The 44th edition of the Argentinian computer science seminars

The Argentina Society for Computer Science (SADIO) is organizing the 44th edition of the Argentinian computer science seminars. They will take place from August 31 to September 4th at the Rosario University Campus. International researchers, professors, undergraduate and graduate students are expected to gather for this event. In the last edition, about 8000 participants presented 195 works and posters, which added to the other internal workshops and panels made almost 290 presentations and activities. Activities such as the Argentinian seminar for Big Data will be of great interest for students and researchers specialized in large scale computing and data intensive systems. A complete list of the activities can be found at the JAIIO 2015 website. Last year, the event featured talks from Intel and Facebook among other big players of the data intensive computing community.

Many activities are organized, including several student contests. In a previous edition, engineering students Cecilia Balesteri, Araceli Martin and Cecilia Romitti presented a model of neural network that could estimate the risk of student withdrawal in their engineering faculty. They won one of the prizes given at the event. They estimate the experience as a wonderful opportunity to extend their knowledge and to meet many academic and industrial researchers. 

This is a wonderful opportunity for students to meet with students from other universities and exchange their experience and vision of the domain. It is also a good occasion to interact with international researchers for those looking for internship opportunities or to continue their studies abroad.
