World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems. The World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems (commonly known as the ITS World Congress) is an annual conference and trade show to promote ITS technologies. ERTICO (ITS Europe), ITS America, ITS AsiaPacific and ITS Japan are its sponsors. Each year the event takes place in a different region (Europe, Americas or Asia-Pacific).

Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) are advanced applications which, without embodying intelligence as such, aim to provide innovative services relating to different modes of transport and traffic management and enable various users to be better informed and make safer, more coordinated, and 'smarter' use of transport networks. They are considered a part of the Internet of things.

Varga RMI-1 X/H. The Varga RMI-1 was a twin-engine turboprop-powered aircraft designed by Hungarian engineer , and the world's first turboprop aircraft. It was a fighter-bomber intended to test the new turboprop Jendrassik Cs-1 aero engine. Only one prototype was built, as with the signing of a mutual defence pact between Hungary and Germany in June 1941, it was decided to license produce the Daimler-Benz DB 605 piston engine and purchase the Messerschmitt Me 210 fitted with these engines to fill the fighter-bomber requirement. Due to difficulties with the original engines, the sole prototype was re-engined with German Daimler-Benz DB 605s in 1944 and undertook taxiing trials and high speed runs, but was destroyed by Allied bombing in June 1944 before making its first flight.

Design
The RMI-1 was a low wing, twin-engined aircraft with two turboprop Cs-1 engines slung under the wings. It was designed to have a crew of two or three. The tail section was of the conventional type with a single vertical stabilizer.

Bayesian program synthesis. In programming languages and machine learning, Bayesian program synthesis (BPS) is a program synthesis technique where Bayesian probabilistic programs automatically construct new Bayesian probabilistic programs. This approach stands in contrast to routine practice in probabilistic programming where human developers manually write new probabilistic programs.

The framework 
Bayesian program synthesis (BPS) has been described as a framework related to and utilizing probabilistic programming. In BPS, probabilistic programs are generated that are themselves priors over a space of probabilistic programs. This strategy allows automatic synthesis of new programs via probabilistic inference and is achieved by the composition of modular component programs. 

The modularity in BPS allows inference to work on and test smaller probabilistic programs before being integrated into a larger model.

This framework can be contrasted with the family of automated program synthesis fields, which include programming by example and programming by demonstration. The goal in such fields is to find the best program that satisfies some constraint. In traditional program synthesis, for instance, verification of logical constraints reduce the state space of possible programs, allowing more efficient search to find an optimal program. Bayesian program synthesis differs both in that the constraints are probabilistic and the output is itself a distribution over programs that can be further refined.

Additionally, Bayesian program synthesis can be contrasted to the work on Bayesian program learning, where probabilistic program components are hand-written, pre-trained on data, and then hand assembled in order to recognize handwritten characters.

Anne-Marie Kermarrec. Anne-Marie Kermarrec (born 1970) is a French computer scientist. She is a professor at EPFL, Switzerland, where she heads the Scalable Computing Systems Laboratory in the School of Computer and Communication Sciences. Her research concerns distributed computing, epidemic algorithms, peer-to-peer networks, and systematic support for machine learning.

Previously, she was director of research at Inria in Rennes. In 2015, she founded Mediego, a startup company that provides systems for real-time online content personalization.

Biography 

Anne-Marie Kermarrec received her PhD in 1996 from the University of Rennes 1. Her thesis was titled “Data replication for high availability and efficiency in large-scale shared memory architectures” and was supervised by Michel Banâtre. She then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam with Andrew S. Tanenbaum until 1997, when she returned to France as a scientist at the University of Rennes 1. From 2000 to 2004, she worked at Microsoft Research, Cambridge, UK, before once again returning to Rennes as a director of research at Inria. In 2012, Kermarrec was appointed as a scientific collaborator at the School of Computer and Communication Sciences, EPFL, co-directing the EPFL-Inria International Lab. In 2019, she was appointed Full Professor at EPFL.

Kermarrec founded a startup, Mediego, in 2015, providing real-time online content personalization systems. The startup won the Inria i-Lab contest in 2015 and was developed in the Ouest France OFF7 incubator with seed funding from the “IT-Translation” project at Inria. In 2019, Mediego was sold to Welcoming Group, a personalized newsletter service.

In 2021, Kermarrec published a book about women in computing, titled Numérique, compter avec les femmes. The book draws upon her personal experiences in academia and entrepreneurship, and in her own words, touches on everything from “the small number of women Nobel laureates” to “biases in AI” to “sex robots", as well as "some outlines of solutions, when I have any, because that isn’t magic either”.

Recognition
Kermarrec won the  of the French Academy of Sciences in 2011, and the Dassault Systèmes Innovation Award of the Academy and Inria in 2017. In 2019, Kermarrec received the Chevalier de la légion d’Honneur, one of France’s highest distinctions.

She was elected to the Academia Europaea in 2013. In 2017, she became a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery.

Ellenic Vehicle Research Ltd.. Ellenic Vehicle Research Ltd (also using the Elenica brand name) is an automotive development company registered in Cyprus and founded by  Greek engineer Dr Dimitrios Hatzikakidis. Elenica has been developing  the MSCC (Modular Sports Car Concept) family of vehicles, utilizing Dr. Hatzikakidis’s proposed (and patented) Parametric Chassis Technology, as part of the high-end application of this technology.

The particular technology proposal originated in the late 1990s, and utilized the concept of connected “suspension modules”, which, according to the company, can lead to lighter, more structurally rigid, and cheaper to produce vehicles. Seven rolling prototypes have been produced and are being tested, while complete functioning prototypes are currently being built in Switzerland and the U.K. The Modular Sports Car Concept has received significant publicity in Greek media, and was presented at the Hellenic Motor Museum in Athens, Greece, in June 2014.

LEXO. LEXO is the original version of the upgraded BURNOUT temperature regulating tumbler brand from manufacturer ThermAvant International, LLC, based in Columbia, Missouri.

History
The creator of LEXO, Hongbin "Bill" Ma, is a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and director of the Center for Thermal Management at the University of Missouri. After noticing how often he forgot coffee while waiting for it to cool, Ma began working on a “cup with constant temperature” in the summer of 2015. The LEXO was released to the general public in December 2016.

Design
The LEXO uses bio-based phase-change and advanced heat transfer materials to absorb the initial heat of the beverage and cool it to a more drinkable temperature. When the temperature begins to drop, the LEXO slowly releases the stored heat back into the drink. The LEXO can also insulate cold liquids.

The LEXO has three layers of 18/8 stainless-steel and BPA-free plastic lids.
