HeCSE
The Helsinki Graduate School in Computer Science and Engineering (HeCSE) is a post-graduate programme jointly offered by the University of Helsinki and Helsinki University of Technology. HeCSE is a relatively large graduate school. There are nearly 100 post-graduates in the school, and 23 of them have funded positions. In addition to the funded positions, HeCSE offers these students other benefits, like special courses and annual student meetings.
The research interests of the students cover most sub-areas in computer science. The post-graduates can choose any of the sub-fields represented by the graduate school professors as their own specialisation area. The focus areas of HeCSE are adaptive and intelligent systems, especially modern data analysis and its applications, as well as neural networks; theoretical computer science, especially modelling and verification based on formal methods, and computational logics; software engineering for future networks, especially ubiquitous computing, the Internet, wireless data communication, security and multimedia, and in connection with them, the main software tools, technologies and methodology, like software engineering and usability research.
HeCSE continued in 2005 as in previous years. Language education and one specialisation course were provided for the students. In addition, some of the graduate school students attended international summer schools. The students continued in their very productive strain. They published an average of 1.4 articles in international journals or at conferences. In connection with the general presentation of the department in September, open to the public, HeCSE arranged its own Poster Day where its students had a chance to present their research to the visitors and other graduate school students.
