Economic AI and HPC Forum (STEP-AI)

Artificial (Anorganic) Intelligence (AI) is no longer a question of the future – it is already transforming the way companies operate, make decisions, and gain competitive advantage. The key question is no longer whether to use AI, but how to implement it effectively, scalably, and profitably.

Pradeeban Kathiravelu, an assistant professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA), USA, will give an invited lecture at the SSE. He is currently a visiting researcher at the Juraj Dobrila University of Pula within the project Human-Centered System Design for Equitable and Sustainable Digital Societies (EQUISYS).
 
 

The circumpolar north, which includes Arctic regions such as Alaska, Canada, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Russia, and Sweden, faces major challenges due to extreme climate conditions, remoteness, and historically limited internet access, although LEO satellite networks like Starlink are improving connectivity. These developments open new possibilities for distributed computing, especially in critical areas such as telehealth, where remote communities can access medical care despite distance and high network latency. They also support climate research, particularly the monitoring and prediction of Arctic sea ice extent and coastal erosion, which is essential for planning adaptation and relocation strategies in the face of climate change.

The MIPRO 2026 program booklet is published. It contains the schedule of events and other important information (deadlines, registration fees, accommodation booking etc.). The program can be dowloaded here. 

One part of the program can be accessed free of charge - plenary part, CRO-IGF forum, round table on autonomous vehicles and exhibition. For other parts of the convention, it is necessary to pay the registration fee. 

Register for the MIPRO 2026 international ICT convention!

Take the opportunity and do it as soon as possible. The early registration deadline is May 15. After that date, the registration is still possible, but at a higher fee.

As digital technologies continue to shape modern society, ensuring their accessibility and inclusivity becomes an essential responsibility for future engineers. Željka Car, Full Professor at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University of Zagreb, will deliver an invited lecture at the upcoming EE conference. 
 

The lecture will highlight key concepts such as universal design and assistive technologies, alongside a teaching approach based on project-based learning and the use of emerging technologies. Particular emphasis is placed on multidisciplinary collaboration, bringing together engineering students and faculty with experts from social sciences, as well as involving end users directly in the development process.
 

At the upcoming ICTLAW conference, an invited lecture will be delivered by Goran Vojković, Full Professor at University North, who will address the important issue of responsibility and risk management in digital public administration.
 

The digital transformation of public administration has introduced highly structured electronic processes that enable full traceability of every step in administrative procedures. While such systems significantly improve formal compliance and transparency, they also reveal a less visible issue: the fact that every action is recorded does not necessarily mean that responsibility for managing processes, compliance, and legal risks is clearly defined.

“Tesla’s Beacon of Knowledge” Award Committee made a decision to accept two proposals.
