Call-for-ArgHuments + Workshop ArgHumantation

Argumentation Hub (ARGH) is a collaborative and multidisciplinary laboratory created within the scope of the Media Innovation Labs (MIL) of Oporto University, having as its main objective the theme of argumentation, a topic of research transversal to several scientific areas.

Argh’s mission is to promote multidisciplinary investigation in argumentation. Learning by practicing , the ARGH intends to conduct applied research to produce interesting applications of argumentative technologies, in particular in the field of digital media.

Until April 30, a Call-for-ArgHuments is open to any person, student, teacher or researcher, who has an interest in the topic and an idea or research results on Argumentation; The ArgHuments will be presented on the afternoon of May 3, 2018, as part of the ArgHumantation Workshop — Research and Practice(s) of Argumentation.

DEI Partnership and Tondela’s Town Hall

A students group from the Computer Engineering Department at Oporto Engineering Faculty is developing a mobile application that aims to help identify landowners in need of cleaning. This project, entitled “Safe Forest”, is being developed in partnership with the Tondela city in order to prevent forest fires, in this area extremely affected in October last year.

 

After an initial visit in February 2018 of the Computer Engineering Department, led by its director João Cardoso and some subsequent conversations with Tondela city, it was defined that the software and applications will be developed within the curricular unit of Laboratory Management Project (LGP). A students team, who meanwhile created the fictitious company APPly, are working together with the GnR Prevention and Relief Intervention Group (GIPS) and other local agents in order to develop a functional prototype in the creation of a forest register that can identify to whom each territory belongs, as well as the state of cleanliness and conservation , and collect relevant information to help prevent future fires. It also aims to promote more active citizenship by allowing citizens to contribute data and reporting problems in the application.

 

The project is being guided by Ademar Aguiar Professor, specialized in Software Engineering, and integrates students of Computer Engineering, Multimedia, Service Engineering and Management of FEUP, as well as Communication Design students of Fine Arts Faculty (FBAUP).

After an initial visit, in February 2018, from the Department of Informatics Engineering, led by its director João Cardoso and some subsequent conversations with the Municipality of Tondela, it was defined that the software and applications will be developed within the curricular unit of Laboratory of Project Management (LGP).

It also seeks to promote more active citizenship by allowing citizens to contribute data and reporting problems in implementation.

XVI Information Science journeys – Information management: 20 years of formation at the Oporto University

Every year the Bachelor’s degree and the Master’s degree in Information Science come together to carry out an initiative that promotes the dissemination of Information Science in the student community and in the labor market, the Information Science Days.

This year is the XVI edition, with the theme: “Information Management: 20 years of training at the Oporto University”, in the auditorium of the Oporto Engineering Faculty.

Throughout the day we will have the presence of several speakers and the testimony of former students who will help us discuss the theme of this edition.

The XVI Days of Information Science also mark the celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the Information Management Master’s degree, as well as the tenth anniversary of the Information Science Master’s degree whose genesis is based on the previous one.

To celebrate this milestone we will have the presence of Tom Wilson, Professor Emeritus of Sheffield  University whose work promoted wide advances in Information Management, to carry out the opening keynote of the event

 

The reception of participants will begin at 8:30 am next to the Engineering Faculty auditorium.

Participation in the Days is free of charge although registration is required.
