Background

Recent advances in Computer Science on the one hand and Information Technologies on the other hand call for closer cooperation between academia and industry. With the IT Research Workshop, we aim at bringing together the top university and industry researchers and exploit the potential of cooperation, which at the moment is definitely underexploited. We expect the workshop to improve the competitive advantage of participating businesses and to offer interesting areas of applied research for the academics. The program of the Workshop includes:

  • Keynote lectures by leading researchers from industry
  • Keynote lectures by leading researchers from academia
  • Regular talks and poster presentations
  • Panel discussion on academia-industry cooperation in IT research
  • Pre-workshop pairing of people from business and academia
  • Dinner for workshop participants, co-located with a networking session, organized in a partnership with Intel Technology Poland

Keynote lectures

  • Jacek Mańdziuk, Warsaw University of Technology: Vehicle Routing Problem - problem formulations, solution methods, challenges (partnered by Future Processing)
  • Hagop Boghazdeklian, Carmine Paolino, OLX: Fine-grained classification
  • Mirosław Staroń, University of Gothenburg: Action Research in Software Engineering - Experiences from Metrics Research
  • Marek Zmuda and Mariusz Oriol, Intel Technology Poland: The Challenges of Modern Data Centers
  • Michał Bodziony, IBM Poland: Optimisation of Extraction-transformation-loading (ETL)
