Annual Report 2002 9 1.1 Organisation AASS is organized in matrix form, as shown in the figure below. AASS Management Prof. P. Wide, Director Prof. D. Driankov, Research Coordinator E. Liljedahl, Project Coordinator B. Alvin, Administrative Assistant Research Laboratories BIS Lab S.Eskiizmirliler, PhD MR Lab Prof. A Saffiotti IC Lab Doc. I. Kalaykov Research Projects Technical Support Group: Per Sporrong and Alexander Skoglund LS Lab T. Duckett, PhD Graduate Program Director: Lars Karlsson, PhD MSc Program in Computer Engineering Program Coordinator: Lars Karlsson, PhD Undergraduate Studies at Division of Computer Engineering Director of Studies: Silvia Coradeschi, PhD EU Marie Curie Training Program in Autonomous Robotics (2002-2004) Program Coordinator Prof. Dimiter Driankov The research labs reflect the four main directions in the research area of Autonomous Systems, i.e., BIS - Perception Science and Technology; ML - Reasoning Science and Technology; IC - Action Science and Technology; and LS - Learning Systems and Technology. Thus they represent competence areas within which basic research is conducted. According to their disciplinary competence, e.g., Computer Science, Computer Engineering, AI, Systems and Control, Machine Learning etc., they also provide resources - courses, teachers, and supervisors - for the graduate and undergraduate studies programs and the rest of the horizontal entries in the above figure: 1. Research projects are defined within labs (lab-specific projects), across labs (inter-lab projects), and/or cooperation with external partners (external projects). The lab leaders are responsible for the budget and project work on lab-specific projects and external projects. The AASS research coordinator is responsible for inter-lab projects. The technical support
10 AASS – Center for Applied Autonomous Sensor Systems group provides technical assistance in the design and maintenance of robot platforms, sensor systems and the associated work with these software environments and programming tools. 2. AASS Graduate program defines the PhD studies curriculum for all graduate students at AASS independent of their specific research area. The director of the program is responsible for its structure and contents, as well as the enrollment of graduate students and supervision of the formal aspects of progress in their PhD studies. The actual PhD thesis work and its supervision is done within the research labs. AASS graduate students have the possibility also to be enrolled in the Swedish National Graduate School in Computer Science (CUGS) where Örebro is one of the participating universities. The Director of the AASS Graduate program also is a member of the steering committee of CUGS. 3. MSc program in Computer Engineering is a 4-year studies program, which upon its completion provides for 160 points of studies and leads to the degree “MSc in Technology, with profile in Computer Engineering”. The first two years of this program are common with the 3-year undergraduate program in Computer Engineering at the Dept. of Technology. The decision whether to join the MSc program is done upon the completion of the second year of the 3-year undergraduate program. The coordinator of the MSc program is responsible for the program's structure and content, its monitoring and “marketing”, enrollment, assignment of teaching staff etc. In its current form the program contains courses directly related to the disciplinary and research competence at AASS. 4. Undergraduate education in Computer Engineering is a 3-year studies program given within the Computer Engineering Division of the Dept. of Technology. The director of AASS also is director of the Computer Engineering Division, and Silvia Coradeschi, a researcher at AASS, is a director of studies for the Computer Engineering program who is responsible for both the 3 and 4 years programs. The responsibilities of the director include program structure and content, teaching staff assignment, enrollment, budget work etc. AASS research staff and PhD students are natural part of the teaching staff. 5. EU Marie Curie Training Program in Autonomous Robotics is a 4-year, EU-funded program, aimed at providing support for the training and mobility of PhD students throughout Europe. This scheme supports short stays by young researchers pursuing doctoral studies in the area of Autonomous Systems, providing them with the possibility of undertaking part of their doctoral studies in a country other than their own, and allowing them the benefit of working within an internationally recognized group - in this case AASS - in their specialized area of research - a particular AASS laboratory. The coordinator of the program is responsible for all organizational, management, and budget work as well as for contacts with the EU Commission, “marketing”, selection and enrollment of candidates. Actual research work supervision is done within the respective labs.
