Cours/séminaire

Many well-known examples exist of elastic structures displaying distinctly different states under load, most commonly when they buckle, and there is considerable interest to design materials and structures capable of switching from one deformation state to another for functional purposes. In the world of structures, efforts are underway to exploit multi-state configurations especially in the design of foldable or collapsible structures.

Guillaume Rosinosky is a post-doc researcher who will present StreamBed: capacity planning for stream processing Distributed Stream Processing (DSP) supports long-lived processing jobs over continuous data.

DSP engines scale out to support parallel processing of incoming data, until they reach the necessary volume of resources. Determining in advance the necessary resources or their configuration for long-running, large-scale jobs is desirable but difficult, as such jobs exhibit non-trivial scaling behaviors or responses to configuration changes.

The evidence that the anthropogenic alteration of the earth’s carbon balance is leading to climate change, together with the confirmation of its consequences, clearly indicates the necessity of finding new routes for energy provision. To mitigate climate change, and to keep global warming well below 2°C, we will likely need a large amount of variable renewable energy sources, and energy storage to compensate for their variability on multiple time scales.

Besides my daily fundamental and applied research activities on green hydrogen production based on alkaline water electrolysis, I have been involved as well over the past 5 years in writing and reviewing some of the more techo-economical hydrogen reports from the International Energy Agency (IEA).
