On November 20–21, the DRIVE project at Computer Science invited partner companies to a joint two-day workshop. DRIVE's overarching goal is to conduct research and education in data-driven and latency-sensitive mobile services for future mobile networks.
This year, participants gathered at Karlstad University to learn about the latest research in the field. The workshop, an annual event within the project, provides opportunities for networking, knowledge sharing, discussions on current topics, highlighting synergies between subprojects, and exploring future research directions. DRIVE is built on close collaboration between Karlstad University and seven partner companies.
During the workshop, partner companies had the opportunity to meet, with presentations given by Icomera, the University of Oslo, and Red Hat. Researchers from the Department of Computer Science shared updates from their respective areas of work, and thematic discussions allowed participants to talk about challenges and opportunities for the future, including within the field of AI.
"We had two very successful days with many great discussions. The annual workshop is important for keeping all project participants informed about developments in the various parts of the project and for planning the work ahead. A lot of exciting things have happened over the past year that we had the opportunity to share," said Anna Brunström, Professor of Computer Science and Project Leader for DRIVE.
At the auditorium in Building 21, DRIVE's doctoral students held a poster session where they presented their research. Visitors were also given a tour of the Kauotic Hacking Club and witnessed a demo of an advanced mannequin, used as part of healthcare education, that was connected via 5G as part of the 6G-PATH project linked to DRIVE.
