The Scaleout team, in close collaboration with ISCL, was granted SEK 2.1M to explore the use of secure enclaves to increase the veracity in federated learning. Read more about the project here: https://www.scaleoutsystems.com/post/trusted-execution-environment-for-federated-learning
The stream processing framework HarmonicIO is a prototype that addresses the needs for processing streams based on relatively large individual objects. In this regard, it is a specialized streaming framework well-suited for scientific workflows. Salman Toor and Oliver Stein presented this work, and our latest publication Smart Resource Management for Data Streaming using an Online…

The practical problems that arise when going from simple models to big models include: Most simulation algorithms do not scale well to high dimensions. Simulation can becomes prohibitively expensive due to the multiscale nature of systems. Failure of traditional engineering methodology such as sensitivity analysis and optimization due to high dimensionality, non-linearities and stochasticity…. ……
It is with mixed feelings that we say goodbye to Stefan and Annas. Both have contributed with lots of energy and science to the group, but will now move on. Stefan to a role in industry, and Anass to an assistant professorship at Ecole Centrale Casablanca. You will both be missed, and thank you so…
