The main interest of the Group is focused on semiconductor and smart sensors, protocols and interfaces for smart sensor communication, microsystems design and tests, wireless sensor interfaces. Research Group on Industrial Measurement Systems (Head - Grzegorz Pankanin Ph.D., 2 members) conducts research in designing and realization of measurement systems dedicated for specific industrial applications. In the area of Group interest: • Sensors for physical quantities measurement (flow sensors, temperature and pressure), • Signal processing systems, • Data acquisition systems, results presentation and equipment control (pumps, valves, and heaters). Research Group on Automatic Test Systems (Head – Professor Konrad Hejn, 4 members) conducts research in analogue to digital conversion techniques: • Delta - sigma modulators, • Highly efficient decimators, • DSP algorithms, • VXI/SCPI technology. VHDL modeling and simulation are the main topics of the research conducted. To provide a bridge between DSP theory and the physical world of analogue to the digital converter’s circuit the Group is always at the center of interest. Research Group on Optoelectronic Circuits (Head – Kazimierz Jedrzejewski Ph.D., 4 members) conducts research in: • Optoelectronic metrology in laboratory and industry, • Optical fiber technology, • Solitons and nonlinear fiber optics, • Optical fiber devices, • Multicomponent and fluoride glass fibers, • Optical fiber sensors, • Image processing, • Optical computing, Research Group on Internet Measurement Systems (Head – Professor Ryszard Romaniuk 5 members, 6 Ph.D.Students) conducts research in: • Distributed measuring systems and Electronics for HEP (High Energy Physics), • Terabit Optical Internet, • DWDM Systems. The Group cooperates closely with DESY (Hamburg), CERN (Geneva), FNAL (Batavia, Ill), Soltan Institute of Nuclear Problems and Institute of Experimental Physics of Warsaw University. The major research product of the Group is photonic/electronic control system for SRF accelerator, referred in the world bibliography to as the SIMCON (ver.2.1, 3.0, 3.1). The Group maintains several active web servers, and high power cluster with networked MatLab system. The Group has two laboratories: PERG – Photonics and Web Engineering Research and ELHEP – Electronics for High Energy Physics Experiments. - 12 -
INSTITUTE OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS - Annual Report 2005 1.7. Independent Research Group on Artificial Intelligence Head: Jan J. Mulawka, Professor, Ph.D., D.Sc. Room: 225 Phone: 0-22 660 5319 e-mail: jml@ise.pw.edu.pl Staff: Jaroslaw Arabas, Assistant Professor Ph.D., Pawel Cichosz, Assistant Professor Ph.D., Piotr Wasiewicz, Assistant Professor Ph.D., Robert Nowak, Assistant, Ph.D. General Information The activities of the Artificial Intelligence Group include teaching and scientific research in the field of intelligent computational techniques. These are techniques developed for solving most demanding tasks which may require intelligence when they are performed by humans, and are particularly hard for computers. Most extensively studied families of such tasks include search, optimization, inference, and learning. Within each of them there are several more specific tasks and corresponding intelligent computational techniques, which have received significant interest both from scientists and practitioners. This corresponds to a technical view of artificial intelligence (as opposed to other views present in philosophy, psychology, or pop culture). The Group's research is particularly focused on the following fields: • evolutionary computation: search and optimization inspired by natural evolution, • inductive learning: automatic knowledge acquisition by generalizing training examples, • reinforcement learning: automatic skill acquisition from rewards, • data mining: discovering useful patterns in data and transforming them into predictive models, • neural networks: learning in neurobiologically inspired networks of simple processing units, • support vector machines: a statistical approach to machine learning, • molecular computation: solving computational tasks using the "hardware" of DNA and molecular biology. Primary research goals are developing new algorithms with improved properties and investigating their most promising prospective applications. In particular, the Group has contributed e.g. novel evolutionary computation techniques, new theoretical results on the properties of evolutionary algorithms, several applications of evolutionary algorithms, neural networks and support vector machines to real-world optimization an modeling tasks, novel reinforcement learning speed-up techniques, experimentally verified molecular implementations of several basic combinatorial and logical operations. The scope of teaching activities of the Artificial Intelligence Group is even broader. There are courses covering nearly all major tasks and computational techniques within the field of artificial intelligence. Apart from the reseach topics listed above, which are also extensively taught, additional teaching topics include heuristic search, deductive inference, expert systems, game-playing, and nonlinear optimization methods. The Group also participates in basic computer science teaching, in particular in programming and databases. . - 13 -
