SUMMARY:Workshop: Holistic Technical Perspectives on Safety of Automated Driving Systems - Methods for Provision of Evidence
DESCRIPTION:This interactive workshop takes place in conjunction with a Guest Seminar (10-11 Engineering Resilience for Cognitive Systems) and a half-time PhD seminar and discussion (13-15 Efficient Strategies for Safety Assurance of Automated Driving). If you are interested in joining for some or all of this Resilience Meets Assurance day\, please email tecosa-admin@kth.se to register\, stating which session(s) and whether you would like to join in real life (KTH Campus) or via Zoom.  (Members can accept the Outlook invitations.)  ABSTRACT:  In recent years\, the lack of sufficient evidence to support the safety claims of Automated Driving Systems (ADSs) has become evident\, and we have yet to see large scale deployment on public roads\, despite the promises made by several high profile auto-makers. Contrary to previous generations of automotive systems\, common design\, development\, verification and validation methods for safety critical systems no longer suffice to cope with the increased complexity and uncertainty of an ADS. Further\, there is a lack of understanding of how these common methods\, individually or in combination\, contribute\, or fail to contribute\, to provide evidence for the safety claims of the ADS. The workshop will summarise findings from a state-of-the-art survey and accompanied identified research gaps. Workshop participants will\, in an interactive format\, be engaged in discussions to validate these findings as well as discuss promising directions forward. AGENDA: \n\n~ Presentation of identified research gaps and delimitations ~ Group discussion:     * Do you agree with the presented gaps; What is missing?     * Break     * Presentation of collected/summarised gap     * Group discussion (self-allocation to the different gaps):         – How to address the gap?     * Key considerations and obstacles? Promising directions\, tools and approaches~ Summary \n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Efficient Strategies for Safety Assurance of Automated Driving - half-time PhD seminar and discussion (Magnus Gyllenhammar with Prof Mario Trapp)
DESCRIPTION:This session takes place in conjunction with a Guest Seminar (10-11 Engineering Resilience for Cognitive Systems) and an Interactive Workshop (15.30-17.00 Holistic Technological Perspectives on Safety of Automated Driving Systems -Methods for Provision of evidence).  If you are interested in joining for some or all of this Resilience Meets Assurance day\, please email tecosa-admin@kth.se to register\, stating which session(s) and whether you would like to join in real life (KTH Campus) or via Zoom.  (Members can accept the Outlook invitations.) \n  \n \nMagnus Gyllenhammar \nABSTRACT: Automated Driving Systems (ADSs) promise enormous benefits to society in terms of increased comfort\, safety and efficiency of the transportation system\, effectively by relieving the vehicle operator from the responsibility of driving the vehicle. Contrary to previous generations of automotive systems\, common development and safety assurance practises no longer suffice to accommodate the increased system complexity and operational uncertainty inherent to an ADS. This is why we have yet to see a large scale deployment of ADSs on public roads\, despite recent technological progress and the promises made by several high-profile auto-makers. For that purpose\, I have in my research explored the research question: What are efficient strategies for safety assurance of ADSs? In this seminar\, I present my contributions to-date\, wherein some insights I have gained when tackling this research question are collected. In particular\, I divide my contributions into three themes: understanding the completeness of the development and verification task of the ADS; deriving a driving policy for the ADS with respect to quantitative safety requirements while incorporating knowledge from operational data\, and surveying the state-of-the art\, both general methods providing evidence for safety of the ADS as well as assurance methods. Leaning on these insights\, I present my intended next steps of my thesis: my intended research direction and the proposed research questions to guide me through to the dissertation. More specifically\, I intend to merge the existing approach of dynamic risk assessment\, wherein the decisions of the ADS are conditioned on the current operating conditions; and the precautionary safety approach\, where quantitative safety requirements are fulfilled through a probabilistic view of risk. Thereby\, I hope to provide an assurance approach that is both effective and efficient by considering risk\, from a statistical standpoint\, while\, in run-time\, conditionally deriving appropriate actions based on the experienced operating conditions of the ADS. \nThe presentation will be followed by a discussion led by Professor Mario Trapp\, Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Cognitive Systems at IKS (Munich\, Germany).    \nBIO:  Magnus Gyllenhammar pursues a PhD at KTH Royal Institute of Technology as part of his employment at Zenseact in Gothenburg. His research focuses on finding efficient strategies for safety argumentation of ADSs\, especially focusing on dynamic risk assessment in relation to the fulfilment of a quantitative risk norm. He received a MSc. in Engineering Physics\, major in Complex Adaptive System\, from Chalmers University of Technology\, in 2016. In 2018 he joined Zenseact (then Zenuity) and has since worked on creating and realising data-driven strategies for verification and safety argumentation of ADSs.

