Abstract: Abstract:
In this talk we will explore how collective intelligence, a concept long studied in social sciences, is becoming essential for enhancing reliability and safety of distributed autonomous systems in fields like automated driving and robotics. The talk will in particular focus on the need for developing novel computing paradigms for collective decision-making in autonomous systems. The aim is to enable the design of collaborative, safe, and real-time decision-making for autonomous systems operating in complex environments and that need to additionally meet safety-critical requirements. This complex problem goes through solving several challenges in guaranteeing the timeliness of receiving data over complex compute and communication infrastructure, improving the trustworthiness of data information and the study of how it can contribute to collaborative decision making through aggregation to provide more reliable and safe autonomous services.
Bio:
Selma Saidi is full professor of Computer Engineering and Head of institute of Computer and Network Engineering (IDA) at the Technical University of Braunschweig in Germany. Her research focus is on the design, implementation and validation of innovative intelligent computing systems where connectivity, real-time and safety requirements play an important role. Her application areas include avionics, automotive and more recently human-assistive robotics. She is one of the initiators of the DATE Special Initiative on Autonomous Systems Design.
