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. (This module runs on more than one date – please be sure to accept all the relevant invitations.)\nFormat: Two half-day workshops\, plus preparation and homework\nLocation: KTH Campus\, with “join on-line” option\nTiming: Thurs 24 Feb kl.9-12 CET and Thurs 3 March kl.9-12 CET\nModule led by: KTH: Martin Törngren (martint@kth.se)\nContent: An overview of established views and definitions; relationships between concepts; trends; “schools”. 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 - 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 "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 Course Module "Industrial\, Reliable Wireless Networking – Fundamentals and Systems" (1/2)
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
