• Climate Change: Future Challenges for Urban Scientists

  This end of February has become St. Petersburg’s coldest in the past several decades. According to Alexander Kolesov, Chief Meteorologist at the Northwest Center of the Russian Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring, we last had such cold weather back in 1955. Europe experienced a drop in temperature as well; actually, the recent cyclone even got a nickname, the Beast from the East. So, what is happening to the climate, and how will these global changes affect St. Petersburg? During a lecture at the Institute of Design & Urban Studies, Artem Pavlovsky, climatologist and member of the State Research and Design Center of St. Petersburg Master Plan, talked about the reasons behind climate change, and its effect on the development of urban territories.

• ITMO University Opens Educational Courses on BIM Technologies in Building and Infrastructure Design

  ITMO University has launched an educational program for professional training in cooperation with OOO “Research and Development Center “Etalon””. The program is mainly dedicated to study of BIM technology. It can be used to account for all the properties and measurements of the building not only during construction, but also during its operational stage and to predict the possible faults in the structure as well as monitor its condition in real-time. By increasing their theoretical and practical knowledge through the program, specialists are able to work as BIM- managers, coordinators and modelers.

• New Program for Crowd Behavior Analysis

  ITMO University scientists in alliance with international colleagues developed a program for bringing together computer models of crowd behavior. According to the authors, this helps forecast emergencies that appear during mass gatherings. The method already as a base for the crowd behavior study at the Kumbh Mela festival. The research article was published in Future Generation Computer Systems.

• "Slower is Faster" - a Mexican Scientist on Systems' Efficiency

  Systems that work with maximum output aren't always efficient — working at medium power is often a lot more productive. This can be true for many areas of human activity like economics, urban science, sociology, psychology, etc. Carlos Gershenson, a Mexican researcher at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, spoke about the "slower is faster" concept during an open lecture at ITMO University.

• Network Science for Computing Beliefs

  One's opinion on a subject constantly changes, and depends on the opinions of others, as well. Describing this process and studying the reasons behind it is a hard task. Exact mathematical models and methods for studying them would allow to not only forecast changes in public opinion, but also control it to some extent. An international group of scientists supported by the Russian Science Foundation got breakthrough results in this field. Those were recently published in the highly rated Science journal.
