Interoperability between Information Systems of Portuguese Higher Education I...Lígia Maria Ribeiro
The main thrust of this work is to present an interoperability platform between information systems of higher education institutions in Portugal and the main advantages and benefits its use has already allowed within an academic community of about 100,000 users. This interoperability platform,running on a cloud computing environment, was a major result of a project called "IES+Perto", meaning "Higher Education Institutions Closer", involving some of the most prestigious Portuguese universities and the largest polytechnic in the country. It was developed with a unifying but not intrusive perspective, so that each institution would continue to be solely responsible for the
organization and delivery of its information.
A common mobility strategy for digital content supported by an application for mobile devices, and a set of services for electronic data transfer between institutions for the academic processes of
student national mobility and joint courses of study, have been developed using the interoperability platform.
The project IES+Perto and the interoperability platform in particular have contributed very
positively to innovation, administrative modernization and electronic management of the institutions involved, creating conditions for the extension of services to other higher education institutions, as has already happened by supporting new initiatives that the project IES+Perto proponents and other higher education institutions submitted for funding under a new application to the National Administrative Modernization Support System, which were approved.
Apresentação dos resultados do projeto Instituições de Ensino Superior mais Perto (IES+Perto) nas Jornadas FCCN 2016, Universidade do Algarve, 6-8 Abril 2016.
The document discusses the IES+Perto project which aims to foster closer links between higher education institutions in Portugal through the use of cloud computing and an interoperability platform. The project involves multiple universities and seeks to develop cloud infrastructure, support student mobility programs, create mobile apps for students and staff, and implement digital signatures. It details the goals, technologies used like OpenStack, and future plans to expand inter-university cooperation and services through continued adoption of cloud and interoperability.
CRIS and IR are the main informational platforms for supporting research information management and the research assessment exercises that periodically occur both at HE&R institutional and national levels.
Some institutions have only CRIS, others have only IR, many have both systems often interconnected, in some cases the same system serves as a CRIS and an IR and increasingly more functionality is needed for collecting research information that enables effective reporting and compliance verification, for instance for open access policies, data policies, and to provide evidence of performance.
Decision makers both at HE and national bodies need a comprehensive picture of the CRIS and IR in use, and of the interactions between them, to better inform planning and actions.
It was in this context that emerged this joint survey of EUNIS and euroCRIS to portray the current panorama of CRIS and IR in European countries.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
