Project: RUBICON (for Robotic UBIquitous COgnitive Network)

• Funding: European FP7
• Status: Active
• Date: 0000-00-00 to 0000-00-00
• Contribution: 2.2 Million
• description:

  This project will create a self-learning robotic ecology, called RUBICON (for Robotic UBIquitous COgnitive Network), consisting of a network of sensors, effectors and mobile robot devices. Enabling robots to seamlessly operate as part of these ecologies is an important challenge for robotics R&D, in order to support applications such as ambient assisted living, security, etc. Current approaches heavily rely on models of the environment and on human configuration and supervision and lack the ability to smoothly adapt to evolving situations. These limitations make these systems hard and costly to deploy and maintain in real world applications, as they must be tailored to the specific environment and constantly updated to suit changes in both the environments and in the applications where they are deployed. A RUBICON ecology will be able to teach itself about its environment and learn to improve the way it carries out different tasks. The ecology will act as a persistent memory and source of intelligence for all its participants and it will exploit the mobility and the better sensing capabilities of the robots to verify and provide the feedback on its own performance. As the nodes of a RUBICON ecology will mutually support one another’s learning, the ecology will identify, commission and fulfil tasks more effectively and efficiently. The project builds on many years of experience across a world-leading consortium. It combines robotics, multi-agent systems, novelty detection, dynamic planning, statistical and computational neuroscience methods, efficient component & data abstraction, robot/WSN middleware and three robotic test-beds. Validation will take place using two application scenarios. Impact: The project will reduce the amount of preparation and pre-programming that robotic and/or wireless sensor network (WSN) solutions require when they are deployed. In addition, RUBICON ecologies will reduce the need to maintain and re-configure already-deployed systems, so that changes in the requirements of such systems can be easily implemented and new components can be easily accommodated. The relative intelligence and mobility of a robot, when compared to those of a typical wireless sensor node, means that WSN nodes embedded in a RUBICON ecology can learn about their environment and their domain application, through the ‘training’ that is provided by the robot. This means that the quality of service which is offered by WSNs can be significantly improved, without the need for extensive human involvement.

7th International Workshop on Security and Trust Management (STM’11)

• Topic: Security, Trust Management, Privacy
• Type: Workshop
• Date: 2011-06-27 to 2011-06-28
• Place: Copenhagen, Denmark
• Lecturer: * "A Non-Standard for Trust", by Stephen Marsh, Communications Research Centre, Canada. * "Trust Extorsion on the Internet" by Audun Josang, University of Oslo, Norway.
• Coverage: The 7th International Workshop on Security and Trust Management (STM’11) was held in Copenhagen (Denmark) from the 27th to 28th of June 2011. It was co-located with IFIPTM’11. The General Chairs of this year event were Christian Damsgaard Jensen from The Technical University of Denmark and Aljosa Pasic from Atos (Spain). Catherine Meadows from the Naval Research laboratory (US) and Carmen Fernandez-Gago from the University of Malaga (Spain) serve as Program co-Chairs. This year’s program included two invited talks. The first of these talks was delivered by Stephen Marsh from the Communications Research Centre in Ottawa (Canada) and the title was “A Non-Standard for Trust”. His talk considered the proliferation of mobile technologies that are available to users in his every day applications. This made difficult to ensure security as well as the application of traditional trust models in order to establish trust relationships among users. The second talk was delivered by Audun Josang from the University of Oslo (Norway) with the title “Trust Extorsion on the Internet”. He analysed the fact that the Internet plays a crucial role for the provision of multiple comercial services but at the same time it is exposed to some security risks that users perceive. This may result in a detrimental use of the Internet as a comercial platform. Due to this anohter business model came up that intends to increase the perception of security for users. Thus, he discussed the validity of the autosigned certificated that are mainly consider as proof of authenticity but it might not be the case. This is forcing some companies to buy certificates emitted by these certification authorities in order to ensure their businedd to continue. As one of the main goals of the ERCIM STM Working Group is to promote the scientific growth of young researchers interested in the field of security and trust management, an award for the best Ph.D. thesis in the area has been established. The main objective of this award is to increase the visibility of the young researchers inside the ERCIM scientific community as well as in the larger European one. The PhD Thesis ERCIM award winner of this year has been “Automorphic Signatures and its Applications” by Georg Fuchsbauer. Besides the invited talks the technical program consisted of four sessions focusing on different topics such as Access Control, Authorization and Authentication, Trust Management or Architectures and Protocols. In these sessions 12 accepted papers, out of 37 submissions, were presented. The submissions as well as the accepted papers came not only from Europe but also from the United States or India. This year’s workshop also included a panel on “New Paradigms on Trust”. The members of the panel were Audung Josang, Stephen Marsh, Michael Goldsmith, Carsten Rudolph and Ketil Stolen.

• Coverage: Data of different scales and sources play a big role for building and running mesoscale environmental models. They serve as input data to model runs, build the basis for the models themselves and for their validation. Thus methods for deriving the necessary parameters, input values and validation characteristics are of increasing interest to enhance the quality of simulation results. This session addresses methods and tools from informatics to process and analyze these data with respect to their use in mesoscale environmental models. Particular topics are: - Remote sensing techniques - Uncertainty analysis of data - Aggregation of data of scales smaller than mesoscale to perform high quality and sustainable parametrization of processes modeled, in particular for surface characteristics - Analysis of data from a global scale as drivers and boundary conditions for mesoscale models - Statistical methods for data analysis - GIS based methods - Emission models - Coupling of models of different scales to mesoscale models to enhance performance of models - Tools and methods to automate resulting workflows of data gathering, analysis, model run, analysis of results, model based management and graphical representation.
