Research Interests and Activities
We are interesting and focusing on decision aiding software-based applications and systems in the context of uncertainty. Such applications and systems deal with:
-
heterogeneous, distributed, uncertain or incomplete information;
-
(AI) methods and algorithms to automate processes, detect anamalies, predict future situations;
-
information aggregation for providing higher level information to the user, helping her/him to decide;
-
changing context and situation needing dynamic, adaptable systems;
-
(workflow) pipeline architectures design and enactment.
In order to take into account such topics simultaneously, our multidisciplinary work is based on specific scientific domains:
-
information fusion and information fusion model methods;
-
business process engineering methods for evolvable business process mining, design, analysis, execution (manufacturing processes, touristic processes, information fusion processes, …);
-
decision-aiding methods, and machine learning methods;
- software systems engineering methods for adaptable and distributed software-based applications and systems design (i.e architecture, deployment).
In order to assist the user in her/him decision making process, (1) interactions between the software app./system and the user is an important aspect as well as (2) the context when the software app./system will be used.
(Uncertain) information representation, aggregation models, processing models (AI) are mathematical models. We design (1) the algorithms that enact and support such models, (2) the processes that use these models and (3) the distributed software system that integrates the algorithms.
We are applied our approach in the following fields:
- mountain expert decision aiding applications that deals with snow avalanche risky conditions (present);
- human resource-based business and administrative processes (present);
- manufacturing processes (present);
- tourism itinerary processes and touristic activity recommender system (past);
- software processes and architectures (past).
We develop some algorithms and software prototypes for proof of concept purpose.
In the past, models for both the software system architecture design and the business process design were mainly based or inspired from the pi-calculus.
