10:00 → 17:00 Embedded Systems

The Embedded Systems track will concentrate on the following subjects:

Quadcopter Control - autonomous flying robot
Swarm Robotics - design, develop and test of swarm algorithms on existing robots
Biometric Electromiograph Hand Control
Wireless Sensor Networks - measure and monitor and upload environmental parameters to online repositories
Robot Control - program and control an autonomous robot using the posture and gestures of a human operator
Multicore Association MCAPI applications on distribute PCs (shared memory) and on PC+FPGA combination (message passing)

10:00 → 17:00 High Performance Scientific Computing

The High Performance Scientific Computing track will mainly focus on the following topics:

Scientific Applications in Seismology
Scientific Applications in Meteorology
Scientific Applications in Molecular-Dynamics
Scientific Applications in Aerospace and Astrophysics
Automatic Differentiation of Java Programs
EagleEye - 3D model of Romania - satallite and map image processing
Intensive data-processing of audio and video media
Parallel Raytracing and advanced physics simulations using Blender and Bullet
Administration and performance tuning in large-scale Computing Clusters
Update of the HPC-Primer of the NCIT Computing Cluster

10:00 → 17:00 Mobile Programming (Android)

The Mobile Programming track will focus on topics in three areas:

M-learning (mobile learning): modern learning techniques take advantage of the opportunities offered by mobile technologies; besides mobility, portable devices offer native methods of enabling collaboration and information sharing;
Remote Control: learn how the sensing capabilities of your mobile device (accelerometer, compass, touch screen) can provide the means to control a drone and a robotic arm;
Games and multimedia: put the hardware capabilities of the mobile device to the test and see what it means to create graphical rich applications.

Working on mobile applications (for Android, Windows 8 and BlackBerry OS), students will learn and experiment with features, such as: camera, sensors (movement, light, compass etc.), graphics, text-to-speach, voice commands and many more. Moreover, the students will interact with participants from the other two tracks, gathering ideas for interdisciplinary applications, while working in a diverse and fun social environment.

10:00 → 17:00 Open Source Code Development

The Open Source track technical seminars will cover the topics below:

Open Source Software Project Management: Wikis, Bug Tracking
Editors and Efficient Editing
Version Control Systems
Reading Code and Coding Style
Python
Graphical User Interfaces
Object Oriented Programming
Design Patterns
Unit Testing
Integrated Development Environments

The technical seminars will present tools and technologies coupled with practical activities where participants will get a grip of how and when should they be using them.

13:00 → 14:00 Lunch Break
