Alice and Eve: Celebrating Women in Computing

Welcome to the free one-day event for celebrating women studying and working in computing!
Alice & Eve aims to bring together talent in the field of computing. The third edition of this workshop will be hosted
on 18 November 2022 by the Delft University of Technology.

Alice and Eve event is inspired by the BCS Lovelace Colloquium that started in 2008. For more details about the earlier editions of Alice & Eve held in Nijmegen and Twente, see the websites of 2021 and 2020.

The event is held during a single day, and features:

A poster contest,
Keynote talks, and
An exhibition on women in computing.

Join us, and participate in our poster contest with the topic of your choice!

The Poster Contest
All women students (Bachelor/Master/PhD) and postdocs of computing and related subjects are invited to enter one of the poster contests during Alice & Eve 2022. We interpret “related subjects” very broadly – we would like to involve everybody in the area of computing. If you are not sure, drop the organizers an email!

To enter the poster contest, please write a one page abstract (minimum 250 words) on the topic of your poster. Your abstract can be on any computing topic you like, e.g., it can be on a topic from social networking to quantum computing; and from medical image processing to formal verification. If it involves computers, we’re interested.

Please submit your abstracts via EasyChair. You will receive instructions about your poster with the acceptance notification e-mail.

The poster abstract submission deadline is October, 24th.

Invited Speakers
Dr. Stefanie Roos, Assistant Professor at Delft University of Technology

Prof. Dr. Judith Good, Professor at University of Amsterdam

Elvan Kula, Chapter Lead at ING Bank, Ph.D. student at Delft University of Technology

Prof. Dr. Peter Boncz, Professor at Vrije University Amsterdam, Researcher at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI)

Prof. Dr. Helle Hvid Hansen, Associate Professor at University of Groningen

Jaya Baloo, Chief Information Security Officer at AVAST

Some highlights
Ms. Elvan Kula will give a talk on the use of Machine Learning at ING and how it helps them to better understand and predict the delays in their software. Dr. Helle Hvid Hansen will expand on game logic and it’s several fundamental question that only recently have been answered or still remain open. Ms. Jaya Baloo will answer some burning question in a live on-stage interview. The day will close off with a panel led by Dr. Cynthia Liem.

For more information on the speakers and the programme, please visit the symposium page.

The Exhibition
In addition to the keynote talks and the posters, there will be an exhibition which portrays thirty women in computing and their most important contributions.

Some highlights of the exhibition:
Grace Hopper who created the world’s first workable compiler;
Ada Lovelace who is known for her work on the design of the ‘Analytics Machine’, the first ever general-purpose computer, and the first published algorithm;
Rosalind Picard and her work on Affective Computing which is a combination of Computer Science, Psychology, Physiology and Cognitive Sciences;
Frances Brazier who helped establish the first Internet Service Provider (ISP) in the Netherlands and Europe.

More information on these women, and many others, can be found at the exhibition and in the online booklet.

Interested? We at Mondai | House of AI and the Alice & Eve organising committee would love to see you there! Please register via the form above.
