Time: 13.00 - 14.00 hrs.
This talk will start by reviewing some active projects in my research group. In the second half of my talk I will discuss a nonlinear dynamical system's approach to machine learning. In particular I will describe a class of deterministic weakly chaotic dynamical systems with infinite memory. These "herding systems'' combine learning and inference into a single algorithm. They convert moments directly into a sequence of pseudo-samples without learning an explicit model.
The collaborative design workshop is a guided workshop between proffessionals in the area of disaster control and a international group of researchers. After the first succesfull workshop in Oslo we will now discuss the situations from practice. The emphasis will be on the following topics:
- Organisation at big accidents
- Communication and collaboration between different services
- Communication and collaboration between safety regions
- Communication and colloaboration with proffesionals en services from the vital infrastructure
On November 15, 2011, the DIADEM consortium organized the final DIADEM demonstration and Transfer Advisory Council (TAC) event. The event was attended by 19 distinguished TAC delegates from Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Israel, Norway and The Netherlands.
The event consisted of a live demonstration of the integrated DIADEM system followed by a technical discussion with the TAC delegates. The demonstration was based on a synthetic use case derived from the real world use cases provided by the user partners DCMR Milieudienst Rijnmond and the Danish Emergency Management Agency. The demonstrations were followed by a technical workshop, where the DIADEM partners explained to the TAC delegates technical aspects of various DIADEM components. Each component was discussed in a sequence and evaluated by the TAC via a survey.
The 4th D-CIS Human Factors Event continues the tradition established in previous years of facilitating the collaboration between academic institutions and industrial organizations to explore Human Factors issues via novel information dissemination and discussion methods.
The emergent field of Intelligent Distributed Computing focuses on the development of a new generation of intelligent distributed systems. It faces the challenges of adapting and combining research in the fields of Intelligent Computing and Distributed Computing. Intelligent Computing develops methods and technology ranging from classical artificial intelligence, computational intelligence and multi-agent systems to game theory. The field of Distributed Computing develops methods and technology to build systems that are composed of collaborating components. The symposium welcomes submissions of original papers on all aspects of intelligent distributed computing ranging from concepts and theoretical developments to advanced technologies and innovative applications.

Prof. dr. F.M.T Brazier
Bij besluit van het College van Bestuur van 14 april 2009
benoemd tot hoogleraar in de Faculteit Techniek, Bestuur en Management aan de Technische Universiteit Delft, om werkzaam te zijn op het vakgebied Engineering Systems Foundations, is ter gelegenheid van haar ambtsaanvaarding voornemens een oratie te houden,
Met als titel: ‘Shaping participation: a new design paradigm’
The IMAV2011 (International Micro Air Vehicle Conference and Competition) organised by D-CIS Lab partners Thales and the TU Delft was a big succes.
The MAV technology is coming up real fast. MAVs are not only getting more stable to fly but also are getting more smarter. They can perform tasks autonomously.
In the future we will see lots of applications were MAVs will be used. Think of monitoring embankments or oil pipes, measuring toxic gasses in the air, or exploring buildings that are on fire or are heavily damaged by an earthquake. Also for crowd management it would be very sufficient and cheap to gather the necessary information.
We are pleased to announce a special of colloquim prof. Rinus Plasmeijer and Bas Lijnse. They will present a new approach to the rapid development of complex web-based multi-user systems. Taking a Task Oriented Programming (TOP) approach they will explain and demonstrate how the iTask toolkit can be applied to complex real world applications. In particular examples will be given from a project providing automated support for the Dutch Coastguard. In an interactive session there will be opportunity to discuss how iTasks can be used to develop a variety of other applications.
