CTS is part of the consortium Associated Laboratory of Intelligent Systems (LASI) which recently received the status of Associated Laboratory by the Portuguese National Science Foundation, becoming the first Portuguese Associated Lab. focused on Artificial Intelligence. LASI integrates thirteen Research Units from eight Institutions geographically distributed throughout the country, namely: ALGORITMI, CISUC, CEBIT, 2Ai, LIACC, TEMA, CMUP, CTS, IPC, IEETA, UNIDEMI, CISTER, and GECAD

Luís M. Camarinha-Matos, Manuel D. Ortigueira and Rita A. Ribeiro, integrated researchers at the Center of Technology and Systems (CTS), were ranked among the top 2% of the world’s most highly-cited scientists, in their respective fields, according to a new study published by Stanford University (USA).

Prof. John Ioannidis and his team from Stanford University, used Scopus to create a publicly available database of 100,000 top-scientists that provides standardized information on citations, h-index, co-authorship adjusted hm-index, citations to papers in different authorship positions and a composite indicator.

In this ranking, scientists are classified into 22 scientific fields and 176 sub-fields. Field- and subfield-specific percentiles are also provided for all scientists who have published at least 5 papers. The list includes 384 Portuguese researchers, of which 30 are from Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, of which 22 are from the NOVA School of Science and Technology. The study is available here.

The Advanced Doctoral Conference on Computing, Electrical and Industrial Systems is celebrating its 12th edition (DoCEIS 2021) with a focus on Technological Innovation for Applied Artificial Intelligence Systems. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rebuilding and changing society’s basic constructs - such as economy, health, education and lifestyle - through the implementation of intelligent algorithms on everyday applications and promoting technological advancements that allow for a better and more sustainable quality of life.
