Description
Many ongoing and future experiments utilize medium-mass atomic nuclei as exquisite laboratories for exploring the fundamental symmetries of nature and searching for signals of new physics beyond the Standard Model. While large particle colliders probe the high-energy frontier, sensitive studies of low-energy nuclear processes provide a complementary approach. We will exploit a novel combination of physics, mathematics, and advanced computational methods to build a novel quantum many-body framework for solving the structure of medium- mass nuclei and their processes from first principles with unprecedented accuracy and scope. This will allow us to provide a number of key nuclear theory predictions needed for the interpretation of ongoing and future experimental efforts to detect dark matter and to search for violations of predictions of the Standard model in electroweak nuclear processes.

Description
This project consists of several research subprojects that investigate various interesting parallel programming aspects.
The first research project concerns with sparse matrix storage formats. It is focused on aspects of quad-tree abstract data type for sparse matrix representation. Preliminary results indicate high potential of quad-tree format, but it is necessary to implement more functions and measure the performance thoroughly.
The next part of the project is algorithms for visualization of very large sparse matrices. The recently developed algorithm is independent of partitioning of a matrix among individual processors of a parallel computer. The price for this independence is that the memory requirements are proportional to the size of the image, which limits the detail investigation of the matrix structure. The goal is to develop memory efficient algorithms for visualization of particular types of sparse matrices that will lead to the possibility of creation of much bigger re

This project addresses the research of effective and scalable algorithms and data structures for input/output operations on very large sparse matrices that due to their size must be stored and processed on massively parallel computers with tens or hundreds of thousands of processors. Such matrices consist of trillions of nonzero entries. The project focuses on research of new binary file formats for storing such matrices, on research of data structures and scalable algorithms for effective loading such matrices into massively parallel solvers, and on research of memory-effective formats for representation of such matrices in computer memory. Finally, the project also aims at research of effective and scalable algorithms for visualization of very large sparse matrices on massively parallel computers. Together with theoretical parts, the project involves verification of proposed algorithms and data structures on real massively parallel computers.

Description
One of the problems of sensor networks is the fact that the wireless modules are small (in size) and have very limited resources (battery, processing power, transmission power, small antennas). In order to connect clusters of modules via long distances four methods can be applied: to increase antenna gains (which will increase the physical size of the modules), to increase the transmission power (which will drain the batteries faster), to install repeaters (sometimes this is not possible due to the remote locations such sensor arrays are used in) or to apply distributed phase-shift beamforming, which was the goal of our work in grant SGS11/158/OHK3/3T/13. However, the main problem is now to be able to interconnect multiple clusters and to be able to send information from cluster to cluster. Thus the problem we are now solving is to use the principle of distributed phase-shift beamforming to achieve data routing in a network composed of many clusters of modules.

The project focuses on time series modeling and classification using a phase space reconstruction method. Time series are products of dynamic systems which seems as an appropriate subject for this process because each state of the system can be described using a phase vector representing typically coordinates and their derivations. Such components and their transformations will be selected using a genetic algorithm applied to the input data, that success rate of the classification system will be improved.
The approach will be applied on artificial and experimental data. The experimental data represent human motion (a person activity type classification using sensors attached to a human body), data measured at patients suffering from Parkinson's disease (quantification of possible movement disorder as a computer aid for a doctor) and other.

Ad-hoc and sensor networks are distributed wireless networks in which each device generally fulfils two functions: a task (or set of tasks) and relaying (helping other devices to communicate). All these devices are powered by batteries and thus the two functions are colliding in goals. The devices should relay but also conserve power. Too helpful for others results in quick battery depletion. Too selfish results in a disconnected network. There can be a threshold between helpfulness and selfishness and this is the goal of this project is to find this zone of fairness.

Description
Currently, a large amount of multimedia content (audio/video) is offered through online platforms, typically at the request of the user (Video-on-Demand). This practice is quite common today for paid services (eg online video rentals), but it also appears on data sharing platforms (eg. Ulož.to), where the legality of the origin of the data cannot be guaranteed. There are even platforms where it can even be argued (see the document "On the Net") that your own content, regardless of origin, can be extremely harmful (eg. terrorism, child pornography, etc.).
The whole thing is further complicated by the fact that the majority of this traffic is currently encrypted using the HTTPS protocol, which makes it very difficult to identify. The purpose of the project is to search for ways and mechanisms for finding the fingerprint of specific video streams and then identify them from the network traffic reported via the NetFlow / IPFix protocol.
The solution of the project presupposes the creation of a common research infrastructure over a distributed data storage (created from SSD or NVMe disks) between the two university workplaces, the interconnection of which will be realized through the Cesnet backbone network.
