Description

The goal of this project is a joint work on common fields of participant's and hosting institution research. Participant's dissertation focuses on dynamically reconfigurable distributed data acquisition and control system that operates mainly on devices with limited resources. The system produces field data collected from its sensors and provides data about its nodes operation. All data is transmitted to the central control unit that performs analysis covering also the energy efficiency of the system. Possible improvements are discovered using target environment simulation and new algorithms and nodes characteristics are deduced. Big Data Lab at the Aalesund University College focuses on the analysis of big data gathered from the north-western More maritime cluster of Norway, so the aim is to utilize the experience of this research within participant's dissertation research and vice versa. Resulting work will be submitted and presented in a respectable conference as a scientific paper.

Summary of project results

The aim of the project was a joint research of the Department of Intelligent Systems (DES) at Brno University of Technology with members of the Big Data Lab (BDL) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. The research of members of DES are targets to formally defined dynamically reconfigurable software architectures with home automation as an application area. The Norwegian part of the team focuses on the collection, processing and storing large amounts of data. An important fact is a collaboration of the Alesund University with Rolls-Royce Marine and Vard Holdings - leading manufacturers of oceangoing vessels that are equipped with control systems remotely similar to the home automation ones. The basic idea was to employ the DES research in this area. The developments of the research were consulted with software experts who are subcontractors of the two companies mentioned. Results will be published on renowned Computer Aided Systems Theory conference Eurocast 2017.
