Multi-Agent Pathfinding in Automatic Warehouses: An Overview After 15 Years of Research

Speaker:Prof. Roni SternBen-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel Date: 3 December 2025Time: 13:30–14:30 (GMT+3, Istanbul Time)Platform: Online (Registration required) 📚 Abstract Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) has evolved from a theoretical combinatorial search problem into a foundational technology for real-world deployed systems. In this talk, Prof. Stern will focus on one such application: large-scale automated warehouses, where fleets of robots transport goods efficiently and safely. The lecture will begin with the classical MAPF problem formulation, in which multiple agents Devamı

Dear Computer Society Turkiye members, We would like to announce to you the IEEE Computer Society Türkiye Master Thesis Awards. We consider these awards essential to recognize and introduce members who contribute to science in our branch. An award ceremony will be organized within the scope of the 10th International Conference on Computer Science and Engineering (UBMK 2025) for the authors and supervisors of the master’s theses who have earned the right to receive an Devamı

Communication, Computation, and Privacy Trade-off in Machine Learning for Smart Environments

An IEEE CS Türkiye Chapter Talk by Prof. Dr. Damla Turgut Smart assistive environments support elderly and disabled users by adapting to their needs using machine learning. However, these systems often lack sufficient data, leading to a reliance on centralized learning—which raises serious privacy concerns. This talk explores the trade-offs between privacy, computation, and benefit in data sharing across local, cloud, and federated learning settings. We highlight that data sharing should only occur when it Devamı

How remouldable computer hardware is speeding up science

Michael Reiser is, as he puts it, “fanatical about timing”. A neuroscientist at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Janelia Research Campus in Ashburn, Virginia, Reiser studies fly vision. Some of his experiments involve placing flies in an immersive virtual-reality arena and seamlessly redrawing the scene while tracking how the insects respond. Modern PCs, with their complex operating systems and multitasking central processing units (CPUs), cannot guarantee the temporal precision required. So Reiser, together with engineers Devamı

Top 8 Reasons Why Python is So Popular

We are all aware that Python has been one of the most popular languages for some time now. There is a big requirement for skilled Python programmers. A lot of companies are looking for people possessing expertise in Python. What are the reasons Python is so much in demand? Reasons Why Python Programming is so popular: Data Science According to Forbes, 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are generated per day in the world. This kind of Devamı

Brain Computer Interface

Humans controlling machines with their minds may sound like something from a sci-fi movie, but it’s becoming a reality through brain-computer interfaces. Understanding this emerging technology now can help ensure that effective policies are in place before BCI becomes a part of everyday life. Three drones lift off, filling the air with their telltale buzz. They slowly sail upward as a fleet—evenly spaced and level—and then hover aloft. On the ground, the pilot isn’t holding Devamı

How AI is shaping the cybersecurity arms race

The average business receives 10,000 alerts every day from the various software tools it uses to monitor for intruders, malware and other threats. Cybersecurity staff often find themselves inundated with data they need to sort through to manage their cyber defenses. The stakes are high. Cyberattacks are increasing and affect thousands of organizations and millions of people in the U.S. alone. These challenges underscore the need for better ways to stem the tide of cyber-breaches. Artificial intelligence is particularly well suited Devamı
