Intelligent systems

Profile

The performance of an intelligent system, which is formed by the interconnection of embedded system nodes, relies on the underlying physical and communication architecture, its robustness and security. The architecture defines the distribution of objectives, constraints, the decision-making process, functionality and responsibilities in the system.

In our research and development work we focus on:

• Methods and architectures for distributed decision-making and optimisation; e.g. scheduling, resource allocation and real-time optimisation. 
• Implementation of distributed decision-making in embedded systems to form intelligent infrastructures.
• Robust and secure protocols and middleware layers for IoT and M2M communication.
• Architectures for integration and implementation of machine learning and artificial intelligence.
• Integration, interfacing and processing of data and sensors in embedded systems.
