The A.D.A. project aims to build a smart distributed personal assistant, that is, a virtual agent that can interact with a user through an ecosystem of devices, such as IoT (Internet of Things), by voice commands in Portuguese. These commands will be transcribed to programs whose basic operations will be made available by the devices managed by the assistant. 

The group focused on the discussion of topics related to the consumption of animals.
The activities included:

• Movie screenings.

• Awareness spreading throughout the campus.

• Books discussions.

• Networking of vegan food vendors and interested consumers.

• Lectures.

• Debates on Environmental impacts of current eating habits.

The InterHack Championship is a Hackathon focused on connecting web developers from different courses. It consists of 4 hackathons: 3 regional selectives in August and the final, in November. The first round of hackathons will happen simultaneously at the Campi Butantã (IME-USP), São Carlos (ICMC-USP) e Leste (EACH).  5 teams, from each location, are selected to compete in the final event.

DeepHack is a Hackerfest, in which the teams use datasets publisheds by TCE-SP to identify which São Paulo cities are achieving sustainable developement goals proposed by UN, coming up with new public politics. In the opening day, we have lectures about the datasets and the problems to be solved, data science and machine learning, and activities to form teams. In the closing event, there are presentations and analysis of the proposed solutions, judging sessions and awards to the winners. The teams have two weeks between events to work on their projects and receive remote mentorship from experts from aiding companies. 

A Escola Regional de Alto Desempenho é um evento anual promovido pela Comissão Especial de Arquitetura de Computadores e Processamento de Alto Desempenho (CE-ACPAD) da Sociedade Brasileira de Computação – SBC e pela Comissão Regional de Alto Desempenho de São Paulo – CRAD-SP.

De forma inovadora, a 11ª edição da ERAD-SP será realizada em conjunto com a 1ª Escola Regional de Aprendizado de Máquina e Inteligência Artificial de São Paulo – ERAMIA-SP, evento este promovido pelas Comissões Especiais de Inteligência Artificial (CE-IA) e de Inteligência Computacional (CE-IC) da SBC.

Organizadas de forma conjunta, a ERAD-SP 2020 e a ERAMIA-SP 2020 visam estimular o estudo e o desenvolvimento de pesquisas tanto nas áreas de Arquitetura de Computadores e Processamento de Alto Desempenho (ACPAD), como nas áreas de Aprendizado de Máquina (AM) e Inteligência Artificial (IA). A motivação dessa integração decorre do vertiginoso progresso das áreas de AM e IA nos últimos anos, que vem provocando uma crescente demanda por sistemas computacionais de alto desempenho e aceleradores capazes de lidar com análises de grandes volumes de dados em tempo real. Por outro lado, aplicações de AM e IA também vêm impondo novos desafios aos sistemas computacionais de alto desempenho tradicionais, que necessitam cada vez mais lidar com cargas de trabalho heterogêneas, resultando em novos tópicos de pesquisa. Assim, o objetivo desse evento conjunto é promover ao máximo o intercâmbio de informações e incentivar a pesquisa na intersecção entre as áreas de ACPAD, AM e IA.

A ERAD-SP 2020 e a ERAMIA-SP 2020 ocorrerão nos dias 19 a 21 de agosto de 2020. A coordenação dos dois eventos está sob a responsabilidade da Universidade Estadual Paulista, da Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie e da Universidade de São Paulo.

The São Paulo School of Advanced Science (SPSAS) is a special program from FAPESP which aims to establish, in the State of São Paulo – Brazil, a globally competitive hub for talented researchers. FAPESP already funded several schools which were attended by thousands of researchers and students from several countries (http://espca.fapesp.br/home/).

The school on Smart Cities took place at the Biblioteca Brasiliana in the University of São Paulo on the weekdays from July 24th to August 4th, 2017. The main sponsor was FAPESP and the event was also supported by CAPES.

The school is centered on ten advanced courses and other, shorter activities such as keynotes, basic courses, and discussion panels with experts in the field. Finally, student presentations consisting of Lightning Talks complete the expected activities. It will be a unique experience for the advancement of the research on Smart Cities.

The school gathered world class specialists on fields like Mobile Networks, Internet of Things, Sustainability, Visualization, Large Scale Simulation, Innovation, Privacy, Machine Learning, Big Data, and Software Frameworks – all of them with a strong Computer Science background.

The official language of the school was English.

The 37th IEEE International Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems (SRDS 2018) is a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in distributed systems design, development and evaluation, particularly with emphasis on reliability, availability, safety, dependability, security, and real-time. Research Papers describing original research as well as design, development and experimental results of operational systems, Practical Experience Reports describing ongoing industrial projects, prototype systems and exploratory or emerging applications, and Tool Papers describing architecture, implementation and usage of substantive tools to aid the research and practice of reliable distributed systems. Papers will be assessed with criteria appropriate to each category.

Dev.Research(A.D.A Project)
I showed a couple of posters from undergraduate students of the A.D.A project and presented the dev.research() initiative, which consists in putting graduate students to act as advisors in scientific initiation projects. The undergraduate student has an advisor with more available time than a professor and the graduate student planning on becoming academic professors gains experience in advising. The A.D.A project was our largest project to use this approach of advising.
