As usual, the annual OpenAlt conference was held at the Faculty of Information Technology on the first weekend of November. The conference connects the world of open source and topics from software, hardware, data processing and computer security, as well as the topics of open data in public administration and in the private sector and open access to scientific information. |

How to make the automata technology more efficient so that the number of theoretically known application opportunities for finite-state machines can be realised in practice? The VeriFIT research group will look for new ways to achieve this goal as Lukáš Holík received a grant from the ERC CZ programme for the following five years. This national prestigious programme of support for research, experimental development and innovations provides funding for projects that were not supported at the European level due to insufficient funds within the European call. In the call, only seven projects were selected for the entire Czech Republic and the one selected for BUT is from the team at FIT. The project is concerned with research of technology for effective work with finite-state machines in applications such as verification and analysis of security of web applications and programmes handling data chains, programmes with indicator data structures, as well as in network operation inspection or in search for patterns. |

Today, the Git versioning system is the number 1 system for maintaining software projects. Come to try and to learn working with Git and join millions of developers who use Git in their every day work. The workshop will be held by engineers from Red Hat. |

Martin Kišš of the Department of Computer Graphics and Multimedia won the award for the best poster at the 15th ICDAR conference in Sydney. ICDAR is the largest and most prestigious international assembly for scientists and experts engaged in document analysis and recognition. Martin Kišš participated in the conference with an article describing the creation of a B-MOD dataset, which he presented at the event using the poster for which he subsequently received the Best Poster Award. You can see the poster HERE. |

From the beginning of the semester, all lecture halls, laboratories and conference and seminar rooms at the FIT are equipped with a new audio-visual technology - projectors, screens, signal components and cabling. The faculty thus completed the second stage of modernisation of the technology and equipment in teaching premises. The first stage of the modernisation took place last year, when almost all the AV technology in lecture halls was replaced. The modifications mostly concerned the lecture halls in building E, where the faculty also had the floors, teachers' desks and lighting replaced - the original lighting was replaced with more cost-effective LED lighting. This year, the AV technology was also replaced in the laboratories, conference and seminar rooms. "The modernisation of AV technology included primarily digitalisation of signal transmission and transition to Full HD resolution or higher, both in terms of projection and recording of lectures. Signals are transmitted between the devices either via HDMI or HDBaseT technology using classic UTP cabling, which is cheap, easy to install and durable; moreover, it was possible to use the existing cabling at some places. Sound is sent between lecture halls and technical rooms via the computer network using the Dante protocol," explains Jana Skokanová from the FIT Computer Centre. Further changes are planned for the next year, in particular in lecture hall D where floors and furniture will be repaired and lighting replaced, just like in the other lecture halls. |
