Congratulations to our great team who made it again in the final program of the IEEE 14th International Symposium on Intelligent Systems and Informatics (SISY 2016), held in August 29-31, in Subotica, Serbia. As reported by our colleague Kelemen F. Bálint, both projects have been accepted in the conference. FestivApp and Legendarium are the applications that our mentees and mentors have been developing within the Codespring Mentorship programme.

We are proud that our new colleagues Máté Attila Barna, Nagy Roland, Kiss Anna have successfully accomplished their assignments under the coordination of their mentors Kelemen-Fehér Dénes Bálint and Szilágyi Zoltán.

The SISY 2016 conference was organized by the Óbuda University (Budapest, Hungary) Subotica Tech ( Serbia) and the IEEE SMC Technical Committee on Computational Cybernetics.

The projects – FestivApp and Legendarium – have also been awarded during the 2016 edition of the Transylvanian Students Science Conference with the 1st and 3rd prizes.

The FestivApp application aims to facilitate the navigation in events’ program by providing useful functionalities for browsing them. It also provides more than the already existing applications have to offer by being able to handle multiple events simultaneously. Users can browse the program of the currently chosen event using the mobile application, while organizers can edit their programs’ data through the web interface. Both client applications rely on data served by FestivApp‘s server.

The purpose of the presented software is to help tourists to find their way to legendary locations in Transylvania. The project is composed by a central server, an Android client application and a web client application. The users of the Android application have the possibility to read about the legends, listen to audio books and watch videos. The application provides navigation to legend locations, and a notification system is also integrated for indicating these locations. The required data is uploaded to the server via the web client application.