SUMMARY:Guest Seminar: Engineering Resilience for Cognitive Systems
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to share this open seminar from guest speaker Professor Mario Trapp\, Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Cognitive Systems IKS (Munich\, Germany).  It takes place in conjunction with a Half-time PhD Seminar & Discussion (13.00-15.00 Efficient Strategies for Safety Assurance of Automated Driving) and an Interactive Workshop (15.30-17.00 Holistic Technological Perspectives on Safety of Automated Driving Systems -Methods for Provision of evidence).  If you are interested in joining for some or all of this Resilience Meets Assurance day\, please email tecosa-admin@kth.se to register\, stating which session(s) and whether you would like to join in real life (KTH Campus) or via Zoom.  (Members can accept the Outlook invitations.) \n \nABSTRACT:  Resilience is currently one of the most popular terms as soon as it comes to the quality of software-intensive systems. Mostly\, however\, it is just used as a modern label for existing dependability concepts. But resilience is much more than that. It stands for the property of a system to optimize utility whilst preserving safety in uncertain contexts. This means  a tremendous change of principles. Resilience is about building flexible structures that are capable to adapt to even unforeseen contexts by changing their structure and their behavior – it is the goal to optimize utility whilst preserving safety\, it is not the goal to preserve a fixed structure and behavior that were specified a-priori without knowing the contexts the system would have to face. To this end\, systems must become aware of their own state and context and adapt themselves\, i.e. yielding real resilience requires self-adaptivity\, which comes along with a long list of challenges if it comes to safety-critical systems. \nThis talk will therefore provide a deeper insight into the concept of resilience\, how it differs from classical dependability\, and how to engineer resilient systems in safety-critical applications. To this end\, it will approach a definition of resilience based on existing work in the dependability field but also by revisiting the history of resilience in other disciplines. It will elaborate what we can learn from the physical\, psychological\, and ecological mechanisms of resilience and it will derive a conceptual framework for Cognitive Resilience that helps us to engineer resilient cognitive systems. \nBIO:  apl. Prof. Dr. habil. Mario Trapp is Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Cognitive Systems IKS.  In 2005\, he obtained his PhD with distinction from the University of Kaiserslautern\, where he also did his habilitation in 2016. In 2005\, he joined Fraunhofer IESE\, where he was initially responsible as a department head for the topic area of safety-critical software before being head of the “Embedded Systems” division from 2009 to 2017. After being appointed Acting Director of Fraunhofer ESK (today Fraunhofer IKS) effective January 1\, 2018\, he assumed this role on a permanent basis on May 1\, 2019. \nFor many years\, Prof Trapp has been contributing his expertise in the development of innovative embedded systems in the context of successful partner projects\, in cooperation with both leading international corporations and small and medium-sized enterprises. His current personal research focus is on safety assurance for autonomous and distributed systems\, which form the technological basis of many future scenarios such as Industrie 4.0 or automated driving. \nHe is the author of numerous international scientific publications and teaches as an apl.

