Speaker: **Hrvoje Novak, Anita Banjac,** **LARES - Laboratory for Renewable Energy Systems - FER** Title: **Python as a Research Workhorse: From Data to Optimal Control in Smart City Systems** Python is often seen as a glue language for automation and data analysis, but in research it becomes a powerful platform for modeling, optimization, and control. We show how it is used to build advanced decision-support and control algorithms for large-scale technical systems – starting from real-world measurements and nonlinear system models, we move through machine learning and optimization-based control, illustrating how these pieces come together in real smart city applications. We will take a behind-the-scenes look at how advanced control solutions are built, tested, and deployed in complex, real-world systems. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- We are in for a treat! Join us on **Tuesday** at MaMa to hear researchers from FER share their experiences from projects they did with industry partners solving real-world problems on a scale. Drinks and friendly discussion afterwards at [Old Pharmacy Pub](https://maps.app.goo.gl/AeaRdnBrMqPiRhvPA) 🍻🍷🥤☕️

\| Neki istraživački projekti trebaju prenijeti ogromne količine podataka\. Korištenje stolnog računala i uobičajene mreže možda nije najbolja opcija za postizanje optimalnih performansi\. Postavljanje DTN čvora nije uvijek jednostavno: postoji više vrsta softvera\, određene parametre na poslužiteljima treba prilagoditi\, a udaljenosti dodatno smanjuju performanse TCP‑a\. Projekt GN4‑3, u sklopu aktivnosti WP6 T2, proveo je niz testova koristeći GÉANT Testbed Service (GTS). Rezultati su objavljeni u matrici, a dokumentacija i skripte za postavljanje čvorova u dockeriziranom okruženju dostupni su na DTN wiki stranici (https://wiki.geant.org/display/DTN). ## About Network engineer (CCNA, CCNP). My research interests are in the field of secure network communication, implementation of new network protocols and WANs technology (L2 MPLS, multicast, GMPLS, SDN...).

Pridruži se kolegama iz Fonoe, Shopify-a, Intercoma & Mindsmithsa na prvom Engineering × Product Talks, community večeri za senior inženjere, engineering managere i product lidere koji žele razgovarati o stvarnim izazovima izgradnje i skaliranja složenih softverskih sustava u eri AI-ja. Fokus večeri je na konkretnim odlukama, trade-offovima i iskustvima iz prakse, iz perspektive ljudi koji svakodnevno grade i vode sustave koji moraju raditi pouzdano na globalnoj razini. Fonoa će podijeliti kako pristupa izgradnji platforme za globalnu poreznu usklađenost u okruženju u kojem se regulativa stalno mijenja, a točnost, pouzdanost i auditabilnost nisu opcija, nego nužnost, te gdje AI sve više igra ulogu u povećanju efikasnosti i skalabilnosti bez kompromisa na kvaliteti. **Riječ je o problemu koji uključuje:** * kompleksnu logiku kroz više jurisdikcija * stroge zahtjeve za točnost i auditabilnost * skaliranje infrastrukture i integracija * balansiranje brzine razvoja, pouzdanosti i kvalitete podataka Drugim riječima, o sustavu u kojem je točnost zapravo proizvodna značajka. **O čemu ćemo razgovarati?** * kako donositi tehničke i produktne odluke pod pritiskom kompleksnosti * kako balansirati brzinu razvoja, pouzdanost i točnost sustava * kako graditi engineering timove s visokim ownershipom i jasnim standardima * kako product i engineering surađuju kada je sustav globalan i reguliran * kako AI uvodi nove arhitekturne i produktne trade-offove u modernim softverskim sustavima **Program** **Uvodna Prezentacija** * [Davor Tremac](https://www.linkedin.com/in/davor-tremac-662144a/) – CEO (Fonoa): What we build & why it matters Uvod u problem koji Fonoa rješava i zašto je izgradnja platforme za globalnu poreznu usklađenost tehnički i organizacijski izazov. **Fireside chat** * [Pablo Carranza](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pablocarranza/) – CTO (Fonoa) * [Filip Šturman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/filipsturman/) – COO (Fonoa) Moderator: [Ante Sladojević](https://www.linkedin.com/in/antesladojevic/) – Chovik, Founder Razgovor o skaliranju organizacije, donošenju tehničkih i produktnih odluka te izgradnji sustava u kojem je točnost ključna funkcionalnost, uz sve veću ulogu AI-ja u unapređenju procesa, donošenju odluka i razvoju proizvoda. **Panel diskusija - Product & Engineering: aktualni izazovi, organizacijski modeli i kultura ownershipa** **Panelisti**: * [Majana Havranek](https://www.linkedin.com/in/majanahavranek/) – Head of Product, Mindsmiths * [Igor Belša](https://www.linkedin.com/in/igorbelsa/) – Development Manager, Shopify * [Mario Kostelac](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariokostelac/) – Principal Machine Learning Engineer, Intercom Moderator: [Antonio Krističević](https://www.linkedin.com/in/antoniokristicevic/) – Engineering Manager, Fonoa Kako danas izgledaju odnosi između Product i Engineering timova u modernim tehnološkim kompanijama?

Feeling down? Sometimes depressed? Can't focus? Negativity & stress? Recent losses? Creativity in career and personal life hindered by mental blocks? Sometimes we never fully recover from traumatic experiences. Whether it was yesterday, last week or a year ago, traumatic experiences - a loss of a loved one, losing a job, a breakup - can leave you scarred. You talk about it and feel a little better, but it never goes away. After you hang up the phone, it's still there; the sadness, the cloud, the over-thinking, the worry, the guilt. You try to focus, but you're blocked. You try to look forward into new experiences, new relationships but a cloud is hanging over you, casting a shadow on what you once considered a bright, cheerful future. What happened to your courage? Your strength of character? You're 'why not' attitude? Whoever said 'time heals' must have had a special time machine, because after weeks, months, years, you're wondering - when exactly does that kick in? Sometimes it seems like drinking or drugs are the way to go. But they wear off, and now the problem is still there with added side effects from the drugs. At this free local Meetup event we will talk about: * What causes grief, anxiety and depression to become chronic. * Is it possible to regain your joy and happiness even after traumatic experiences? * How to break away from negativity and focus on the future * What are the steps to take to get control of your mind and your emotions? Learn about a safe, gentle, do-it-yourself counseling that can be done in the comfort of your own home. Let's explore safe, effective solutions for healing from traumatic experiences. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center.
