SUMMARY:Inauguration of TECoSA’s Edge computing testbeds at KTH
DESCRIPTION:Paving the way for the smart digital infrastructures of tomorrow\nTECoSA is long term research center on Trustworthy Edge Computing Systems and Applications\, funded by Vinnova and partners. Since the start in 2020\, TECoSA involves a growing number of industrial partners (currently 16) and 9 research groups at KTH. \nTECoSA addresses industrial digitalization with specific emphasis on edge-computing based systems for critical applications\, where different aspects of trustworthiness are of key concern\,including but not limited to safety\, cybersecurity and predictability. \nAs a main effort\, TECoSA is driving the development of two edge-computing testbeds to promote research in the area and to stimulate collaboration. The testbeds will serve both research on core aspects of digital infrastructures as well as industrial applications. The development of the testbeds has been funded by VINNOVA as well as SSF. \nOn Friday 1 September 2023\, TECoSA will inaugurate its testbeds at KTH\, encompassing two set-ups: \n\nIndoor: Inside R1 (the former experimental reactor hall at KTH)\, TECoSA has deployed a two radio networks comprising of software-defined radios as well as commercial 5G equipment\, (provided through Telenor\, based on Ericsson equipment). Major efforts went into the backend software and hardware infrastructure\, allowing flexible\, repeatable and automated experimentation.\n\n\nOutdoor: Established with KTH on-premise edge compute facilities on the KTH Valhallavägen campus\, the testbed is coupled with the 5G outdoor network of Telenor and Ericsson. Telenor provides network access\, and preferred routing of data to the edge compute facilities on KTH premises.\n\nThe event will feature visits and initial demos related to the testbed and research in TECoSA\, as well as a panel discussion with KTH and partners including Ericsson\, Saab\, Telenor\, Avassa and Einride. \nFor more information\, and to request your invite\, please contact Martin Törngren (martint@kth.se) or James Gross (jamesgr@kth.se) \n\nAgenda\n13.00: Welcome and introductions!\n* TECoSA introduction and overview (TECoSA director\, Martin Törngren\, KTH)\n* Strategic collaboration and testbeds (Mikael Lindström\, prorector\, KTH)\n* The role of future smart infrastructures (Jonas Eden\, CMO Telenor) \n13.25: Panel debate\, chaired by Jana Tumova\, TECoSA project lead\, KTH\n* Magnus Frodigh\, Head of Research\, Ericsson\n* Petter Bedoire\, CTO SAAB\n* Jonas Eden\, CMO Telenor\n* Calle Moberg\, CTO Avassa\n* Andreas Ahlström\, Director of public funding and research collaborations Einride\n* Mikael Lindström\, Pro-rektor KTH \n14.15: TECoSA testbeds\, demos and mingle with refreshments\n* TECoSA testbeds and intro to demos (TECoSA co-director\, James Gross\, KTH)\n* Testbed demos and mingle with refreshments \n15.30: Inauguration closes \nThe indoor testbed in R1

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.