SUMMARY:TECoSA Seminar - Wearable Cognitive Assistance:  Vision\, Reality and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:We aim to bring you a TECoSA Seminar on the first Thursday of each month during term-time. For Spring 2022\, the talks will be on-line or hybrid. All are welcome to attend and we look forward to some lively discussions. Members can accept the invitations\, non-members can email tecosa-admin@kth.se to register.\nThe final seminar this Spring is given in conjunction with the 8th Quarterly Meeting for members\, held in real life here in Stockholm.  However\, if you wish to join the seminar on-line\, you can do so via: https://kth-se.zoom.us/j/66857695267. \nOur guest speaker is Mahadev Satyanarayanan\, Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University (also a member of TECoSA’s International Scientific Advisory Board)\, who will be addressing\nWearable Cognitive Assistance:  Vision\, Reality and Challenges \n \nABSTRACT:  Viewed as mobile computing systems with built-in sensing\, processing\, and persistent storage\, humans are the result of more than 1 billion years of evolution. Our chances of improving upon nature in a short time (say\, 10 years) are negligible if we are bound by the same rules as biological evolution. However\, we have a unique opportunity that is not available to nature\, namely\, to amplify human cognition in real time through low-latency\, wireless access to infrastructure resources. These resources can be larger\, heavier\, more energy hungry\, and more heat dissipative than could ever be carried or worn by a human user.   Edge Computing and 5G are key enablers of this vision.  We have been exploring wearable cognitive assistance since 2014\, and built close to 20 applications of this genre.   In this talk\, I will share what we have learned through this experience.   The potential for this emerging technology to improve human productivity in many domains is indisputable.  At the same time\, important challenges must be overcome to realize this potential. \nBIO:  Satya’s multi-decade research career has focused on the challenges of performance\, scalability\, availability and trust in information systems that reach from the cloud to the mobile edge of the Internet.  In the course of this work\, he has pioneered many advances in distributed systems\, mobile computing\, pervasive computing\, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Most recently\, his seminal 2009 publication “The Case for VM-based Cloudlets in Mobile Computing” and the ensuing research has  led to the emergence of Edge Computing.  Satya is the Carnegie Group University Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University.  He received the PhD in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon\, after Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the Indian Institute of Technology\, Madras. He is a Fellow of the ACM and the IEEE.  You can read more about his research at: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~satya

SUMMARY:TECoSA Seminar - Fog Computing for Cooperative and Autonomous Driving
DESCRIPTION:We aim to bring you a TECoSA Seminar on the first Thursday of each month during term-time. For Spring 2022\, the talks will be on-line or hybrid. All are welcome to attend and we look forward to some lively discussions. Members can accept the invitations\, non-members can email tecosa-admin@kth.se to register.\nOur May seminar is with Assistant Professor Yu Xiao\, head of Aalto University’s mc² Mobile Cloud Computing Group.  The session will be chaired by James Gross\, and given in Zoom. \nABSTRACT:  The emerging vehicular applications demand for a lot more computing and communication capacity to excel in their compute-intensive and latency-sensitive tasks. Vehicular fog computing is an emerging computing paradigm where computing resources are moved to vehicles or network infrastructure close to vehicles for shortening network latency and reducing ingress traffic to the cloud.  In this talk\, we will introduce the ongoing work at the mobile cloud computing group of Aalto University (mobilecloud.aalto.fi)\, covering fog-powered vehicular applications like vision-based mapping and localization\, deployment of fog nodes in 5G networks\, and data-driven resource and capacity planning for vehicular fog computing.

