Congratulations to Ryan Liu, a PhD student in electrical and computer engineering (ECE); Shreya Shinde, ECE alum from the MEng program; Dr. Ladan Tahvildari, Professor in ECE; and IBM collaborators Dr. Mark Stoodley, Dr. Marius Pirvu, and Vijay Sundaresan on their remarkable achievement!
Their paper, "Using Semeru Cloud Compiler to Enhance Cloud-Native Java Application Performance," was honored with the Best Paper Award at the 34th International Conference on Collaborative Advances in Software and Computing (CASCON).
This prestigious recognition underscores the outstanding research and collaboration between academia and industry. The work demonstrates innovative approaches to reducing Java application container footprints and improving application ramp-up performance—all while maintaining the flexibility and robust features of Java programming.
Since its inception in 1991, CASCON has been a premier conference, uniting software developers, researchers, technologists, and decision-makers from academia, industry, and government. It serves as a platform for exploring cutting-edge technology trends, presenting impactful research, and showcasing prototypes and solutions in computer science and software engineering.
This accomplishment reflects the exceptional talent cultivated within the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and highlights the strength of collaboration with skilled engineers in a highly competitive field.
Congratulations to the entire team for this outstanding achievement and for advancing the boundaries of cloud-native Java application performance!
