<p>By <a href="http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/staff/angelov/hagras_bio.pdf">Dr Hani Hagras</a>, University of Essex</p> <p>Embedded agents are embedded computational artefacts integrated with intelligent reasoning and learning mechanisms. The embedded agents are able to personalise themselves to the user's needs and preferences by learning from their behaviour and thus configuring and controlling the user's environments on their behalf. Thus these agents can reduce the cognitive load associated with configuring and programming ubiquitous computing environments to create Ambient Intelligence. Due to the limited processing power and memory capacities of embedded computers, the intelligent mechanisms that are used in embedded-agents have to be computationally undemanding. Moreover, the intelligent approaches applied should have transparent internal representations such that their learnt behaviours and decisions can be represented in the form of human readable rules which are accessible to the end user.</p> <p>This talk will introduce different novel AI techniques that can be used in the agents like type-2 fuzzy logic. The talk will also present the application of these agents to create ambient intelligence within smart environments and the talk will present results obtained from the real test bed of the Essex iDorm.</p> 2005-11-17 13:00:00 Thursday Thu 17 November Nov 11 2005 13 00 2005-11-17 14:00:00 Thursday Thu 17 November Nov 11 2005 14 00 Thursday 17 November 2005, 1300-1400 0 0 C60 InfoLab21 2 Talk, Lecture or Seminar Talks, Lectures and Seminars <p>An opportunity to hear about the latest research by invited experts in their field.

<p>By <a href="http://www.cs.ugal.ro/%7Ebocanialac/english/index.html">Dr. Cosmin Danut Bocaniala</a></p> <p>The talk focuses on a novel distributed methodology for complex causal systems. Here, a complex system represents a system whose global behaviour, which emerges from the interactions between its usually large number of basic components, is difficult to be accurately described via state-of-the-art modeling techniques. The methodology imitates the manner humans perform reasoning when confronted with mastering complex systems. The monitored complex system is partitioned into minimally separated and causally independent parts that can be separately modeled and understood.</p> <p>The fact that each region is causally independent from the rest of the model, allows allocating a dedicated local agent to each region, that will be able to perform the required task at local level. However, the local agents exchange information between them via partition's borders. The methodology provides minimal complexity for the communication process between agents. The research performed so far indicates that the methodology can be successfully applied for a variety of purposes on complex systems, which feature causal relationships between their basic components. During presentation, application examples from Fault Diagnosis, Particle Swarm Optimization and Autonomous Agents areas will be provided.</p> 2006-05-16 13:00:00 Tuesday Tue 16 May May 05 2006 13 00 2006-06-16 14:00:00 Friday Fri 16 June Jun 06 2006 14 00 Tue 16 May - Fri 16 June 2006 0 0 C60 InfoLab21 2 Talk, Lecture or Seminar Talks, Lectures and Seminars <p>An opportunity to hear about the latest research by invited experts in their field.
