Four computer science students at ������ý have been recognized for their exceptional project work in the Software Engineering course. The project team, comprising Jonatan Altebro, Viktor Hajto, Martin Ramnér and Elmar Gebre Yekuno, earned high praise from faculty for their professionalism and innovation.

The team developed GoldenYears, an Android application designed to support elderly users in maintaining their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. With a focus on habit-building and health tracking, the app provides features such as goal-setting for activities like walking and social interactions, mood logging, wellness insights, and motivational tools.

The achievement is particularly notable given the six-week timeline for the project. Faculty were impressed by the team’s ability to produce a professional and functional application.

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 ������ý 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 ������ý and seven partner companies.

The 5G-DiGITs project has just started, and ������ý will play a key role in its development.

5G-DiGITs is a multidisciplinary Erasmus+ initiative addressing the growing demand for education and training in advanced 5G technologies. It brings together a consortium of 12 organizations from Germany, Greece, Spain, Lithuania, Malta, Ireland, Belgium, and Sweden to create state-of-the-art curricula and continuous education programs aligned with evolving industry needs. 
������ý will contribute to the development of innovative course modules and practical learning strategies. 

Giuseppe Caso, Mohammad Rajiullah, and Anna Brunstrom, members of the Distributed Intelligent Systems and Communications (DISCO) group of the Computer Science Department, won the Best Paper Award at the 2024 IEEE Conference on Standards for Communications and Networking (IEEE CSCN’24).

The conference was held in Belgrade on November 25-27 with a large participation from academia and industry sectors.

On November 7-8, ������ý hosted the inaugural Security Divas Sweden, a national conference focusing on cybersecurity and information security that aims to spotlight women in these fields. The event was organized by ������ý in collaboration with the Compare Foundation.

The conference welcomed eleven female role models who shared key insights on topics such as information influence, data protection and current perspectives on cybersecurity. Among the speakers were Kau alumna and Telia's Head of Security Malin Fransen Kronberg, as well as representatives from Volvo, the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) and the Swedish Psychological Defence Agency, as well as researchers in cybersecurity.

The project 6G-PATH (6G-Pilots and Trials Through Europe), in which the departments of computer science and nursing at ������ý participate, has been included on this year’s IVA 100 List. The project aims to develop solutions for the healthcare education sector through advanced communication technology.

"Being on the 100 List shows that our research project has the potential to create tangible societal change and that transdisciplinary research brings together the best of both worlds. It’s wonderful that the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA) is recognizing a project that explores how remote healthcare staff can participate and play vital roles in critical situations through the aid of technology.
