A research Group for Computational & Information Systems at the Department of Electronics, with the University of Split, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture in Split deals with advanced organizational and architectural concepts of computational and information systems. In addition to faculty group members, Prof. Gotovac is currently supervising five PhD students (one from university and four from industry), while Prof. Čelar is supervising four PhD students (two from university and two from industry) and Prof. Vicković one from the university. The Group has established a “Computer architecture and operating systems lab”. Laboratory is equipped with computers with different operating systems and virtualization platforms devoted to research activities on the computer systems interoperability and virtualization platforms.
We will continue the research at CERN related to the modelling and application of distributed computer systems, ie simulation and development of models for optimal allocation of computer resources and the impact of disk subsystems on the overall performance of data storage and processing systems. This is especially interesting due to the need to upgrade the ALICE disk system, which is planned to expand to approximately 300 PB, and it is necessary to create a mathematical model of such a system that would serve to select the optimal solution. This will be the topic of one doctoral dissertation.
Within this research we will continue to analyse areal images used by Croatian Mountain Rescue Service for the search and rescue missions. On-line and off-line image processing algorithms from drones will be investigated. Further work is planned on the improvement of the developed referent image databases that would be used for further processing using various artificial intelligence and machine learning methods. It is planned to complete one doctoral dissertation and publish the paper in a journal.
Research at CERN extends to the computing paradigm of cloud computing.
In cooperation with HAKOM and HVZ, it is planned to continue research into the use of unmanned aerial vehicles in fire prevention and extinguishing actions.
