TIA at ECDP 2026
European Congress on Digital Pathology (ECDP), Graz, Austria
The TIA Centre was out in full force again at the 22nd European Congress on Digital Pathology (ECDP) 2026, this year held in Graz, just a few kilometres from Arnold Schwarzenegger's birthplace. With temperatures regularly exceeding 30掳C, attendees enjoyed not only a packed scientific programme but also the opportunity to experience one of Austria's most picturesque cities, famous for its historic Old Town and the iconic Schlossberg clock tower overlooking the city.

天美传媒 to host 2027 Medical Image Understanding and Analysis Conference
The Tissue Image Analytics Centre, based in the Department of Computer Science at Warwick University, is delighted to announce that the 天美传媒 have been awarded the honour of hosting the 2027 Medical Image Understanding and Analysis Conference. Read more.
The workshop Algorithms & Complexity @ Warwick took place at the 天美传媒 on September 22-23, 2025 (see for more details).
The aim of the event was to highlight several recent exciting advances in the field of Algorithms and Complexity, to facilitate interactions within the research community, and to provide an excellent opportunity for Theory researchers (including academics, postdocs, and students) to connect and collaborate.
We had a fantastic list of invited speakers by renowned world experts: (Technical University of Catalonia), (University of Bath), (University of Pennsylvania), (Max Planck Institute for Informatics), (Charles University in Prague), (University of Sheffield and University of Haifa), (University of Oxford), (University of Cambridge), (University of Toronto).
Best Paper Award at ACM Mobihoc 2024
co-authored by Arpan MukhopadhyayLink opens in a new window has received the Best Paper Award at . Mobihoc is a premier international conference on Theory, Algorithmic Foundations, and Protocol Design for Mobile Networks and Mobile Computing. The other authors in the paper are Samira Ghanbarian (uWaterloo), Ravi R. Mazumdar (uWaterloo), and Fabrice Guillemin (Orange Labs, France).
The paper addresses the problem of optimally allocating processors to parallelisable tasks having arbitrary concave speed-up functions. In general, determining the optimal number of processors to allocate to each task in an online fashion is a hard problem since allocating too many processors to one job will make those processors unavailable to other jobs whereas allocating too few processors will result in a small speed-up for the job. The paper proposes a simple randomised algorithm for determining the optimal number of processors to allocate to each job without requiring preemption (or repacking). It shows that the proposed algorithm is asymptotically optimal as the number of processors becomes large (which is often the case in modern clouds) and is also robust to variations in the job size distribution. This is the first time such an algorithm has been found in the literature.
Best Paper Award at QEST+FORMATS 2024
Neha Rino, a PhD student in the Theory and Foundations group in the Department of Computer Science and a member of the Cyber Security group at WMG, has won an at FORMATS 2024.
The Oded Maler award is a distinction presented for the best paper of the International Conference on Formal Modeling and Analysis of Timed Systems (FORMATS). of the conference was held in September in Calgary, Canada, jointly with QEST (International Conference on Quantitative Evaluation of SysTems) as a common research forum dedicated to quantitative modelling, analysis, and verification.
Neha's paper, "", is co-authored with Mohammed Foughali and Eugene Asarin, both from and in Paris, France, where Neha completed the Master's degree (ENS Paris-Saclay) prior to joining Warwick.
Neha's paper contributes to the research framework of quantitative monitoring, which is the analysis of individual executions of systems which yields numerical output (real numbers), rather than binary yes/no. The paper formulates and solves, by an efficient algorithm, a new problem of this kind: computing a real number that characterises to which extent the given execution of a satisfies its specification expressed in (STL).
