Due to the exceptional pandemic circumstances (again!), the progress report meeting will be held as 3 events, by theme, and online.

  • Friday, June 4th, 2021, 9h30 - 12h20: Low level, material and trace collection
  • Friday, June 11th, 2021, 9h - 12h30: Distributed application analysis, machine learning
  • Friday, June 18th, 2021, 9h30 - 12h00: Theia, Trace Compass, hack-a-thon

Participation is by invitation. The target audience is the project participants and guests of the project sponsors.