SUMMARY:TECoSA Seminar - Next generation IoT: Europe‘s opportunity of Open Edge Computing Platforms
DESCRIPTION:We aim to bring you a TECoSA Seminar on the first Thursday of each month during term-time. For Spring 2022\, the talks will be on-line or hybrid. All are welcome to attend and we look forward to some lively discussions. Members can accept the invitations\, non-members can email tecosa-admin@kth.se to register.\nOur April seminar is with Rolf Riemenschneider\, Head of Sector “Internet of Things”\, DG CONNECT\, European Commission. The session will be chaired by Martin Törngren\, and given in Zoom. \nABSTRACT:  Next generation IoT and Edge Computing are driven by a paradigm shift towards decentralised intelligence\, local and swarm computing. Edge computing offers new ways of using computational rexources\, enabling to move computation\, processing and analytics to the edge of the network and close to the place where data is generated. The new paradigm is characterised by advances in embedded and AI processors\, local decision making and reasoning on distributed data and across the computing continuum\, from IoT to edge to cloud.  The new paradigm requires a different research and innovation perspective in terms of management across the computing continuum\, programming environments for distributed IoT systems and an open platform model to deliver the integration of different edge technologies but also a business execution model that can offer the potential to accelerate market adoption and scale. \nThe presentation will focus on the strategic approach taken to support research and innovation technologies ‘From Cloud to Edge to IoT’ under the European Horizon Europe programme.  For more details\, see https://www.ngiot.eu/from-cloud-to-edge-to-iot-for-european-data/ \nBIO: Rolf Riemenschneider is involved in the research and innovation programme Horizon 2020 where he gained experience in research and innovation project management and European policies in the following areas: Advanced Computing\, Cyber Physical Systems\, Factories of the Future and Internet of Things. From 2009-2015\, he managed the ICT activities of the Public-Private Partnership Factories of the Future (PPP FOF). Since 2015\, he coordinates the cross-cutting activities  related to Internet of Things in Horizon 2020  across different policy streams with DG AGRI\, DG ENER\, DG MOVE and DG GROW. \nInside DG Connect\, he leads the research\, innovation and deployment of the next generation of the IoT with strong computing capacity at the edge exploring features like device virtualisation\, interoperability\, real-time\, energy efficiency and distributed intelligence. As an emerging innovation domain\, his key objective is to establish European supply and value chains in cloud to edge to IoT applications and the tactile internet by integrating relevant elements of computing\, connectivity\, IoT and AI. \nOne of the key horizontal activities related to achieving the targets of the Green Deal\, encompasses the Digitisation of the Energy System\, which includes IoT-driven interoperable solutions and products\, available especially in the home and buildings\, to enable an increased flexibility in energy consumption\, foster the integration of renewable energy\, and flexible charging of electric vehicles as well as  innovative application and services across sectors like home\, building\, energy and mobility.

SUMMARY:TECoSA Course Module "Industrial\, Reliable Wireless Networking – Fundamentals and Systems" (2/2)
DESCRIPTION:Attendance is free to all TECoSA members. To register\, please email tecosa-admin@kth.se stating which module(s) you wish to take. Alternatively\, calendar invitations will be issued to everyone on the tecosa-all mailing list. You can register by accepting the invitations that are of interest to you. (This module runs on more than one date – please be sure to accept all the relevant invitations.)\nFormat: Two 1.5-hour workshops\nLocation: Zoom\nTiming: Thurs 17 March kl.16-17.30 CET and Fri 18 March kl.16-17.30 CET\nModule led by: KTH: James Gross (jamesgr@kth.se)\nContent: *Underlying principles; *Communication theory background; *Implementation principles; *Examples (iWLAN\, IO-Link\, 5G\, 802.11be). The content is split into two parts: “fundamentals” and “systems”. For the fundamentals\, we will cover (a) Application layer requirements (b) latency/reliability challenges in wireless systems (c) theoretical results over the last decade (finite-block length models\, medium access schemes\, scheduling). For the systems\, we will cover (a) Wifi Evolution; (b) Cellular Systems; (c) Other approaches.\nAbstract: Wireless systems have been commercialized over the last thirty years mostly as systems to foster communication among humans. Applications like telephony\, client-server apps and lately also video services are good examples of this footprint. However\, over the last decade\, other use cases have become more and more the focus of the research community\, addressing essentially requirements that originate from industrial automation scenarios. These scenarios call for much lower latencies while simultaneously emphasizing the reliability of transmissions. In this module\, we cover the most important aspects of this development\, both from a research perspective (covering fundamentals) as well as from as from a systems perspective\, considering the performance of contemporary standards as well as the next wave of systems to come. \nThe TECoSA Course

