ISRC Open day in June 2008.

ISRC Open day was held on 6th June 2008 in MPI. The topic was "Safe, Secure and Sustainable Communications". The purpose of the open day was to exhibit our latest research outcomes to the publics and also sketch future research hot topics and trends in the IT filed. Three main keynote speeches were giving to audience including students, government agencies and local enterprises.

Prof. Cuthbert's talk summarised the latest researches and outcomes from the centre, he also introduced the lasted research hot topic: sustainable communications, which concentrate on how to reduce the energy consumed by modern wireless communication networks. Dr. Bigham gave a talk about the current e-government security project, the latest results and outcome was discussed. Mr. Li from Nokia Simens Network also gave an interesting talk about WiFi Mesh network, which can provide city wide WiFi coverage without having to build expensive core networks.

keep tuned for future research open days!

STDF visited ISRC and audited the "Protecting e-Government" project.

On 24th September, 2007, STDF visited our lab and audited the "Protecting e-Government" project. After we presented the latest progress and system demonstrations to the auditors, the auditors gave us highly positive feedback and recognized our efforts. The security project is a 2-year project which is partially founded by STDF and aim to build a novel security safeguard system protecting Macao e-Government. The project started in January 2007.

ISRC exhibited at Macao Technology Week 2007

ISRC has always been active in local development of information technology. We joint MPI as one of the exhibitors of 2007 Technology Week of Macau. We presented our latest research outputs including live demos to the public, which interested by many visitors.

ISRC exhibited its research outcome at CHTF ShenZhen

ISRC along with MPI will exhibit its latest research outcomes at the China Hi-Tech Fair 2006 (CHTF), on 12th - 17th, October 2006.  CHTF is a state-level, grand international fair and is held annually in fall in Schenzhen since 1999. The CHTF consists of four primary activities: the commercialization of technological innovation, specialized show, the China Hi-Tech Forum and year-round business matching services. 

ISRC along with MPI exhibition stand showed the latest research outcomes and also live demonstrations to the audience.

Xu Yang won the first ever NCAF Paper Competition in UK:

Xu Yang won the first ever Natural Computing Applications Forum (NCAF) Student Paper Competition in 14^th September 2006. This competition was open researchers worked in the “Natural Computing” field. Papers reviewed by a panel of judges from Industry and Academia, and two finalists were selected to give their final presentations in Bristol meeting. The delegates in the audience scored the paper in four different aspects: problem definition, results and solution, presentation, and defense. Xu was adjudged to be the winner.  She was awarded a certificate and a £150 book voucher as the prize.

Xu proposed an approach for learning call admission control (CAC) policies in a cellular network that handles several classes of traffic with different resource requirements. She is the first person to apply a form of NeuroEvolution algorithm to inductively learn the CAC policies. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme is capable of achieving CAC goals in the presence of smoothly varying arrival rates of traffic, in which the state space is too huge to do in practice for the other learning scheme.

 

ISRC Won 1.3 Million Security Project:

ISRC has won 1.3 Million Patacas fund from Science and Technology Development Fund (STDF) of Macao,  the fund was for a project that will build a intelligent security system which can protect e-Government from fraud and cyber attack.
