Awards showered on Computer Science

• Nurul Momen, who received the Best Poster Award at NordSec in Oslo. The title of the poster is “User Perception Analysis for Showing Personal Data Access as Privacy Implication Factor”.

• Dejene Boru Oljira, who received the Best Paper Award at Networks of the Future in Poznan. The paper, “MDTCP: Towards a Practical Multipath Congestion Control for Telco Cloud Datacenters”, is co-authored by Karl-Johan Grinnemo, Anna Brunström and Javid Taheri.

• Michel Gokan, who received the Best Demo Award at the IEEE Conference on Network Function Virtualization and Software Defined Networks in Verona. The demo is based on the paper “Automated Analysis and Profiling of Virtual Network Functions: the NFV-Inspector Approach”, co-authored by Javid Taheri, Andreas Kassler and Marian Darula (Ericsson).

• David Johansson, who received the Student Travel Award at the IEEE Conference on Network Function Virtualization and Software Defined Networks. The paper, “On the Energy Cost of Robustness and Resiliency for Virtual Network Function Placement”, is co-authored by Andreas Kassler and Javid Taheri.

“I note with great pride and admiration that awards have been showered on us recently,” says Karl-Johan Grinnemo, head of Computer Science at Karlstad University. “These awards are further proof that our research is absolutely topnotch. Since I know how much hard work lies behind such recognition, I can only agree with the motto Illis quorum meruere labores, that is, ‘for those whose labours have deserved it’”.