SUMMARY:TECoSA Course Module "Machine Reasoning Explainability (an AAMAS tutorial)"
DESCRIPTION:Attendance is free to all TECoSA members. To register\, please email tecosa-admin@kth.se stating which module(s) you wish to take. Alternatively\, calendar invitations will be issued to everyone on the tecosa-all mailing list. You can register by accepting the invitations that are of interest to you. \nFormat: One 3.5-hour tutorial\nLocation: Online (via Teams)\nTiming: Weds 9 March kl.9-12.30 CET\nModule lead by: Ericsson: Alexandros Nikou\, Kristijonas Cyras\, Swarup Kumar Mohalik\, Alessandro Previti (with support from Anusha Pradeep Mujumdar and Aneta Vulgarakis Feljan)\nContent: *Concept; *Technical Part 1(Inference-Based Explanations; SAT/SMT Analysis of Inconsistencies; Argumentation-Based Explanations); *Technical Part 2 (Explainable Planning; Symbolic RL\, Explainability; Causal Approaches to Explainability); *Conclusions.\nAbstract: As a field of AI\, Machine Reasoning (MR) uses largely symbolic means to formalize and emulate abstract reasoning. Studies in early MR have notably started inquiries into Explainable AI (XAI) – arguably one of the biggest concerns today for the AI community. Work on explainable MR as well as on MR approaches to explainability in other areas of AI has continued ever since. It is especially potent in modern MR branches such as argumentation\, constraint and logic programming\, and planning. We hereby aim to provide a selective overview of MR explainability techniques and studies in hopes that insights from this long track of research will complement well the current XAI landscape. \nThe TECoSA Course

SUMMARY:TECoSA Seminar - A Data\, Information and Time model for Distributed real-time computer systems
DESCRIPTION:We aim to bring you a TECoSA Seminar on the first Thursday* of each month during term-time. For Spring 2022\, the talks will be on-line or hybrid. All are welcome to attend and we look forward to some lively discussions. Members can accept the invitations\, non-members can email tecosa-admin@kth.se to register.\nThe March talk (*moved slightly to accommodate sportlov) is given by Prof Hermann Kopetz\, Vienna University of Technology.  The session will be chaired by Martin Törngren\, and given as a hybrid option (you can join in Zoom or at KTH Campus).  This seminar will be held in collaboration with Digital Futures: Distinguished lecture: Prof Hermann Kopetz\, Vienna University of Technology — Digital Futures (kth.se) \nThe Data\, Information\, and Time (DIT) Model \nABSTRACT:  This seminar aims to present a model that clarifies the semantics behind the terms data\, information and their relations to the passage of real time. According to the DIT model a data item is a symbol the signifier of which  appears as a pattern (e.g. visual\, sound\, gesture\, or any bit pattern) in physical space.  The signifier of the symbol is generated by a human or a machine in the current contextual situation and is linked to a concept in the human mind or a set of operations of a machine as its signified.  An information item delivers the sense or the idea that a human mind extracts out of a given natural language proposition that is composed of meaningful data items. Since the given tangible\, intangible and temporal context are part of the explanation of a data item\, a change of context can have an effect on the meaning of data and the sense of a proposition. The DIT model provides a framework to show how the flow of time can change the truth-value of a proposition. Prof Kopetz compares the notions of data\, information\, and time in differing contexts: in human communication\, in the operation of a computer system and in a biological system.  In the final section\, he will present a simple example to demonstrate how the lessons learned from the DIT-model can help to reduce the complexity and improve the design of a real-time computer system. \nBIO:Hermann Kopetz is a professor emeritus at Vienna University of Technology. He was named an IEEE Fellow in 1994 for contributions to fault-tolerant\, real-time systems. He is a cofounder of the company TTTech https://www.tttech.com/innovation/research-projects/. \npublication date 16 April 2022

SUMMARY:TECoSA Course Module "Trustworthiness and Dependability in Edge-based CPS" (2/2)
DESCRIPTION:Attendance is free to all TECoSA members. To register\, please email tecosa-admin@kth.se stating which module(s) you wish to take. Alternatively\, calendar invitations will be issued to everyone on the tecosa-all mailing list. You can register by accepting the invitations that are of interest to you.

