The article, written by the head of Laboratory of Parallel and Distributed Systems, got featured in the February issue of the newsletter.

The paper details the functions of the team’s model-based flight control system, developed for the flexible winged test plane, build under the H2020 FLEXOP project.

One of the most important tasks of governing bodies in sports is to distribute the revenue generated by all participants in a fair way. László Csató, a research fellow of the Labora-tory on Engineering and Management Intelligence, Research Group of Operations Re-search and Decision Systems – together with his PhD student, Dóra Gréta Petróczy (Cor-vinus University of Budapest) – has written a paper on this topic entitled “Revenue allo-cation in Formula One: a pairwise comparison approach”, which has recently appeared in International Journal of General Systems.

The paper is published by ELKH SZTAKI director László Monostori and head of Research Laboratory on Engineering & Management Intelligence, József Váncza.

“One of the main goals of the Cooperative Doctoral Program is to expand the number of research-development-innovation employees – mostly in mathematics, natural sciences, engineering and information technology – whom are about to amplify their knowledge with the most up to date scientific results, and also engaged about to use their profession to gain social and economic benefits” – says the official site of the program.

Csató László, a research fellow of the Laboratory on Engineering and Management Intelligence, Research Group of Operations Research and Decision Systems has recently written a book on this topic, which is part of the Palgrave Pivots in Sports Economics series under the title “Tournament Design (How Operations Research Can Improve Sport Rules)”.

How to model production and logistic processes? Where to use simulation modelling at all? Should we even? These questions were all addressed during a full day training of EPIC Centre of Excellence that took place on the 20th of November.

Róbert Lovas presented online during the December Science Meetup event to talk about the details of how SZTAKI and Wigner Research Centre for Physics were using ELKH Cloud to model the spread of the coronavirus.

SZTAKI and Integrity Kft. held a co-organized cybersecurity webinar on the 19th of November 2020. MELASZ and RSOE were also participated the public event. More than a hundred viewers followed the webinar.

Goal of the EGI Federation is to ship open and advanced solutions in the fields of computing and data analysis for international research and innovation. To achieve this, the Federation combines the infrastructure, services and proficiency of its members, covering as many fields as possible, while also supporting cooperation abroad.

Professor József Bokor, science director of SZTAKI and academic of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, was awarded the Szabó András award by the Ministry of Internal Affairs Science Committee during the celebrational closure of the Hungarian Science Festival 2020 on the 27th of November 2020.

SZTAKI, Wigner Research Centre for Physics and Eötvös Loránd Research Network (ELKH) held its professional gathering titled “ELKH Cloud in service of science: past, present, future” on Zoom and Youtube due to the pandemic on the 28th of October 2020.

A keynote lecture about multi-sensorial environment perception has been given at the International Conference on Robotics, Computer Vision and Intelligent Systems (ROBOVIS), by Csaba Benedek, a researcher of the Machine Perception Research Laboratory (MPLab).

During the last week of November 2020, at the premises of HUNGEXPO   park, the joint exhibition of INDUSTRY DAYS  and AUTOMOTIVE-Hungary organized the famous TECH-TOGETHER contest among 12 university student-groups. The contest was managed by the AUTOPRO and the Scientific Society  for Mechanical Engineers (GTE). 

The faculty councils reasoning was Monostori’s “several decades of valuable and internationally appreciated research on cyber-physical manufacturing systems and widespread implementation of its results”.

On the 22nd of October 2020, SZTAKI’s researchers held a beginner’s course about the research and science cloud service ELKH Cloud in front of more than 120 attendees, gaining a huge amount of attention. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, visitors joined online.

Work on Hungary’s Artificial Intelligence Strategy is finished, announced László Palkovics, minister of innovation and technology on the 8th of September 2020.

On the 19th of November 2019, an aircraft with aeroelastically tailored wings flew in real environment for the first time in the world. The wings carbon fibre composite orientation is changing by the wind’s direction. The flight of the craft that was developed under the SZTAKI-lead international project FLEXOP was to test ease passive damping of the load on the wings. SZTAKI has also responsible for building and functioning the board aviation (electric flight) system, including sensors and batteries inside the wings, and the autopilot system’s software and hardware components. With these, the craft is viable for repeatable experiments to collect data.

Researchers of SZATKI participate in the Horizon 2020 AIDPATH project that aims to facilitate the so-called CAR-T therapies tailored to individual patients by using the cutting-edge achievements in artificial intelligence as well as production planning and scheduling techniques. The results are expected to be utilized in hematology, oncology, and handling various contagious and immune diseases.
