA network has been working to facilitate collaborative endeavours that allow the adoption of transnational cyber infrastructures - relying on several members from different countries: Indonesia, the United States of America, Vietnam, or Japan. Hence, and to strengthen the relationships with said partners, INESC TEC researchers travelled to Tokyo to attend the latest event of this initiative.

Where do you draw the line between transparency and privacy in digital services? How can a person, as a user of services, validate the correct follow-up of his/her process, without compromising the confidentiality to which the respective providers are obliged to follow? The PeT – Privacy and Transparency project, led by the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC) – in collaboration with the University of Minho (UMinho) – won the second place in the fourth edition of the IN3 + Award, One Million for Innovation. This initiative, aimed at ensuring transparency and privacy in digital services, received €250k to support its integration into the market – initially, at the national level, and in public and private services (healthcare, education, and justice).
