Europe RIG
The Brno Red Hat engineering site collaborates with several universities not only in the Czech Republic and Slovakia but also in Europe. Our long-term partner universities are Masaryk University, Faculty of Informatics and Brno University of Technology, Faculty of Information Technology, but we also cooperate with several other universities, including Czech Technical University in Prague or Graz University of Technology, Austria.
Our engineers lead bachelor and master theses, we cooperate with university laboratories and researchers on projects and grants or sponsor Ph.D. students. We also deliver guest lectures, workshops or even whole courses at universities.
We also support high-school students and teachers, and also organize events for primary schools (for example, on teaching computer science to children).
Europe Research Interest Group Meeting [September 2021]
Date: September 2, 2021
Meeting Agenda:
1. Usable X.509 errors – Martin Ukrop, Masaryk University
2. Declarative Distributed Stream Processing – Adam Cattermole
I am investigating whether we can exploit the semantics of functional programming languages to generate, monitor, and dynamically adapt a real-time stream processing system for the internet of things. By partitioning the graph of computation we can decide the best deployment strategy, and transform the system during run time based on the non-functional constraints.
Discussion:
1. PhD support
2. Inviting people from academic circles to this meeting
