2 From the Director The Institute of Computer Science is one of the very few academic institutions in Poland with the longest tradition in computer research & development, as well as in education. The history of the Institute goes back to the year 1953 when the Division of Communications and Radio Equipment was established at the Faculty of Communications (was so called then). In 1960, the Division has designed and built one of the first industrially produced electronic computers in Poland, called UMC1. Teaching in the field of computing and computers has started early in 60's, so that the first few M.Sc. degrees in Computer Science were granted in From then on, the regular curricula in the field have been proposed. The main activities of the Institute of Computer Science concentrate around teaching of undergraduate and graduate computer science students, as well as, doing research in the field of computer science. The Institute s main areas for both, i.e. the teaching and research activities, concentrate around computer graphics, information systems, data and text mining, artificial intelligence, computer systems architectures, dependable computing and software engineering. This Annual Report summarizes both types of the activities of the Institute in the academic year 2013/2014. Now, each year some 80 students receive their BSc degrees and about 80 students are awarded with MSc degrees. Additionally, we are proud of our PhD students. In 2014, five PhD students have completed their theses and have been awarded with PhD degrees, one with honours. The last year was for the Institute very successful in all the fields of our activities. One of our professors was nominated by the President of Poland with the scientific title of State Professor. A particular significance should be given to the new investments in our infrastructure. The server room reconstruction has been completed and the new equipment has been installed. Additionally, the Faculty project FOTEH has been successfully completed and the new computational laboratory has started working. In the research area, in 2014 we have been working on 17 projects. In particular, we have been ending our very successful work on the strategic project SYNAT, which is devoted to building infrastructure for scientific research community. We have continued implementing the research results of the project at the level of Warsaw University of Technology in the form of University Knowledge Base, which is now in regular use by all the faculties of the University. We also continued cooperation with industry, being involved in 8 projects for our industrial partners. Our co-operation with industry involves not only the Institute s academic staff but also our PhD and MSc students, who participate in the research projects. In November we have hosted Professor Evangelos Milios from Dalhousie University, Canada, who presented a series of lectures on visual text analytics for the University staff and PhD students. In May and September we have also hosted Professor Janusz Zalewski from Dept. of Software Engineering Florida Gulf Coast University. The outcome of the research run by the Institute staff is well reflected in our publication record. In 2014 our staff have authored and co-authored 128 publications,

3 (seven co-edited books, and 116 papers in international scientific journals, and conference proceedings, as well as chapters in the books). Additionally, 5 Institute s reports have been issued. Our staff have been involved in organizing international conferences WI-IAT 2014 and JRS In addition the Institute was involved in organizing at WI-IAT a special session devoted to SYNAT. The research achievements of the Institute s staff are well recognized in the academic community. Our colleagues are invited to the programme and organizing committees of international conferences. They are also often invited for reviewing papers for renowned international journals. It is my pleasure to express my appreciation to the Institute s staff for their efforts and contributions in the Institute s achievements in teaching and research.
