*Abstract:*Today’s applications - ranging from mobile digital services 
(instant messengers, multiplayer games, etc.), collaborative workflows 
(Google Docs, Figma, Trello, etc.), real-time businesses 
(cross-organizational workflows, collaborative condition monitoring, 
etc.), autonomous vehicle services, production 4.0 software, and more - 
are very different from traditional ones: They run on globally 
distributed computing infrastructures, consistently interact with the 
outside world and are data-driven. In this talk, I will argue that to 
cope with challenges posed by these new computing realities we need 
programming models and technologies that offer safety and security 
properties by-design. More specifically, I will talk about 
language-integrated solutions that offer formally-proven consistency 
guarantees “out-of-the-box” in a decentralized and privacy-preserving 
manner and will present the ideas in the context of REScala 
(rescala-lang.com <https://www.rescala-lang.com/>) - a library-based 
Scala extension.

*About the speaker:**Mira Mezini*is full professor of Computer Science 
at Technical University of Darmstadt and leads the Software Technology 
Lab. After her PhD in Computer Science at the University of Siegen in 
Germany, she spent two years as a visiting assistant professor at 
Northeastern University in Boston (USA), before joining TU Darmstadt in 
2000. She is member of the board of the National Research Center for 
Applied Cyber Security ATHENE and spokesperson of the Hessian Center for 
Artificial Intelligence.
Mira has published more than 200 peer-reviewed papers, many of the them 
in the most prestigious venues in programming languages and software 
engineering. She is elected member of the German Academy of Science and 
Engineering (acatech) and has received various research awards, 
including IBM Eclipse Innovation Awards, a Google Research Award, the 
German IT Security Award, and an Advanced Grant of the European Research 
Council (ERC).

We look forward to meeting you at this webinar!

Yours sincerely,

Informatics Europe