Flipped class-room sessions (with preparation + assignment); discussion; collaborative effort to create a web/wiki page with “TECoSA” key concepts.\nAbstract: As Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) become smarter\, more automated\, connected and collaborating\, their new capabilities provide unprecedented opportunities for innovation in a large number of industrial and societal domains. As the same time\, future CPS will incorporate a computing continuum\, from smart devices over the edge to the cloud\, often forming part of systems of systems. As such future CPS are adopted (in industry\, society and infrastructures)\, we will even more than now be relying on their availability and correct functioning. This implies that various failures\, intrusions\, and non-intended features\, misuse\, and negative emergent behavior may have very drastic effects on our lives. Trustworthiness and dependability thus become key requirements for future CPS. \nThe TECoSA Course

SUMMARY:TECoSA Seminar - Semantics for Robotics
DESCRIPTION:We aim to bring you a TECoSA Seminar at kl.15 on the first Thursday of each month. This Autumn they will once again be on-line\, and all are welcome to join (members accept the Outlook invite\, non-members please email “tecosa-admin@kth.se”). Each invited speaker will talk for about 40 minutes\, followed by a panel discussion coordinated by TECoSA members. \n\n \n          Amy Loutfi \n\nWe end  the seminar series for 2021 with a talk by Prof Amy Loutfi\, Head of the AASS Machine Perception and Interaction Lab and Pro-Vice Chancellor at Örebro University.  Please see the abstract and short biography below.  To read more about the lab and Prof Loutfi’s research\, please see: https://mpi.aass.oru.se/ and https://www.oru.se/english/employee/amy_loutfi \nPanel: Iolanda Leite (Chair)\,  Rafia Inam (Ericsson)\, Alexis Linard (KTH) \nSemantics for Robotics \nABSTRACT: As humans and robots start to cohabit the same environment and interact deeper with each other\, the need for robots and other artificial agents to truly understand human instruction increases. This understanding not only involves the ability for robots to decode human speech\, but also the ability to ground words that refer to physical objects\, actions\, and concepts –  to the perceptual information coming from the sensors embedded on the agent. This challenge in part deals with the symbol grounding problem\, that is\, how to ground symbols into something other than symbols.  Further with the advent of advances within representation learning\, due to many of the advances within sub-symbolic architectures there has been an opportunity to examine how the grounding can be learned using large (and simulated) datasets. This talk will highlight the research at Örebro University where semantics are learned\, integrated and used for robotic systems. \nBIO: Amy Loutfi graduated as an electrical engineer from the University of New Brunswick in Canada in 2001.  She received her Ph.D. in Computer Science in 2006 with a research topic in machine perception. Specifically\, she researched about how gas sensors could be integrated onto robotic platforms and how these robots can interact with humans in order to solve a range of problems that required sensing and perception. She has since broadened her research interests to include general research directions within machine perception\, where AI methods like Machine learning are used for the interpretation of sensor data. She also has broadened her research in the area of Human Robot Interaction where she has studied HRI in various platforms that include fully autonomous robots\, but also teleoperated robots. She has a long experience working with industry and the public sector on research projects dealing with AI\, robotics and human-robot interaction. \nIn addition to her research\, Amy is a leader on strategic issues in artificial intelligence for Sweden. She is co-director of WASP\, the Wallenberg AI\, Autonomous Systems and Software Program and is involved in both AI Sweden and AI Competence of Sweden. She is also part of Sweden’s Restart Commission with a focus digitalization and where the mandate includes the development a legal framework for the use of AI. She takes on these initiatives as part of her role as Pro-Vice-Chancellor for AI at Örebro University.
