TAROT (Training And Research On Testing) is a network created to foster the mobility of students, faculty members and research scientists working in the field of testing of software and communication systems. Because of its success, this network continued beyond its original Marie Curie Research Training Network funding.
This summer school brings together lecturers, researchers, students and people from the industry across Europe for one week of presentations, discussions and getting to know each other.
The main goal of the TAROT Summer School is to give researchers and particularly PhD students the opportunity to follow a number of tutorials or invited talks by key experts in the field. The TAROT Summer School is open to researchers from any institution in the world, working in the area of testing, both from academia and from industry.

O Laboratório de Inteligência Artificial e Ciência de Computadores é o responsável pela organização da summer school que decorrerá na FEUP de 20 a 24 de julho de 2020.
A escola funciona com base em tutoriais, sendo que neste momento está a circular a call respetiva. https://paginas.fe.up.pt/~easss2020/call-for-tutorials/

A Professora do DEI Ana Paiva foi premiada pela conferência ISSRE – International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering. Esta conferência comemora 30 anos e decidiu selecionar 26 artigos considerados os mais influentes destes 30 anos. O artigo “A pattern-based approach for GUI modeling and testing”, publicado em 2013, foi um dos 26 artigos considerados os mais influentes.

A estudante do Mestrado Integrado em Bioengenharia Catarina Lourenço, orientada pelo Prof. Luís Teixeira e pelo Prof. Michel van Putten (University of Twente), ganhou o Fraunhofer Portugal Challenge para tese de mestrado.

O candidato Ivo Jorge Meireles de Sousa Teixeira defendeu ontem, 25 de julho de 2018, a sua tese de Doutoramento em Medias Digitais. Orientado pelo Doutor José Miguel Santos Araújo Carvalhais Fonseca, tinha como tema ”O Espaço Aumentado na Experiência Artística: Ecrãs, Sistemas e Contextos Físicos”.

Os nossos parabéns.

— DEADLINE FOR PRELIMINARY APPLICATION PHASE: 30/JULY/2018 —
The Ph.D. Programme in Informatics Engineering at the University of Porto is starting a groundbreaking funding initiative in collaboration with some of the leading IT companies in Portugal to support outstanding candidates in areas including machine learning, artificial intelligence, software engineering, blockchain and others.
The funding includes:
-a monthly grant of 1100€ (above the value of the portuguese national grants, 980€)
-tuition fees
-some additional funding for traveling and equipment
-2 MSc grants/year, to be supervised by the PhD student
The candidate should have a very strong background in Informatics engineering, computer science and, ideally in artificial intelligence/machine learning.
The first grant is funded by InovRetail and aims to develop a platform for prescriptive analytics to automate decision making processes based on predictive models. The project will be supervised by Carlos Soares.
Interested students should send a 1 page PDF document to csoares@fe.up.pt — UNTIL 30/JULY/2018 —, containing:
-a summarized CV
-a one paragraph statement of why you should be selected for the grant
Additional advantages of this initiative are:
-a PhD project tightly coupled with industry and focused on problems of great interest to industry;
-Access to training activities and workshops promoted by the funding company (including training on additional technical areas and soft skills);
-Advice on writing the cv, on best ways to behave on interviews, on time management, etc.
-Privileged access to technical reports and technology;
-Advise on business plans and IP (registration, patent applications, etc.)
-Privileged access to investors investor capital and startup programs;
-Possibility to achieve higher impact based on the combination of two worlds (academia + industry) and on the associated  resources;
-Influence and propose future technology, methodologies, and practices (Informatics Engineering of the Future);
-Acquire the expertise to strongly contribute to decision making in terms of technology;
The Ph.D. project will be carried out at the Department of Informatics Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, one of the most dynamic and fastest growing departments of the U. Porto.
