Seminar "Resilience to change: Artificial immune systems (AIS) for cyber-physical systems (CPS)".
As part of the scientific animation of the automatique department of LAMIH, a seminar will be held by Saber DARMOUL, assistant professor at Ecole Centrale de Casablanca, Morocco.
Summary:
In cyber-physical systems (CPS), such as intelligent production and service systems (e.g. flexible/reconfigurable manufacturing systems), and intelligent transportation systems (public transport and traffic control), change can have significant impacts on organization, performance, service quality and user safety and satisfaction. At the design stage, change is linked to modifications to requirements and specifications, while at the operational stage, which is more the focus of this seminar, change is linked to disruptions and risks, due for example to the availability and reliability of resources, the capacity of processes and the stability of the environment (natural, social, legal, economic). On-line detection of different types of disturbance, preventive identification and assessment of their risky consequences, and timely reaction are important tasks for maintaining service performance and quality, and thus for ensuring operational resilience. The talk will provide an overview of Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) as an artificial intelligence paradigm and generic design pattern for realizing distributed and adaptive control of disturbances and risks in transmission and generation SPCs. A distributed, knowledge-based decision-making framework will be presented, applications to production and transportation systems will be described, and future research opportunities will be highlighted.
Brief biography:
Saber Darmoul holds bachelor's and master's degrees in industrial computing, automation and control engineering with highest honors from the Institut national des sciences appliquées et de technologie (INSAT), one of Tunisia's most renowned universities in the field of engineering education. He holds a PhD in computer engineering from the Université Clermont Auvergne (formerly Université Blaise Pascal), France. He is currently affiliated with Ecole Centrale Casablanca, Morocco, which is a member of the international Groupe Ecole Centrale (GEC) network, with campuses in France, China, India and Morocco. His areas of expertise are related to systems engineering, with a focus on requirements engineering, value analysis, systems architecture and design, performance evaluation and improvement using simulation and optimization, industrial information systems and data-driven decision-making. His research focuses on the use of distributed artificial intelligence (multi-agent, holonic and bionic/bio-inspired systems) to monitor and control disturbances and risks in cyber-physical systems. Applications include intelligent manufacturing systems and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Mr. Darmoul leads several funded research projects in the fields of industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing, transportation and traffic engineering, human-machine interaction and virtual transportation systems.
