Quantifying Inter-City Network Latency in Europe: A Measurement based Study for Time-Critical Cloud Services 3rd Workshop on Engineering Techniques for Distributed Computing Continuum Systems (EDCCS), 22-25 June 2026, Seoul, South Korea Authors: Thomas Schleicher, Kurt Horvath, Dragi Kimovski, Bernd Spiess, Oliver Hohlfeld Abstract: Time-critical cloud and edge services depend on predictable and low-latency wide-area connectivity, […]
On 20 April, Alison Grant, the Canadian ambassador to Austria, visited the University of Klagenfurt. As a part of an exclusive delegation, Dr. Felix Schniz accompanied the ambassador on a tour through campus grounds and the Lakeside Science & Technology Park, showcasing the appeal of the interdisciplinary Master’s Programme Game Studies and Engineering, the role […]
On 16 April, Dr Felix Schniz (ITEC) organised a guest talk and workshop by Flavia Mazzanti and Manuel Bornell from Immerea (www.immerea.com). Supported by the FTF and co-organised by DI Dr. Martina Tritthart (Visuelle Kultur), the dual event introduced students of both programmes and visitors alike to contemporary digital art in the era of VR […]
Title: Token-Wise Attention-Guided Semantic Quality Assessment for Compressed Visual Features Authors: Shien Ke, Changsheng Gao, Hadi Amirpour, Zhihua Wang, Xaoyan Sun Event: QoMEX 2026, Cardiff, UK, June 29th – July 3rd, 2026 Abstract: In collaborative and distributed intelligent systems, compressed intermediate features are routinely transmitted and reused, making semantic quality assessment (SQA) crucial for reliable deployment. Recent compressed feature […]
Title: Quality-Complexity Trade-off for Sustainable Media Delivery Authors: Hadi Amirpour, Christian Herglotz, Lingfeng Qu, Wei Zhou, Christian Timmerer Event: QoMEX 2026, Cardiff, UK, June 29th – July 3rd, 2026 Abstract: Sustainable media delivery increasingly requires joint optimization across perceptual quality, bitrate, and computational cost, yet codec comparisons are often reported only in rate-distortion terms without accounting for energy […]
Title: Dynamic Participatory Game Design with Local AI: From Interviews to Trauma-Aware Interactive Narratives Authors: Kseniia Harshina, Tom Tucek, Mathias Lux Location: TextStory 2026 – Delft, The Netherlands, March 2026 Abstract: We present a work-in-progress, trauma-aware participatory storytelling pipeline that uses a locally hosted large language model (LLM) as a neutral chatbot interviewer. The system supports self-paced […]
