SUMMARY:AI in the Context of Complex Intelligent System
DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture by Nicolette Lakemond\, Professor in Industrial Development at Linköping University\n\nAs artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into the context of complex products and systems (CoPS)\, making complex systems more intelligent\, this presentation explores the consequences and presents research results on the implications for engineering management in emerging complex intelligent systems (CoIS). \nAll are welcome to attend this talk\, which takes place in Gladan\, Brinellvägen 85 (plan 3). \nThe talk will be followed by the half-way seminar for Rusyadi Ramli\, Boundary Objects within the Discourse on the Development of Complex CPS\, for which Prof Lakemond is the opponent.

SUMMARY:Boundary Objects within the Discourse on the Development of Complex CPS
DESCRIPTION:Half-way seminar for PhD student Rusyadi Ramli\nThis seminar will present the role of boundary objects\, explore the contextual factors of boundary objects\, and discuss how to design effective boundary objects within the discourse on the co-engineering practice in the development of complex CPS. All with an interest in this topic are welcome to join (Gladan\, Brinellvägen 85\, plan 3). \nThe opponent for this seminar will be Nicolette Lakemond\, Deputy Dean and Professor in Industrial Development at Linköping University\, who will give an invited talk from 13.15-14.15 AI in the Context of Complex Intelligent Systems. \nAbstract for the half-way seminar by Rusyadi Ramli:\nCyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are evolving to become more intelligent\, connected\, and collaborative due to the advancement of technology. Provided with unprecedented capabilities\, these CPS also represent unprecedented complexity and bring new risks beyond classical dependability. As CPS are becoming more complex to realize\, this requires an increasing breadth of knowledge and skills and a stronger emphasis on collaborative engineering (co-engineering) to deal with the multitude of viewpoints involved. \nTo facilitate co-engineering practice\, engineers commonly used artifacts such as architectural frameworks and standards during the development of complex CPS.  These artifacts can be considered as boundary objects\, i.e.\, objects that hold different meanings to several Community of Practice and serve to translate information between them. This research focuses on boundary objects\, (e.g.\, what is the role of boundary objects\, what are the contextual factors of boundary objects\, and how to design effective boundary objects within the discourse on the development of complex CPS). The current results show that the concept of boundary objects within the discourse on the development of complex CPS is not well-defined. Nonetheless\, the results indicate that the concept of\, and the role of\, boundary objects can be identified based on three contextual factors e.g.\, structure\, identity\, and culture.  The results suggest that the concept of boundary object has narrowed down towards matters of structure and identity within the discourse on the development of complex CPS. \nMoreover\, this research indicate that the boundary objects can be categorized into four categories based on two implicit\, orthogonal dimensions present in the discourse\, i.e.\, \n\nboundary objects can be either transparent or opaque\, and\nboundary objects can be either a support to\, or a limiter on\, human activity.\n\nThese categories suggest that the discourses on automation and organisational learning could be used to elicit a deeper understanding of enablers or barriers to boundary objects. \n\n\n\nBio: My research interests fall at the intersection of systems engineering\, engineering design\, and engineering management. Currently\, my research focuses on investigating the role of engineering artefacts to e.g.\, bridge the knowledge gap and promote compromise among different Community of Practices (e.g.\, safety engineers\, cybersecurity engineers\, software engineers) in the development of trustworthy complex systems (e.g.\, connected and automated vehicle\, intelligent transporation systems\, etc). \nSome theories I use for my PhD research include boundary objects\, organizational learning\, and social-practice theory. As for the research methods\, I mainly use field-based methods such as expert interviews and participant observation to conduct my research.

SUMMARY:TECoSA Seminar - Safety Challenges for Automated Vehicles in the Absence of Connectivity
DESCRIPTION:We aim to bring you a TECoSA Seminar on the first Thursday of each month during term-time.  All are welcome to attend and we look forward to some lively discussions. Members can accept the Outlook invitations\, non-members can email tecosa-admin@kth.se to register.\nOur September seminar is with Dr Akhil Shetty\, postdoctoral researcher at UC Berkeley Department of Mechanical Systems.  The session will be given via Zoom (https://kth-se.zoom.us/j/66857695267). \nABSTRACT:  Automated vehicles (AVs) are expected to create a future with effortless driving and virtually no traffic accidents. AV companies claim that\, when fully developed\, the technology will eliminate all crashes caused due to human error. Indeed\, AVs will likely avoid the large number of crashes caused by impaired\, distracted or reckless drivers. But there remains a significant proportion of crashes for which no driver is directly responsible. In particular\, the absence of connectivity of an AV with its neighboring vehicles (V2V) and the infrastructure (I2V) leads to a lack of information that can induce such crashes. In this talk\, I will present prototypical examples motivated by the NHTSA pre-crash scenario typology to show that fully autonomous vehicles cannot guarantee safety in the absence of connectivity. Since AV designs today do not require such connectivity\, these crashes would persist in the future. Combining theoretical models and empirical data\, I will also argue why such hazardous scenarios would occur with a significantly high probability. Our work suggests that incorporating connectivity is a prerequisite for a safe AV future.  \nBIO: Akhil Shetty is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at UC Berkeley. He completed his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley advised by Prof. Kameshwar Poolla and Prof. Pravin Varaiya. He received his B.Tech and M.Tech degrees in Electrical Engineering from IIT Bombay. Akhil is a recipient of the Berkeley Graduate Fellowship for doctoral studies at UC Berkeley. He received the Best Student Paper Award at ITSC 2020\, and was a finalist for Best Student Paper at ECC 2018 and SPCOM 2014. He is interested in applying tools from optimization\, control\, and statistics to tackle problems in the fields of energy and intelligent transportation systems.

SUMMARY:TECoSA Research Seminar: Explainable Reinforcement Learning for Telecom
DESCRIPTION:Speakers:  Industrial PhD students Ahmad Terra (TECoSA\, Ericsson) and Franco Ruggeri (Ericsson)\nLocation: C435\, Brinellvägen 85 (plan 4)\nZoom link and sign-up link circulated to members\nPlease email vickid@kth.se if you have any questions. \nABSTRACT: Explainable Reinforcement Learning (XRL) primarily to provide explainability for black-box models to enable trust. XRL includes multiple methods applied to different elements of RL agent (state\, rewards\, policy explanations\, etc.). This seminar will present multiple existing state-of-the-art XRL methods\, their application to different elements especially to the remote electrical antenna tilt (RET) use case. Additionally\, the seminar includes a new method “Both Ends Explanations for RL (BEERL)” that goes one-step further to connect and compare input and output explanations\, identify and mitigate bias\, and generates two different levels of explanation which in turn allows RL agent re-configurations when unwanted behaviours are observed.
