CPER “Informatique Située” project

Participants : Olivier Simonin, François Charpillet, Olivier Rochel ,, Amandine Dubois, Mihai Andries.

Ye-Qiong Song (Madynes team, LORIA-Inria) is an external collaborator.

The CPER MIS is a Lorraine region and Inria-Feder project. In this context the Informatique Située action aims at studying and experiment AI models for human assistance and intelligent home. We developed an experimental platform called “Smart Appartment”, where we define and study the iTile network ( 6.2.4.2.1 ) and different multi-sensors systems for tracking functions.

RNSC project AEGSST

Participant : Vincent Chevrier.

This project “Approche Enactive pour la Gouvernance des Systèmes Socio-Techniques” (AEGSST) is the consequence of the work undertaken within the GEST project funded by the IXXI ("Institut Rhône Alpin des Systèmes Complexes") and PEPS CNRS project GEST. It is labeled and funded by the Réseau National des Systèmes Complexes (RNSC).

This project aims at a fundamental level at proposing an enactive perspective for the governance issue in case of complex socio-technical systems, like public transportation systems or smart grids in energy domain. From a more applicative perspective, we seek at specifying a participatory and reflexive simulation system based on a multi-agent model.

This project gathers researchers coming from different domains (social cognition, decision theory, simulation, serious game, etc) in order to clarify interdisciplinary issues.

Several meetings were organized and a workshop occurred the 29 th November in Paris.

COMAC

Participants : Mauricio Araya, Marie Tonnelier, Vincent Thomas, Olivier Buffet, François Charpillet.

Laurent Bougrain (CORTEX team, LORIA) is an external collaborator.

The COMAC (COMAC = contrôle optimisé multi-techniques des aérostructures composites / optimized multi-technique control of composite aeronautic parts) project is part of the Materalia competitive cluster. The main objective of the project is to develop diagnosis tools for the low cost identification of defaults in aeronautic parts made of composite materials.

In the MAIA team, our research effort focuses more precisely on information gathering problems involving active sensors, i.e., an intelligent system which has to select the observations to perform (which sensor, where, at which resolution). Mauricio Araya's undergoing PhD looks precisely at the topic of Active Sensing (Section  6.1.2 ).

The project has ended in December 2012 and the main contributions of the MAIA and CORTEX teams are (1) the development of the iComac platform that gathers the information concerning the diagnosis procedures results obtained by all the partners (2) the development of Pie Diagnosis System (PDS), a demonstrative application which uses a POMDP approach to compute the optimal active diagnosis strategy, and hypertrees for visualization.
